JUDICIAL 1
Section 15. Court Facilities Improvement Working Group. Recognizing that there are critical unmet court 2
space needs statewide, including addressing operational deficiencies of the Family Court facilities in Sussex and Kent 3
Counties, and other downstate court facilities, as identified in the Southern Court Facilities Space Study (October 31, 4
2006), a court facilities improvement working group shall be established, consisting of representatives from the Judicial 5
Branch, the Office of the Governor, the Office of Management and Budget, including Facilities Management, and the 6
Office of the Controller General, to develop a plan for implementing flexible, cost -effective and potentially innovative 7
solutions to these and other court facility space issues. The working group shall engage with the Delaware State Bar 8
Association to obtain input from practitioners who practice in the affected courts regarding the best manner to ensure that 9
litigants have access to high-quality, dignified, and safe courthouses within reasonable proximity to their residences, and 10
what combination of courthouses will accomplish that goal in the manner most cost -effective to taxpayers in the long 11
term. For the same reason, the working group will obtain input from other state agencies that provide services related to 12
litigants in the affected courts, to consider whether the co-location of offices would be helpful to those receiving services 13
and be more efficient for state taxpayers in the long term. 14
Section 16. Kent and Sussex County Judicial Court Facilities. Of the total funds appropriated for the new 15
Kent and Sussex Family Court Facilities, any residual funds from these appropriations may be used for the renovations of 16

Section 22. Design-Build Contracts. The Office of Management and Budget is hereby authorized to utilize or 10
approve the design-build contract mechanism for up to twelve construction projects that are deemed necessary by the 11
Director for the efficient construction and improvement of state facilities. Design-build is a project delivery method under 12

architectural/engineering services and construction. The selection processes and other terms of such contracts may vary 14
considerably from project to project. The design-build entity may be a single firm, a consortium, joint venture, or other 15
organization. However, the fundamental element of design-build delivery remains that one entity assumes primary 16
responsibility for design and construction of the project. The Office of Management and Budget is authorized to use this 17
approach in completing its projects, subject to the following conditions: 18

Student Rate” in lieu of a Prevailing Wage rate on the pilot project. This Student Rate is applicable to this pilot project 4
only. 5
For projects that are part of the DBE pilot program, the contract award will be based on a form of best value, for 6
which, 29 Del. C. § 6962 (d)(13)a.4. is waived. The agency will establish a best value process, which may include the 7
price, schedule, and method of complying with the specific requirements of the pilot project whether it is for DBE. All 8
bids are subject to an evaluation for responsiveness and responsibility. 9
To assist the agency in evaluating the success of these pilot programs, the agency shall establish reporting 10

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE 1
Section 63. Bond Proceeds Reimbursement. Unless not permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as 2
amended (the Code), whenever the General Assembly authorizes the issuance of the State’s General Obligation bonds or 3
the Delaware Transportation Authority’s (the Authority) revenue bonds to finance the costs of specific capital projects, it 4
is the intent of the General Assembly that the interest on such bonds shall not be included in gross income for federal 5
income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code, and the United States Treasury Regulations (the Regulations) 6
thereunder as they may be promulgated from time to time, or shall be qualified as Build America Bonds pursuant to the 7
Code and the Regulations. Pursuant to the State's budget and financial policies, other than unexpected situations where 8
surplus revenues render bond financing unnecessary or undesirable, no funds other than the proceeds of such bonds, are or 9
are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside by the State to pay the costs 10
of such specific capital projects. Pursuant to the Authority’s budget and financial policies, it is expected that 11

General Fund or the Authority’s Transportation Trust Fund or other funds may be advanced on a temporary basis to pay a 14
portion of the costs of such specific capital projects. In that event, it is expected that these non- bond funds will be 15
reimbursed from the proceeds of such bonds when they are issued. This reimbursement may cause a portion of such 16
bonds to become reimbursement bonds within the meaning of Section 1.150- 2 of the Regulations. Under those 17
Regulations, to preserve the exclusion of the interest on such bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes, it 18
may be necessary to make a declaration of official intent. The Secretary of Finance is hereby designated as the 19
appropriate representative of the State and the Secretary of Transportation is hereby designated as the appropriate 20
representative of the Authority, and each is authorized to declare official intent on behalf of the State or the Authority, a s 21

declaration is required to preserve such tax treatment. 23
