(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, except for Section 8878.90, if a local government determines, and the State Architect concurs, that because of the age, material used in construction, potential for ground failure in an earthquake, or the type of construction or the design of the structure that it would be more cost-effective to replace or relocate rather than rehabilitate the potentially eligible essential services facility or emergency or public safety local building, an allocation of up to that amount determined to be necessary for the seismic retrofit of the original structure, but not to exceed the actual cost of replacement and relocation, may be applied to the construction of the replacement facility under the following conditions:
(1) The essential services contained in the original facility shall be relocated to the replacement facility.
(2) If a new facility is constructed, the original facility shall not be eligible for additional funding under this program.
(3) If the original essential services facility or emergency or public safety local building is designated as an historic building as defined in Section 18955 of the Health and Safety Code, the State Architect shall consult with the Office of Historic Preservation before agreeing to any proposal to demolish the facility.

The office, the State Architect, and the applicant may agree to include these capital improvements in the grant.
(b) In coordination with the Seismic Safety Commission and the office, and with the input of the potentially eligible local governments, the State Architect, consistent with Section 8878.90, shall establish a priority list of the types of potentially eligible local government buildings and facilities which are eligible to receive a state grant pursuant to this article.
(c) After completion of the priority list, the State Architect shall present this list of potentially eligible local government buildings and facilities to the Department of Finance for its review and consideration of whether to recommend to the Governor to include this list in the Budget Bill or other legislative proposal. The Legislature may review and appropriate funds available under this bond act for specific projects on the list which it deems appropriate.
(d) The State Architect shall allocate funds to local governments for the seismic retrofit of buildings or facilities based upon projects and appropriations approved in the Budget Bill or some other bill by the Legislature as provided in this section. Payments shall be made on a progress basis.

(c) If the project involves an essential services building, no allocation of funds may be made unless the State Architect finds that the project or the project plan is consistent with the Essential Services Building Seismic Safety Act of 1986 (Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 16000) of Division 12.5 of the Health and Safety Code).
