(b) The plan of funding CSUS 2020 shall be from the proceeds of general obligation bonds of the state in an amount authorized pursuant to subsection (a) of section
10a-91e. The proceeds of the general obligation bonds issued pursuant to section 10a-91e shall be deposited into the CSUS 2020 Fund.
(c) With respect to CSUS 2020 and within the authorized funding amount, the
board of trustees may, from time to time, and shall, whenever appropriate or necessary,
revise, delete or add a particular project or projects, provided (1) a formal approving
vote of the board of trustees shall be needed for (A) a revision that deviates from
the estimated costs of projects pursuant to subsection (a) of this section in an amount
that is less than (i) ten per cent of such costs for a project with an estimated cost of
one million dollars or lower, or (ii) five per cent of such costs for a project with an
estimated cost of more than one million dollars, provided such change in the costs
does not include changes in the costs of materials, (B) a deletion, or (C) an addition
dictated by a change in system planning as determined by the board of trustees or
otherwise necessary because of reasons beyond the control of the system, (2) any
revision shall be subject only to such formal approval of the board of trustees as long
as the board of trustees finds and determines that such revision is consistent with the
intent or purpose of the original project, and (3) (A) a revision that deviates from
the estimated costs of projects pursuant to subsection (a) of this section in an amount
that is equal to or greater than (i) ten per cent of such costs for a project with an
estimated cost of one million dollars or lower, or (ii) five per cent of such costs for
a project with an estimated cost of more than one million dollars, provided such
change in the costs does not include changes in the costs of materials, (B) an addition,
or (C) a deletion shall be conditioned not only upon such formal approval of the
board of trustees but also upon a request by the board of trustees for, and enactment
of, a subsequent public or special act approving such addition or deletion, if such
addition is to add a project not outlined in subsection (a) of this section or the deletion
is the deletion of a project outlined in subsection (a) of this section. Furthermore,
with respect to CSUS 2020 and subject to the limitations in the authorized funding
amount, the board of trustees may determine the sequencing and timing of such
project or projects, revise estimates of cost and reallocate from any amounts estimated
in subsection (a) of this section, for one or more projects to one or more other
projects then constituting a component of CSUS 2020 as long as, at the time of such
reallocation, it has found that any such project to which a reallocation is made has
been revised or added in accordance with this section and such project from which
a reallocation is made either has been so revised or added and can be completed
within the amounts remaining allocated to it, or has been so deleted. The board of
trustees' actions under this section shall be included in reports to the Governor and
the General Assembly under section 10a-91f. If the board of trustees requests a
revision, addition or deletion pursuant to subdivision (3) of this subsection, the board
of trustees shall submit such request to the Governor at the same time that the request
is submitted to the General Assembly.
(d) (1) In accordance with the provisions of chapters 59 and 60, the Commissioner
of Public Works shall be responsible for the duties as specified in said provisions,
and, on a quarterly basis, the commissioner shall provide the chancellor of the system
with information needed for compliance with sections 10a-91a to 10a-91h, inclusive,
including, but not limited to, costs, timeliness of completion of projects and any
issues that have developed in implementation of any project under the commissioner's
jurisdiction.
(2) Not later than January 1, 2009, and annually thereafter, the Commissioner of
Public Works shall, in accordance with section 11-4a, report to the Governor and the
General Assembly on any (A) construction management services costs, (B) administrative services costs, and (C) costs of fees associated with CSUS 2020.
(e) The Commissioner of Public Safety and the chancellor of the system shall
enter into and maintain a memorandum of understanding that shall provide for the
assignment of personnel from the Department of Public Safety to ensure that buildings
or projects that are part of the CSUS 2020 program are designed and constructed in
compliance with the Fire Safety Code and the State Building Code with respect to
buildings or building projects that (1) are part of CSUS 2020, as authorized by sections
10a-91a to 10a-91h, inclusive, (2) do not meet the threshold limits, as defined in
section 29-276b, and (3) construction of which is initiated during the period of time
in which the memorandum is in effect.
(f) The board of trustees shall request, in writing, approval from the Department
of Public Works for any acquisition or purchase of equipment, furniture or personal
property using funds provided pursuant to sections 10a-91a to 10a-91h, inclusive.
Such purchases or acquisitions shall require specific approval by the Commissioner
of Public Works, or shall be deemed approved not later than thirty days after such
request for approval, if the commissioner has not rejected the request.
