Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) to conduct a study to assess the availability and suitability of existing unused and underused public facilities for joint use by two governmental entities, including the economic advantages of that use. A report of the results of the study would be submitted to certain state leadership and to the Legislature not later than December 1, 2022.
Methodology
The TFC states that developing a list of public facilities as defined in the bill would require significant coordination with state agencies and local governments. Following the development of this inventory, a detailed economic impact of co-locating governmental entities in the public facilities would need to be conducted.TFC indicates that they would need to utilize contract services to implement the provisions of this bill. According to TFC, the agency would use existing financial services, advisory, and real estate services, and advisory contracts currently available through TFC's Center for Alternative Finance and Procurement (CAP) to conduct the research and draft the final report. The agency estimates that the contract to conduct this feasibility study would cost $700,000. In addition, based on the analysis of TFC, managing this contract would require one Planner III (1.0 FTE) and one Program Specialist IV (1.0 FTE) with a combined annual salary of $123,084 and related employee benefits of $41,873. This analysis assumes the required FTEs would be employed from the beginning of fiscal year 2022 through the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, when the report is scheduled for delivery. Additional costs include equipment and other operating expenses for the biennium for $12,253.
