If it is determined by the department or Washington builds that there is a conflict of interest or a situation that is likely to constitute a violation of chapter 42.52 RCW, the applicant may be disqualified from further consideration.
2. If, after notice and review, the department or Washington builds determines that a funding recipient is involved in a conflict of interest or likely violation of chapter 42.52 RCW or similar law, the department or Washington builds may terminate the funding agreement by written notice and pursue available legal remedies.
Requirements in subsection (4) of this section must be included in all funding agreements issued by the department and Washington builds.

Section 8001 ¶

RCW 43.88.031 requires the disclosure of the estimated debt service costs associated with new capital bond appropriations. The estimated debt service costs for the appropriations contained in this act are $73,258,483 $21,032,107 for the 2025-2027 biennium, $410,061,655 $402,516,180 for the 2027-2029 biennium, and $631,176,449 $712,192,926 for the 2029-2031 biennium.

Section 8002 ¶

(1) The following agencies may enter into financial contracts, paid from any funds of an agency, appropriated or nonappropriated, for the purposes indicated and in not more than the principal amounts indicated, plus financing expenses and required reserves pursuant to chapter 39.94 RCW. When securing properties under this section, agencies shall use the most economical financial contract option available, including long-term leases, lease-purchase agreements, lease-development with option to purchase agreements or financial contracts using certificates of participation. Expenditures made by an agency for one of the indicated purposes before the issue date of the authorized financial contract and any certificates of participation therein are intended to be reimbursed from proceeds of the financial contract and any certificates of participation therein to the extent provided in the agency's financing plan approved by the state finance committee.

Section 8003 ¶

(1) To ensure that major construction projects are carried out in accordance with legislative and executive intent, agencies must complete a predesign for state construction projects with a total anticipated cost in excess of $10,000,000 $15,000,000. For purposes of this section, "total anticipated cost" means the sum of the anticipated cost of the predesign, design, and construction phases of the project.

Section 8004 ¶

(1) The legislature finds that use of life-cycle cost analysis will aid public entities, architects, engineers, and contractors in making design and construction decisions that positively impact both the initial construction cost and the ongoing operating and maintenance cost of a project. To ensure that the total cost of a project is accounted for and the most reasonable and cost efficient design is used, agencies shall develop life-cycle costs for any construction project over $10,000,000. The life-cycle costs must represent the present value sum of capital costs, installation costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs over the life expectancy of the project. The legislature further finds the most effective approach to the life-cycle cost analysis is to integrate it into the early part of the design process.

Section 8005 ¶

(1) For the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium, unless otherwise specified for a single purpose in this act or chapter 414, Laws of 2025, agencies are appropriated one lump sum for minor works projects. It is the intent of the legislature that appropriated funds be spent in the biennium for which they are appropriated.

Section 8006 ¶

(1) The legislature intends that appropriations for grant programs and community projects be spent in a timely manner in order to accomplish the goal for which they were appropriated. In furtherance of this goal, the legislature does not intend to reappropriate moneys for projects for which a contract has not been executed within four years from the date of appropriation or for which appropriations have not been spent within six years of appropriation:

Section 8007 ¶

The legislature finds that local and community projects, as well as other direct appropriations, are a vital means of responding directly to pressing and emergent community needs across the state. Therefore, it is the intent of the legislature to provide the department of commerce with direction regarding the implementation of these projects, including changes to their scope and location, so as to facilitate their timely completion and in a manner that is consistent with legislative intent. Capital grants that are appropriated on a line item basis and administered by the department of commerce must meet the conditions in this section.

Any revenues derived from the taxes authorized by RCW 36.38.010(5) and 36.38.040 or other amounts that if used as provided under (a) and (b) of this subsection would cause the loss of any tax exemption under federal law for interest on bonds issued under RCW 43.99N.020 shall be deposited in and used exclusively for the purposes of the youth athletic facility account and shall not be used, directly or indirectly, as a source of payment of principal of or interest on bonds issued under RCW 43.99N.020, or to replace or reimburse other funds used for that purpose.

Any moneys in the stadium and exhibition center account not required or permitted to be used for the purposes described in subsection (3)(a) and (b) of this section shall be deposited in the youth athletic facility account hereby created in the state treasury.

Only the director of the recreation and conservation office or the director's designee may authorize expenditures from the account. The account is subject to allotment procedures under chapter 43.88 RCW, but an appropriation is not required for expenditures.

A portion of the appropriation must be used to inventory K-12 school fields and athletic facilities and park agency facilities.
