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.
