(5) any other matters, of like or different character, which in any way affect the security or protection of the holders of the notes or bonds.

(e) The bonds of each issue may, in the discretion of the board of directors of the Kansas development finance authority, be made redeemable before maturity at such prices and under such terms and conditions as may be determined by the board of directors of the Kansas development finance authority. Bonds issued on behalf of the board of regents shall mature at such time, not exceeding 30 years from their date of issue, as may be determined by the board of regents and the board of directors of the Kansas development finance authority.

(i) The bonds shall be special, limited obligations of the Kansas development finance authority and the state shall not be liable for bonds issued by the Kansas development finance authority on behalf of the board of regents, and such bonds shall not constitute a debt of the state.
(j) Neither the board of regents, the board of the Kansas development finance authority nor any authorized employee of the board of regents or the Kansas development finance authority shall be personally liable for such bonds by reason of the issuance thereof.
(k) Nothing in this act shall be construed as a restriction or limitation upon any other powers which the board of regents might otherwise have under any other law of this state, and this act is cumulative to any such powers. This act does and shall be construed to provide a complete, additional and alternative method for the doing of the things authorized thereby and shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to powers conferred by other laws. The issuance of bonds under the provisions of this act need not comply with the requirements of any other state law applicable to the issuance of bonds. No proceedings, notice or approval shall be required for the issuance of any bonds or any instrument as security therefor, except as is provided in this act.
(l) Any of the provisions relating to bonds described in this section may be included in any contracts between the board of regents and the Kansas development finance authority relating to obligations of the Kansas development finance authority issued on behalf of the board of regents.

(a) As an alternative to the procedure established in K.S.A. 76-7,128, and amendments thereto, the state board may establish an alternative project delivery program under which construction management at-risk procurement processes may be utilized for state educational institution construction projects. This authorization for construction management at-risk procurement shall be for the sole and exclusive use of planning, acquiring, designing, building, equipping, altering, repairing, improving or demolishing any structure or appurtenance thereto, including facilities, utilities or other improvements to any real property.
(b) The state board shall establish a state educational institution procurement committee which shall be composed of five members, or their designees, as follows: (1) The director of facilities at the state board who shall serve as chairperson of the committee; (2) an architect or engineer from a state educational institution; (3) a representative of the associated general contractors of Kansas appointed from a list of at least three nominees submitted by the association to the state board; (4) a representative of the American institute of architects appointed from a list of at least three nominees submitted by the association to the state board; and (5) a representative of the American council of engineering companies appointed from a list of at least three nominees submitted by the association to the state board.
(c) The procurement committee shall review and approve requests for the utilization of alternative project delivery under the state educational institution project delivery building construction procurement act for capital improvement projects financed totally from non-state moneys. If the committee approves a request for utilization of alternative project delivery, the committee shall provide a shortlist of construction managers/design builders for use in such capital improvement project.
(d) The procurement committee shall approve those projects for which the use of alternative project delivery procurement process is appropriate. In making such determination, the committee shall consider the following factors:
(1) The likelihood that the alternative project delivery method of procurement selected will serve the public interest by providing substantial savings of time or money over the traditional design-bid-build delivery process.
(2) The ability to overlap design and construction phases is required to meet the needs of the end user.
(3) The use of an accelerated schedule is required to make repairs resulting from an emergency situation.
(4) The project presents significant phasing or technical complexities, or both, requiring the use of an integrated team of designers and constructors to solve project challenges during the design or preconstruction phase.
(5) The use of an alternative project delivery method will not encourage favoritism in awarding the public contract or substantially diminish competition for the public contract.
(e) When a request is made for alternative delivery procurement by a state educational institution, the institution on behalf of the state board shall publish a notice in the Kansas register and notify all active general contractor industry associations in the state that the procurement committee will be holding a public hearing with the opportunity for comment on such request. Notice shall be published and notification shall be made at least 15 days prior to the hearing.
(f) If the procurement committee finds that the project does not qualify for the alternative project delivery methods included under this act, then the construction services for such project shall be obtained pursuant to competitive bids and all contracts for construction services shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder in accordance with procurement procedures determined and administered by the state board which shall be consistent with the provisions of this act.
(g) When it is necessary in the judgment of an institution to obtain project services for a particular project as described under this act, the institution shall publish a notice of the request for qualifications and proposals for the required project services at least 15 days prior to the commencement of such request in the Kansas register in accordance with K.S.A. 75-430a, and amendments thereto, and in such other appropriate manner as may be determined by the institution.

