| 22 | 944.10 Department of Corrections to provide buildings; |
| 23 | sale and purchase of land; contracts to provide services and |
| 24 | inmate labor.-- |
| 25 | (1)(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to expedite the |
| 26 | siting of, acquisition of land for, and construction by the |
| 27 | Department of Corrections of state correctional facilities |
| 28 | operated by the department or a private vendor under contract |
| 29 | with the department. Other agencies shall cooperate with the |
| 30 | department and expeditiously fulfill their responsibilities to |
| 31 | avoid unnecessary delay in the siting of, acquisition of land |
| 32 | for, and construction of state correctional facilities. This |
| 33 | section and all other laws of the state shall be construed to |

| 37 | process for selecting construction managers for the construction |
| 38 | of state correctional facilities may be non-project-specific in |

| 40 | projects based upon a continuing contract similar to the |
| 41 | selection process used for architects and engineers under s. |

| 43 | to the process for selecting construction managers for the |
| 44 | construction of state correctional facilities. |
