Statute text

(a)The Director of General Services may purchase, exchange, or otherwise acquire real property and construct facilities, including any improvements, betterments, and related facilities, in the County of Sacramento, along the Highway 50 corridor in close proximity or contiguous to the Phase I and II sites of the Franchise Tax Board facilities, and may retrofit the existing Phase I and II buildings and infrastructure, for the purpose of acquiring and constructing approximately 1,000,000 square feet of office and warehouse space for use by state agencies. The site shall be within a reasonable distance of an existing or planned light rail station. The acquisition of property shall be pursuant to the Property Acquisition Law (Part 11 (commencing with Section 15850)). In no event shall the Department of General Services pay more than fair market value for the sites. The award of construction contracts shall be to the lowest responsible bidder. The Department of General Services shall determine which agencies will occupy these facilities after consulting with senior administrative staff of the affected agencies and based on which agencies can make the most cost-effective use of the facilities consistent with the programmatic needs of the agencies.

(b)The Department of General Services may contract for the design, construction, construction management, and other services related to the design and construction of the office, warehouse, infrastructure, and parking facilities authorized to be acquired pursuant to subdivision (a). The Department of General Services shall prepare preliminary plans before entering into a construction contract for the project.

(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 of Title 2 to finance the acquisition of land and facilities for the purposes of this section. The State Public Works Board and the Department of General Services 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 Department of General Services shall commit a sufficient amount of its support appropriation 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. In the event the bonds authorized by the project are not sold, it is the intent of the Legislature to appropriate sufficient funds from the General Fund to the Department of General Services specifically to repay any loans made for the project from the Pooled Money Investment Account.
