[STANDARDS.] Article XI, section 5, clause (a), 44.1 of the constitution states general obligation bonds may be 44.2 issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of state 44.3 land, buildings, and improvements of a capital nature. In 44.4 interpreting this and applying it to the purposes of the program 44.5 contemplated in this section, the following standards are 44.6 adopted for the disbursement of money from the capital asset 44.7 preservation and replacement account: 44.8 (a) No new land, buildings, or major new improvements will 44.9 be acquired. These projects, including all capital expenditures 44.10 required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose 44.11 on completion, will be estimated and provided for individually 44.12 through a direct appropriation for each project. 44.13 (b) An expenditure will be made from the account only when 44.14 it is a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned 44.15 by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 44.16 principles as applied to public expenditures. The commissioner 44.17 of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance 44.18 to the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the 44.19 commissioner of finance a list of projects to be financed from 44.20 the account in order of their priority. The commissioner shall 44.21 also furnish each revision of the list. The legislature assumes 44.22 that many provisions for preservation and replacement of 44.23 portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments 44.24 and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution 44.25 and capital expenditures under correct accounting principles, 44.26 and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the 44.27 program than by direct appropriations for specific projects. 44.28 However, the purpose of the program is to accumulate data 44.29 showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money 44.30 from the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity 44.31 of which is predictable over short periods. 44.32 (c) The commissioner of administration will furnish 44.33 instructions to agencies to apply for funding of capital 44.34 expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, 44.35 will review applications, will make initial allocations among 44.36 types of eligible projects enumerated below, will determine 45.1 priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the 45.2 available appropriation has been committed. 45.3 (d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most 45.4 needed and appropriate for financing are the following: 45.5 (1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a 45.6 relatively small amount should be initially reserved, replaced 45.7 from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 45.8 emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than 45.9 replacement if the cost would exhaust the account and should be 45.10 specially appropriated; 45.11 (2) projects to remove life safety hazards, like 45.12 replacement of mechanical systems, building code violations, or 45.13 structural defects, at costs not large enough to require major 45.14 capital requests to the legislature; 45.15 (3) elimination or containment of hazardous substances like 45.16 asbestos or PCBs;and45.17 (4) moderate cost replacement and repair of roofs, windows, 45.18 tuckpointing, and structural members necessary to preserve the 45.19 exterior and interior of existing buildings; and 45.20 (5) up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under 45.21 this section may be used for design costs for projects eligible 45.22 to be funded from this account in anticipation of future funding 45.23 from the account. 45.24 Sec. 35. Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.86, 45.25 subdivision 3, is amended to read: 45.26 Subd. 3. [EVALUATION.] (a) The commissioner shall evaluate 45.27 all requests from political subdivisions for state assistance 45.28 based on the following criteria: 45.29 (1) the political subdivision has provided for local, 45.30 private, and user financing for the project to the maximum 45.31 extent possible; 45.32 (2) the project helps fulfill an important state mission; 45.33 (3) the project is of regional or statewide significance; 45.34 (4) the project will not require new or any additional 45.35 state operating subsidies; 45.36 (5) the project will not expand the state's role in a new 46.1 policy area; 46.2 (6) state funding for the project will not create 46.3 significant inequities among local jurisdictions; 46.4 (7) the project will not compete with other facilities in 46.5 such a manner that they lose a significant number of users to 46.6 the new project;and46.7 (8) the governing bodies of those political subdivisions 46.8 primarily benefiting from the project have passed resolutions in 46.9 support of the project and have established priorities for all 46.10 projects within their jurisdictions for which bonding 46.11 appropriations are requested when submitting multiple requests; 46.12 and 46.13 (9) if a predesign that meets the requirements of section 46.14 16B.335 has been completed and is available at the time the 46.15 project request is submitted to the commissioner of finance, the 46.16 applicant has submitted the project predesign to the 46.17 commissioner of administration. 46.18 (b) The commissioner's evaluation of each request, 46.19 including whether it meets each of the criteria in paragraph 46.20 (a), must be submitted to the legislature along with the 46.21 governor's recommendations under section 16A.11, subdivision 1, 46.22 whether or not the governor recommends that the request be 46.23 funded. 46.24 Sec. 36.

