HB 735 -- Management of State Buildings

Sponsor:  Cooper (158)

This bill changes the laws regarding the requirements for
designing, constructing, and managing state buildings.

The Second State Capitol Commission is allowed to control
copyrights and trademarks for any photograph, written work, art
object, or any product created of the Capitol or Capitol grounds
by granting access or use of the work.  Any money received must
be directed to the Capitol Commission Fund to be used for
repairs, refurbishment, or creation of decorations or adornments
for the Capitol or its grounds.  The bill renames the Division of
Facilities Management to the Division of Facilities Management,
Design, and Construction and expands its responsibilities to
include the supervision of any design, construction, renovation,
or repair of state facilities.  An open bidding process will be
used for all projects in excess of $100,000.  For projects
costing between $25,000 and $100,000, a minimum of three
contractors must be solicited with the contract awarded to the
lowest, responsive, responsible bidder.  The commission is
authorized to award multiple projects to a single firm if it is
in the best interest of the state.
