62nd WYOMING LEGISLATURE
PROPOSED INTERIM COMMITTEE STUDIES
2014 INTERIM
CAPITOL BUILDING RESTORATION OVERSIGHT GROUP
1. The level III design shall
allocate space within the capitol building to meet legislative needs, needs of
the governor's office and security needs in the capitol building as determined
by the oversight group and the governor. In determining space allocations under
this subsection the oversight group and the governor shall be guided by level
II studies for the capitol building restoration and rehabilitation conducted in
2013. To the extent the oversight group and the governor determine that all
such needs cannot be accommodated within the capitol building, legislative
committee rooms and offices for committee chairmen and associated legislative
session staff may be within the structure connecting the capitol building and Herschler state office building. If the governor and the
oversight group determine that space will exist in the capitol building in
excess of the needs of the legislature, the governor's office and capitol
building security needs, then the department, in consultation with the advisory
task force, shall provide one (1) or more design alternatives to the oversight
group and governor for review and approval, allocating available remaining
space to the statewide elected officials with offices within the capitol
building as of April 1, 2014.
2. The Herschler
state office building rehabilitation, renovation and addition shall be designed
to accommodate offices for elected state officials for which
insufficient space is provided within the capitol building restoration,
renovation and rehabilitation design.
3. The department, in consultation
with the advisory task force, shall provide alternatives for temporary location
of elected officials and legislative functions during project construction. The
alternatives shall be submitted to the governor and the oversight group for
review and approval.
4. No funds shall be expended for
the purposes of construction until final design plans for the project have been
submitted to the advisory task force for review and comment and to the governor
and the oversight group for review and a majority of the legislative members of
the oversight group has recommended approval and the governor has approved the
plans.
5. The department may expend funds
appropriated by the legislature for the project to implement the design,
renovation, restoration, rehabilitation, construction and other project
components which have been included in the final design plans approved under
subsection (e) of this section. Any change order to the approved final design
plans in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) or in a
cumulative amount in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) shall
require the approval of a majority of the legislative members of the oversight
group and the governor.