The board or commissioner may require 56.20 clarifications from design-builders. 56.21 (b) If the project is within the capitol area, the capitol 56.22 area architecture and planning board, as defined in section 56.23 15.50, shall participate in the evaluation of phase-one 56.24 submittals. 56.25 (c) The board shall select to a short list the most 56.26 qualified design-builders that have responded with phase-one 56.27 submittals based on the weighted criteria for phase-one 56.28 evaluations stated in the request for proposals. For projects 56.29 involving only renovation, in the discretion of the 56.30 commissioner, the design-builder may be selected only on the 56.31 phase-one submissions, or after a phase-two submission. For all 56.32 other projects, the board shall prepare a list of at least three 56.33 potential design-builders to submit phase-two proposals. The 56.34 board shall not proceed to obtain phase-two proposals or make a 56.35 selection, as applicable, unless it receives phase-one 56.36 submittals from at least three qualified design-builders. If 57.1 the board receives fewer than three phase-one submittals from 57.2 qualified design-builders, the commissioner may cancel the 57.3 solicitation for proposals, revise the request for proposals, 57.4 and solicit new proposals or request the board to select a 57.5 designer under section 16B.33 and proceed with the 57.6 design-bid-build delivery method. 57.7 (d) The commissioner shall enter into the professional and 57.8 technical services contract included in the request for 57.9 proposals with each of the design-builders qualified by the 57.10 board to submit phase-two proposals. 57.11 Subd. 7.

Persons so identified may not be 57.35 replaced without the approval of the commissioner, or the award 57.36 may be revoked. 58.1 (d) The design-builder must submit a written statement that 58.2 the phase-two proposal meets all requirements of the request for 58.3 proposals. 58.4 (e) The commissioner may require each design-builder to 58.5 submit with its phase-one or phase-two proposal, as applicable, 58.6 a cash deposit or bid bond in the amount of five percent of the 58.7 budget for the design-build contract. If the phase-one or 58.8 phase-two proposal, as applicable, is accepted but the 58.9 design-builder fails to execute the design-build contract, the 58.10 deposit or bond is forfeited to the extent allowable under law, 58.11 including the cost to the state of delays, resolicitation, and 58.12 other results of the failure of the selected design-builder to 58.13 enter into the design-build contract. 58.14 Subd. 8. [STIPULATED FEE.] The commissioner may award a 58.15 stipulated fee not less than two-tenths of one percent of the 58.16 department's estimated cost of design and construction to each 58.17 short-listed, responsible proposer who provides a responsive but 58.18 unsuccessful proposal. If the commissioner does not award a 58.19 contract, all short-listed proposers may receive the stipulated 58.20 fee. If the commissioner cancels the contract before reviewing 58.21 the technical proposals, the commissioner may award each 58.22 design-builder on the short list a stipulated fee of not less 58.23 than two-tenths of one percent of the commissioner's estimated 58.24 cost of design and construction. The commissioner shall pay the 58.25 stipulated fee, if any, to each proposer within 90 days after 58.26 the award of the contract or the decision not to award a 58.27 contract. In consideration for paying the stipulated fee, the 58.28 commissioner may use any ideas or information contained in the 58.29 proposals in connection with any contract awarded for the 58.30 project or in connection with a subsequent procurement, without 58.31 any obligation to pay any additional compensation to the 58.32 unsuccessful proposers. Notwithstanding the other provisions of 58.33 this subdivision, an unsuccessful short-list proposer may elect 58.34 to waive the stipulated fee. If an unsuccessful short-list 58.35 proposer elects to waive the stipulated fee, the commissioner 58.36 may not use ideas and information contained in that proposer's 59.1 proposal. Upon the request of the commissioner, a proposer who 59.2 waived a stipulated fee may withdraw the waiver, in which case 59.3 the commissioner shall pay the stipulated fee, if any, to the 59.4 proposer and thereafter may use ideas and information in the 59.5 proposer's proposal. 59.6 Subd. 9. [DESIGN-BUILDER SELECTION.] (a) After obtaining 59.7 and evaluating proposals from each design-builder according to 59.8 the criteria and procedures in the request for proposals, the 59.9 board shall rank the phase-one or phase-two proposals, as 59.10 applicable, and select the proposal that is rated the highest 59.11 based on the weighted evaluation criteria in the request for 59.12 proposal. The board or commissioner may require clarifications 59.13 from design-builders during the evaluation process. Selection 59.14 according to this method may result in an award not being made 59.15 to the lowest cost proposal. 59.16 (b) If the project is within the capitol area, the capitol 59.17 area architectural and planning board shall participate in the 59.18 evaluation of phase-two proposals. 59.19 Subd. 10. [AWARD OF DESIGN-BUILD CONTRACT.] If the 59.20 commissioner decides not to reject all proposals, the 59.21 commissioner shall award and enter into the design-build 59.22 contract with the design-builder that submitted the phase-one or 59.23 phase-two proposal, as applicable, rated highest based on the 59.24 weighted evaluation criteria as evaluated under the request for 59.25 qualifications or request for proposals as applicable. 59.26 Subd. 11.
