JUDICIAL 1
Section 19. Court Facilities Improvement Working Group. Recognizing that there are critical unmet 2
court space needs statewide, including addressing operational deficiencies of the Family Court facilities in Sussex and 3
Kent Counties, and other downstate court facilities, as identified in the Southern Court Facilities Space Study 4
(October 31, 2006), a court facilities improvement working group shall be established, consisting of representatives 5
from the Judicial Branch, the Office of the Governor, the Office of Management and Budget, including Facilities 6
Management, and the Office of the Controller General, to develop a plan for implementing flexible, cost-effective 7
and potentially innovative solutions to these and other court facility space issues. The working group shall engage 8
with the Delaware State Bar Association to obtain input from practitioners who practice in the affected courts 9
regarding the best manner to ensure that litigants have access to high- quality, dignified, and safe courthouses within 10
reasonable proximity to their residences, and what combination of courthouses will accomplish that goal in the 11
manner most cost-effective to taxpayers in the long term. For the same reason, the working group will obtain input 12
from other state agencies that provide services related to litigants in the affected courts, to consider whether the co-13
location of offices would be helpful to those receiving services and be more efficient for state taxpayers in the long 14
term. 15

existing system, the agency shall obtain the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, DSHS, and DTI. 11
Section 26. De
sign-Build Contracts. The Office of Management and Budget is hereby authorized to 12
utilize or approve the design- build contract mechanism for up to twelve construction projects that are deemed 13
necessary by the Director for the efficient construction and improvement of state facilities. Design- build is a project 14
delivery method under which a project owner, having defined its initial expectations to a certain extent, executes a 15
single contract for both architectural/engineering services and construction. The selection processes and other terms 16
of such contracts may vary considerably from project to project. The design- build entity may be a single firm, a 17
consortium, joint venture, or other organization. However, the fundamental element of design- build delivery remains
18
that one entity assumes primary responsibility for design and construction of the project. The Office of Management 19
and Budget is authorized to use this approach in completing its projects, subject to the following conditions: 20
(a) T
21
Department of Labor, as provided in 29 Del. C. § 6960, in conjunction with federal prevailing wage rates for such 22
work; 23

contracts: § 6962(d)(4)a. (anti-pollution, conservation environmental measures or Energy Star Equipment not covered 25
by contract specifications); § 6962(d)(7) (equality of employment opportunity); and § 6962(d)(8)(9) (bonding 26
requirements); and 27
(c) Any such contracts using federal funding shall conform to all applicable federal laws and regulations 28
concerning design-build contracting. 29 22
(d) The Section 1 Addendum of this Act makes an appropriation funding for a renovation project at 704 N. 1
King Street. This project shall be designated as a design -build project. 2
(e) A

9
other municipality, provided that it or a portion thereof, is leased by the State of Delaware or an agency thereof, 10
including if it is thereafter subleased to a private provider, as a medically assisted treatment facility for drug and other 11
addiction services, including any ancillary related uses such as offices or other treatment programs. 12

ds appropriated to the Office

Section 30.
Fund Recoveries. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Delaware Law or this Act to the 28
contrary, pursuant to federal rules and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, all records 29 23
and expenditures are subject to a review or audit conducted by, or on behalf of, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the 1
State Auditor’s Office or designee. Any misrepresentation, misuse, or mishandling of these funds may be subject to 2
claw-back and other appropriate measures, including the possible reduction or withholding of other State funds. 3

contrary, the Office of Management and Budget, Division of Facilities Management is hereby authorized to acquire

Program Coop Student Rate” in lieu of a Prevailing Wage rate on the pilot project. This Student Rate is applicable to 13
