Okla. Stat. tit. 10A, § 10A-2-7-619: Public/private partnership - Authority to sell OJA

campus property.

If the best-value option for the state is to enter into an

agreement with the Commissioners of the Land Office (CLO) and a

public/private partnership for the development of the designated

campus then the Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA) is authorized to

sell a to-be-determined amount of property on the OJA campus of the

Central Oklahoma Juvenile Center to the CLO. The amount of property

to be transferred will be determined by the footprint of the

proposed construction/refurbishment. In exchange for the property,

OJA will receive from the CLO fair market value for the land. The

CLO, on behalf of OJA, will negotiate a public/private partnership

for the construction of juvenile justice assets. The CLO will

develop a Request For Proposal (RFP) to select a private development

company to construct the necessary facilities for the operation of a

juvenile justice secure care facility. OMES will negotiate on

behalf of OJA the necessary lease and sublease terms for the

continued operation of the facility for up to twenty-five (25)

years. It is the intent of the Legislature to make appropriations

as required in order for the Office of Juvenile Affairs to make

required lease and sublease payments related to real property or

improvements or both, as provided by this act.
