14015
. (a) The Director of General Services, as agent for the
Department of Transportation, may enter into an agreement to
purchase, lease-purchase, or lease with an option to purchase real
property in the San Francisco Bay area for the purpose of financing,
refinancing, and acquiring office and parking facilities, and any
other improvements, betterments, and facilities related thereto in
order to allow full occupancy by August 30, 1993. The total purchase
price, excluding financing costs, shall not exceed one hundred
million dollars ($100,000,000) plus all costs of financing,
including, but not limited to, interest during acquisition or
construction of these facilities, interest payable on any interim
loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account pursuant to Section
16312 or 16313, a reasonably required reserve fund, and the costs of
issuance of interim financing or permanent financing after completion
of the construction or acquisition of these facilities. In selecting
a site or sites for office space and parking facilities, the
department shall give consideration to sites located in the East Bay
region, including the City of Oakland. Criteria used in the
evaluation of prospective sites shall include an economic evaluation
of locating in a new or existing state office building in the East
Bay region.
(b) The total cost of financing the net cost of acquiring the
building and facilities described in subdivision (a), including the
costs of modifications and operation, shall not exceed the total
avoided costs of leasing and occupying those buildings and facilities
currently occupied by the Department of Transportation which will no
longer be occupied once the building and facilities described in
subdivision (a) are occupied. "Net cost" means the cost of acquiring
the building and facilities described in subdivision (a), including
financing costs, less the amount realized from the disposition of the
existing office building. "Avoided costs" mean those costs the
Department of Transportation would have incurred if it continued to
occupy the buildings and facilities which would no longer be occupied
as a result of the acquistion of the building and facilities
described in subdivision (a). In order to ensure that the
requirements of this subdivision are met, the Department of
Transportation shall provide the Joint Legislative Budget Committee
with a report concerning the cost-effectiveness required by this
section at least 30 days prior to entering into any purchase
agreement.
(c) Pursuant to Section 5702, the Treasurer is hereby authorized
to sell certificates of participation, lease revenue bonds, or any
other approved form of obligations in connection with the financing,
refinancing, and acquisition described in subdivision (a).
(d) The Department of Transportation shall take all necessary
actions to ensure that its annual budget includes all payments which
may be necessary to satisfy the obligation for the office facilities
purchased pursuant to subdivision (a).
(e) Following the acquisition and occupation of the building and
facilities described in subdivision (a), the Department of
Transportation shall sell the office building at 150 Oak Street in
San Francisco. The net proceeds of that sale shall be applied toward
any obligations undertaken by the Director of General Services
pursuant to subdivision (a).
(f) If the new offices of the Department of Transportation are to
be located in a new state office building, the Director of General
Services may sell the existing state office building located at 1111
Jackson Street in the City of Oakland and the Department of General
Services shall commence preliminary planning for the construction of
the new state office building in the East Bay region.
(g) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the office and parking
facilities acquired by the Department of General Services pursuant to
subdivision (a) shall be and remain under the jurisdiction and
control of, and shall be operated and maintained by, the Department
of Transportation. Construction or acquisition of any office and
parking facilities utilizing the financing methods authorized by
subdivision (a) shall be done by the Department of General Services
as agent of the Department of Transportation. The Department of
General Services, in consultation with the Department of
Transportation, may contract with a construction manager and others
for construction and other services related to the construction of
the office and parking facilities financed pursuant to subdivision
(a).
