     Section 5.  Planning and design. The department of administration may proceed with the planning and design of capital projects prior to the receipt of other funding sources. The department may use interentity loans in accordance with 17-2-107 to pay planning and design costs incurred before the receipt of funding from another funding source.

 

     Section 6.  Capital projects -- contingent funds. If a capital project is financed in whole or in part with appropriations contingent upon the receipt of funding from another funding source, the department of administration may not let the project for bid until the agency has submitted a financial plan for approval by the director of the department of administration. A financial plan may not be approved by the director if:

     (1)  the level of funding provided under the financial plan deviates substantially from the funding level provided in [section 2] for that project; or

     (2)  the scope of the project is substantially altered or revised from the preliminary plans presented for that project in the 2015 biennium long-range building program presented to the 63rd legislature.

 

     Section 7.  Review by department of environmental quality. The department of environmental quality shall review capital projects authorized in [section 2] for potential inclusion in the state building energy conservation program under Title 90, chapter 4, part 6. When a review shows that a capital project will result in energy improvements, that project must be submitted to the energy conservation program for funding consideration. Funding provided under the energy conservation program guidelines must be used to offset or add to the authorized funding for the project, and the amount will be dependent on the annual utility savings resulting from the facility improvement. Agencies must be notified of potential funding after the review.

 

     Section 8.  Conditions of projects. The legislature authorizes construction of the Butte-Silver Bow emergency operations center, to be occupied and operated by the consolidated government of Butte-Silver Bow in conjunction with the Butte justice center, if a long-term lease agreement is signed between the state of Montana and the consolidated government of Butte-Silver Bow ensuring payment of all operating and maintenance costs of the consolidated government of Butte-Silver Bow for its portion of the facility for the life of the building, until the term of the lease is altered, or until the building is sold.

     Section 10.  Legislative consent. The appropriations authorized in [sections 1 through 9] constitute legislative consent for the capital projects contained in [sections 1 through 9] within the meaning of 18-2-102.

 

     Section 11.  Severability. If a part of [this act] is invalid, all valid parts that are severable from the invalid part remain in effect.
