 1         (3)(a)  Except as provided in paragraph (b) and

 2  subsection (10), no state agency shall enter into a lease as

 3  lessee for the use of 3,000 square feet or more of space in a

 4  privately owned building except upon advertisement for and

 5  receipt of competitive bids and award to the lowest and best

 6  bidder.  The Department of Management Services shall have the

 7  authority to approve a lease for 3,000 square feet or more of

 8  space that covers more than 1 fiscal year, subject to the

 9  provisions of ss. 216.311, 255.2501, 255.2502, and 255.2503,

10  if such lease is, in the judgment of the department, in the

11  best interests of the state. This paragraph does not apply to

12  buildings or facilities of any size leased for the purpose of

13  providing care and living space for persons.

14         (b)  The Department of Management Services may approve

15  extensions of an existing lease of 3,000 square feet or more

16  of space if such extensions are determined to be in the best

17  interests of the state, but in no case shall the total of such

18  extensions exceed 11 months.  If at the end of the 11th month

19  an agency still needs space, such space it shall be procured

20  by competitive bid in accordance with s. 255.249(2)(b); or, if

21  an agency determines that it is in its best interest to remain

22  in the space it currently occupies, the agency may negotiate a

23  replacement lease with the lessor if an independent market

24  analysis demonstrates that the rates offered are within market

25  rates for the space offered, and if the cost of the new lease

26  does not exceed the cost of a comparable lease plus documented

27  moving costs. A present value analysis and the consumer price

28  index shall be used in the calculation of lease costs. The

29  term of the replacement lease shall not exceed the base term

30  of the expiring lease.
