THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 242. (1) This section applies to a project authorized
pursuant to an appropriation act.
(2) State agencies, community colleges, and universities shall
develop 5-year capital outlay requests, which shall include the
need for remodeling and renovations. For community colleges and
universities, the 5-year capital outlay requests shall also include
the need for special maintenance. These requests shall be submitted
annually to the department and to the JCOS.
(3) The department and the JCOS shall review capital outlay
requests. The department shall prioritize requests and shall
include the recommended requests in the annual executive budget
recommendation.
(4) Each recommended request included in the executive budget
shall include sufficient state funds for state agency projects and
institution funds for college and university projects to provide
for professionally developed program statements and schematic
plans. The request for program development and schematic planning
must be approved by the JCOS and the legislature through the
appropriation process.
(5) Program statements and schematic planning documents shall
be reviewed by the department and, when the review is completed,
shall be submitted to the JCOS as either approved or not approved.
(6) Upon review and approval by the JCOS, the JCOS and the
legislature may authorize the project for final design and
construction with a line-item appropriation in an appropriation
bill.
(7) Preliminary plans shall be submitted to the department for
review and approval. The department shall review and approve final
plans to be prepared for bidding. Bid results shall be submitted to
the JCOS.
(8) The department shall provide for review and oversight of
capital outlay projects financed either in total or in part by the
state building authority pursuant to the provisions of sections 237
and 237a.
(9) Appropriations made for studies and initial plans shall
not be considered a commitment on the part of the legislature to
appropriate funds for the completion of plans or construction of
any project based on the studies or planning documents.
(10) Beginning October 1, 2007, a state agency, a community
college, or a university requesting funding for a project from the
JCOS, in addition to any other requirement under this section or by
law, shall specifically state, if applicable, what energy
efficiency initiatives will be implemented in the project and
provide projected cost savings of those energy efficiency
initiatives, if known. If sufficient funds are not available to
fund all projects submitted, preference shall be given to those
projects with the highest overall energy efficiency savings as
determined by JCOS and the department working together.
