8169.5.  (a) In furtherance of the Capitol Area Plan, the objectives of Resolution Chapter 131 of the Statutes of 1991, and the legislative findings and declarations contained in Chapter 193 of the Statutes of 1996, relative to the findings by the Urban Land Institute, the director may purchase, exchange, or otherwise acquire real property and construct facilities, including any improvements, betterments, and related facilities, within the jurisdiction of the Capitol Area Plan in the City of Sacramento pursuant to this section. The total authorized scope of the project shall consist of up to approximately 1,470,200 gross square feet of office space and approximately 742,625 gross square feet of parking structures for use by the State Department of Education, the State Department of Health Care Services, the State Department of Public Health, and the Department of General Services as anchor tenants on blocks 171, 172, 173, 174, and 225, along with related additional parking on block 224, within the Capitol area. The acquisition and construction authorized pursuant to this section may not cause the displacement of any state or legislative employee parking spaces in the blocks specified in this subdivision unless the Department of General Services makes available existing state-owned parking spaces, acquires parking spaces, or constructs replacement parking that results in the affected employees’ parking spaces being located at a reasonable distance from their place of employment.(b) Subject to paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (c), the department may contract for the lease, lease-purchase, lease with an option to purchase, acquisition, design, design-build, construction, construction management, and other services related to the design and construction of the office and parking facilities authorized to be acquired pursuant to subdivision (a).(c) (1) The State Public Works Board may issue revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 15830) of Part 10b of Division 3 to finance all costs associated with acquisition, design, and construction of office and parking facilities for the purposes of this section. The State Public Works Board and the department may borrow funds for project costs from the Pooled Money Investment Account pursuant to Sections 16312 and 16313. In the event the bonds authorized by the project are not sold, the State Department of Education, the State Department of Health Care Services, the State Department of Public Health, and the Department of General Services, as determined by the Department of Finance, shall commit a sufficient amount of their support appropriations to repay any loans made for the project from the Pooled Money Investment Account. It is the intent of the Legislature that this commitment shall be included in future Budget Acts until all outstanding loans from the Pooled Money Investment Account are repaid either through the proceeds from the sale of bonds or from an appropriation.(2) (A) If the department proposes to acquire the facilities on a design-build basis, prior to the department entering into an agreement pursuant to subdivision (b) to design and build the facilities on blocks 171, 172, 173, 174, and 225, as specified in subdivision (a), the department shall submit to the Legislature a copy of all documents that shall be the basis upon which bids will be solicited and awarded to design and build the facilities. The documents shall include the following:(i) The request for qualifications.(ii) Site development guidelines.(iii) Architectural and all system design requirements for the facilities.(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the recommended specific criteria and process by which the contractor shall be selected.(v) The performance criteria and standards for the architecture and all components and systems of the facilities.(B) The information in the documents shall be provided in at least as much detail as was prepared for the San Francisco Civic Center Complex project and shall cover the quality of materials, equipment, and workmanship to be used in the facilities. These documents shall also include a detailed and specific space program for the facilities that identifies the specific spatial needs of the state agencies.(C) If the department proposes to contract for construction separate from design, the department shall, prior to commencing work on working drawings for the facilities on blocks 171, 172, 173, 174, and 225, submit to the Legislature a copy of the preliminary plans for the facilities and a detailed and specific space program for the facilities that identifies the specific spatial needs of the state agencies.(E) Regardless of how the department proposes to acquire the facilities, the department also shall submit all of the following information, which may be included in the bid documents:(i) A final estimated cost for design, construction, and other costs.(ii) How the department would manage the contracts entered into for this project to ensure compliance with contract requirements and to ensure that the state receives the highest level of quality workmanship and materials for the funds spent on the project.(3) The department shall submit to the Legislature the information required to be submitted pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (6) on or before December 1, 1998. Except for those contracts and agreements necessary to prepare the information required by paragraphs (2) and (6), the department shall not solicit bids to enter into any agreement to design and build or otherwise acquire the facilities or commence work on working drawings on block 171, 172, 173, 174, or 225 sooner than the later of April 1, 1999, or 120 days after the department submits to the Legislature the information required to be submitted pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (6). The Legislative Analyst shall evaluate the information submitted to the Legislature and shall prepare a report to the Joint Committee on Rules within 60 days of receiving the documents submitted to the Legislature. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Joint Committee on Rules meet prior to the date the department is authorized to solicit bids to design and build or otherwise acquire the facilities or commence work on working drawings for the purposes of discussing the report from the Legislative Analyst and adopting a report with any recommendations to the department on changes to the site design criteria, performance criteria, and specifications and specific criteria for determining the winning bidder. If the Joint Committee on Rules adopts a report prior to the date the department is authorized to solicit bids to design and build or otherwise acquire the facilities or commence work on working drawings, the department may solicit the bids or commence the work when the report is adopted by the Joint Committee on Rules. The Senate Committee on Rules and the Speaker of the Assembly may designate members of their respective houses to monitor the progress of the preparation of the documents to be submitted pursuant to paragraph (2). The department shall prepare periodic progress reports and meet with the designated members or their representatives, as necessary, while preparing the documents.(4) The amount of revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes to be sold may equal, but shall not exceed, the cost of planning, preliminary plans, working drawings, construction, construction management and supervision, other costs relating to the design and construction of the facilities, and any additional sums necessary to pay interim and permanent financing costs. The additional amount may include interest and a reasonable required reserve fund.(5) Authorized costs of the facilities for preliminary plans, working drawings, construction, and other costs shall not exceed three hundred ninety-two million dollars ($392,000,000). Notwithstanding Section 13332.11, the State Public Works Board may authorize the augmentation of the amount authorized under this paragraph by up to 10 percent of the amount authorized.(6) The net present value of the cost to acquire and operate the facilities authorized by subdivision (a) may not exceed the net present value of the cost to lease and operate an equivalent amount of comparable office space over the same time period. The department shall perform this analysis and shall obtain interest rates, discount rates, and Consumer Price Index figures from the Treasurer and submit its analysis with the documents submitted pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c). For purposes of this analysis, the department shall compare the cost of acquiring and operating the proposed facilities with the avoided cost of leasing and operating an equivalent amount of comparable office space that will no longer need to be leased because either (A) agencies will no longer occupy currently leased facilities when they occupy the proposed facilities, or (B) agencies will no longer occupy currently leased facilities when they occupy state-owned space being vacated by state agencies occupying the proposed facilities. The analysis shall also include the cost of any unique improvement associated with the moving of an agency into any state-owned space that would be vacated by agencies moving into the proposed facilities. However, these costs shall not include the cost of renovating or modernizing vacated state-owned space that is necessary to accommodate state agencies in general purpose office space. This paragraph shall not be construed as authorizing any renovation of state-owned space.(d) The director may execute and deliver a contract with the State Public Works Board for the lease of the facilities described in this section that are financed with the proceeds of the board’s bonds, notes, or bond anticipation notes issued in accordance with this section.(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 728, Sec. 56.
