(a)
The Department of General Services shall, by July 1, 2015, complete a long-range planning study of the state-controlled and owned office buildings in the County of Sacramento and the City of West Sacramento, including the Board of Equalization’s headquarters, for the management of the state’s space needs in the Sacramento region.(b)
The planning study shall contain, but is not limited to, the following:(1)
Evaluation of the overall state facility needs in the Sacramento region, including the capacity of currently owned and leased space.(2)
Evaluation of each building including, but not limited to, condition, age, building use, and the extent that it meets the business needs and location of the state entity occupying the space.(3)
The impact the building’s age and design has on potential reconfiguration and consolidation for state needs.(4)
The viability of antiquated building infrastructure systems, including the present and probable future availability of replacement parts for the systems in the buildings.(5)
Evaluation of office buildings in need of major repairs or renovations to correct deficiencies, including estimated costs for fire and life safety, accessibility, seismic safety, and other building code compliance issues, and known existence of encapsulated hazardous materials and lead-based paint.(6)
Other considerations deemed appropriate by the Department of General Services, in consultation with the state entity occupying the building, may be included.(7)
The development of a logical sequencing plan for renovation, replacement, or both, of existing state office buildings and new office development in the Sacramento region to guide the state over the next 25 years.(c)
The findings in this long-range planning study shall be used as the basis for recommendations and developing detailed cost and scope information to be considered in future budget proposals.(d)
Beginning with the three buildings with the most significant and immediate renovation or replacement needs, including highest cost of total maintenance and repair to usable space, and other related costs identified in the long-range planning study, the Director of General Services shall issue one or more requests for proposals for the planning, design, construction, and acquisition of facilities that have been recommended by the Legislature based on the planning study completed under this section. The Director of General Services shall issue the requests for proposals within 12 months of the Legislature making the recommendation described in this subdivision.
