The Director of General Services may enter into one or more agreements to acquire, construct, purchase, lease, lease-purchase, lease-purchase finance, or lease with an option to purchase, with an initial option purchase price that exceeds two million dollars ($2,000,000), for the purpose of providing approximately 226,100 net usable square feet of office and related space and 136,000 net usable square feet of parking in a suburban location in the San Diego region.
(2)
In connection with the selection and acquisition of a lease, lease-purchase, lease-purchase finance, or lease with an option to purchase, which shall be collectively referred to for purposes of this section as a “lease” or “leases,” the department shall advertise and award the lease or leases in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 14669 to the lowest responsible bidder offering to provide a building that meets the state’s requirements.

(1)
The State Public Works Board may issue revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes pursuant to the State Building Construction Act of 1955 (Part 10b (commencing with Section 15800) of Division 3) to finance the acquisition of the facilities authorized in subdivision (a). The board may borrow funds for project costs from the Pooled Money Investment Account pursuant to Sections 16312 and
16313. In the event the bonds authorized for the projects are not sold, the Department of General Services shall adjust the Building Rental Account of the Service Revolving Fund by an amount sufficient to repay any loans made by the Pooled Money Investment Account. It is the intent of the Legislature that this commitment be included in future Budget Acts until outstanding loans from the Pooled Money Investment Account are repaid either through the sale of bonds or from an appropriation.
(2)
The amount of revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes to be sold shall equal the cost of acquisition, including land, construction, furnishings and equipment, preliminary plans and working drawings, construction management and supervision, and other costs relating to the design and construction of the facilities, exercising any purchase option, and any additional sums necessary to pay interim and permanent financing costs and
costs to issue these bonds. The additional amount may include interest and a reasonable required reserve fund.
(3)
Authorized costs of the facilities, including land acquisition, preliminary plans, working drawings, and construction shall not exceed forty-five million dollars ($45,000,000) for the suburban facility.
(4)
Notwithstanding Section 13332.11, the State Public Works Board may authorize the augmentation of the amount authorized pursuant to this subdivision by up to 10 percent of the amount specifically authorized.
(c)
Notwithstanding Section 13340, funds derived from the interim and permanent financing or refinancing of the facilities specified in this section are hereby continuously appropriated without regard to fiscal years for these purposes.
(d)
The net present value of the cost to acquire and operate the facilities authorized in subdivision (a) may not exceed the net present value of the cost to lease and operate an equivalent amount of office space, including the present facilities, over the same time period. The Department of General Services, in performing this analysis, shall obtain interest rates, discount rates, and the consumer price index figures from the Treasurer.
(e)
The director shall not enter into any agreement to acquire facilities, as specified in subdivision (a), any sooner than 45 days after notification, including the information specified in subdivision (d), to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Joint Legislative Budget Committee hold a hearing on the pending agreement.
