     136F.36 Technical college carpentry program construction 
  authority. 

    Subdivision 1.    Authority to acquire, develop, and sell 
 real property for instructional purposes.  For the purpose of 
 instructional construction by technical colleges, the board may 
 purchase or otherwise acquire real property that it does not 
 intend to use as a permanent educational site.  The board may, 
 upon the terms and conditions it sets, develop and sell real 
 property acquired under this section.  Sale shall be for fair 
 market value.  Where real property acquired under this section 
 cannot be sold for fair market value, the board may lease the 
 real property under the terms and conditions it sets.  The board 
 may also contract for the use of real property it does not own.  
 Where the board makes improvements to real property it does not 
 own, the landowner shall compensate the board for the fair 
 market value of the board's contribution to the improvements.  
 No other authorizing legislation or legislative approval is 
 required for an acquisition, improvement, or sale under this 
 section.  Proceeds from the sale, lease, or improvement of real 
 property under this section are appropriated to the board. 

    Subd. 2.    Exemptions.  The sale requirements of 
 chapters 92 and 94 do not apply to this section.  The board 
 shall develop policies for leasing requirements and construction 
 supervision.  The board will normally competitively bid 
 contracts related to instructional construction but may 
 negotiate contracts without competitive bidding where it deems 
 appropriate. 

    Subd. 3.    Warranties.  The board may, in its 
 discretion, offer the warranties contained in chapter 327A. 

    Subd. 4.    Storage and retention of documents.  
 Notwithstanding section 16A.58, the board may store and retain 
 at the respective technical college original documents from 
 carpentry program transactions, including but not limited to 
 deeds, abstracts of title, and certificates of title.
