Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-7-618: Construction strategy for campus modifications -

Best-value option.

A. It is the intent of the State of Oklahoma for the Office of

Juvenile Affairs (OJA) to plan, develop, redevelop and occupy campus

modifications to serve Oklahoma youth in need of secure care and

specialty residential services. In furtherance of this intent, OJA

shall plan and execute a construction strategy through a best-value

analysis of two financing sources. The Office of Management and

Enterprise Services (OMES) and the Commissioners of the Land Office

(CLO) are authorized to assist OJA in assessing the best option and

proceeding with necessary steps. OJA is authorized to pursue one of

these two options based upon the input from the OJA governing board,

OMES and the CLO.

B. The option that is determined to be best value for the State

of Oklahoma pursuant to subsection C of this section will be

selected and the authorization for the other financing strategy

shall not be operative.

C. Not later than March 31, 2018, or one hundred eighty (180)

days from such date if the provisions of this act become effective

as law later than July 1, 2017, pursuant to recommendations for the

best-value option agreed upon by a majority vote of the governing

board of OJA, a majority vote of the Commissioners of the Land

Office and the agreement of the Director of the Office of Management

and Enterprise Services, a memorandum reflecting the decision of the

participating agencies shall be transmitted to the Governor, the

Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives and the President

Pro Tempore of the Oklahoma State Senate. If the best-value option

selected is for the issuance of obligations by the Oklahoma Capitol

Improvement Authority pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 of

this act, a copy of the signed and executed memorandum shall be

transmitted to the members of the governing board of the Oklahoma

Capitol Improvement Authority. If the best-value option selected

does not require the issuance of obligations by the Oklahoma Capitol

Improvement Authority, the provisions of Section 4 of this act shall

not be operative and the Oklahoma Capitol Improvement Authority

shall not have the power or legal authority to issue any obligations

pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 of this act.
