(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.