(a) The board is hereby authorized to provide for the issuance, from time to time, of revenue bonds of the board in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $22,000,000 for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of the project. The principal of and the interest on the bonds shall be payable solely from the funds herein provided for such payment. The bonds shall be dated, shall bear interest at a rate not to exceed the maximum rate prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009, and amendments thereto, shall mature at such time not exceeding 20 years from their date, as may be determined by the board, and may be made redeemable before maturity, at the option of the board, at such price and under such terms and conditions fixed by the board prior to the issuance of the bonds. The board shall determine the form and the manner of execution of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination of the bonds and the place of payment of principal and interest, which may be at the office of the state treasurer as fiscal agent of the state, or at any bank or trust company within or without the state. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature or such facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery. The board may also provide for the authentication of the bonds by a trustee or fiscal agent. The bonds may be issued in coupon or in registered form, or both, as the board determines, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to both principal and interest, and for the reconversion into coupon bonds of any bonds registered as to both principal and interest and for the interchange of registered and coupon bonds. The board may sell such bonds in such manner, and upon such terms as it determines to be in the public interest and advantageous to the medical center and the state, at public sale at not less than par and accrued interest by competitive bidding, with sealed proposals, after the notice provided in K.S.A. 10-106, and amendments thereto. Any and all bids may be rejected. If no bid acceptable to the board is received, the board may sell the bonds without competitive bidding at private sale in such manner and upon such terms and conditions the board determines will be in the public interest and advantageous to and for the best interests of the medical center and the state.
(b) The proceeds of the bonds, except such as may be made available to secure or pay bonds, shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project or portion thereof for which such bonds have been issued, and shall be disbursed in such manner and under such restrictions, if any, as the board provides in the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or in the trust agreement securing the same. If the proceeds of the bonds, by reason of increased construction costs or error in estimates or otherwise, shall be less than such cost, additional bonds, not exceeding with other bonds issued hereunder the maximum amount authorized to be issued, may in like manner be issued to provide the amount of such deficiency, and, unless otherwise provided in the bond resolution or in the trust agreement, shall be deemed to be of the same issue and shall be entitled to payment from the same fund without preference or priority of the bonds first issued. If the proceeds of the bonds of any issue exceed such cost, such excess shall be deposited to the credit of the sinking fund for such bonds, or if provided in such resolution or trust agreement, may be deposited to the credit of any reserve fund established to secure the bonds.
(c) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the board may, under like restrictions, issue interim financing receipts or temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such bonds have been executed and are available for delivery. The board also may provide for the replacement of any bonds which are mutilated or are destroyed or lost.
(d) Bonds may be issued under the provisions of this act without obtaining, except as otherwise expressly provided in this act, the consent of any department, division, commission, board, body, bureau or agency of the state, and without any other proceedings or the happening of any conditions or things other than those proceedings, conditions or things which are specifically required by this act and the provisions of the resolution authorizing the issuance of such bonds or the trust agreement securing the same.
History: L. 1973, ch. 380, § 6; L. 1983, ch. 49, § 97; May 12.
In the discretion of the board, any bonds issued under the provisions of this act may be secured by a trust agreement by and between the board and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state. Such trust agreement or the resolution providing for the issuance of such bonds may pledge or assign all or any part of the gross or net revenues, proceeds and receipts derived from the ownership, operation or use of, or services rendered by, the medical center, together with the project, and including fees, tuition, rents, charges, other revenues, proceeds from the sale of any property, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, appropriated funds and other moneys to be received and available therefor, but shall not convey or mortgage the medical center or the project. Any trust agreement or resolution providing for the issuance of bonds may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the holders of the bonds as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the board in relation to the acquisition of property and the construction, improvement, maintenance, repair, operation and insurance of the medical center together with the project, the fees, tuition, rents and other charges to be fixed and collected, the sale of any property, the terms and conditions for the issuance of additional bonds, the continued operation of the medical center together with the project, until payment of all the bonds, and the custody, safeguarding, investment and application of all moneys received from the sale of the bonds as well as all moneys pledged by the board to secure the payment of the bonds and the interest thereon. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of the state which may act as depository of the proceeds of bonds, revenues or other money hereunder to furnish such indemnifying bonds or to pledge such securities as may be required by the board. Any such trust agreement or resolution may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders. In addition to the foregoing, any such trust agreement or resolution may contain such other provisions as the board may deem desirable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of such trust agreement or resolution may be treated as a part of the cost of the project or as an expense of administration of the medical center together with the project, as the case may be.

Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which a pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the board.

Said board may acquire said property in accordance with the federal property and administrative services act of 1949, as amended, and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and said board is hereby authorized and empowered to execute any and all agreements with the federal government or any agency thereof, and shall have and may exercise any other powers, or do any other acts, that may be necessary in acquiring said property in accordance with the requirements of any federal law or rule and regulations promulgated thereunder: Provided, That said board, before making any such agreements relating to the acquisition of said property, shall advise the governor of the terms and conditions of the acquisition, and no further proceedings for such acquisition shall be taken unless written approval thereof and consent thereto is given by the governor.
It is the intent of the legislature that the property known as the Winter veterans hospital should not be acquired by the state unless substantially all of the real estate and equipment in the various buildings thereof as of March 10, 1959, is included in the acquisition. The board if it deems it advisable may designate and authorize one of its members or an officer in the state department of social welfare to negotiate and sign the necessary agreements for and on behalf of the board. If the use of said Winter veterans hospital facility is acquired by the state, the board may pay external administrative expenses incurred in the transfer of the property. Upon transfer of the property, the state board of social welfare shall assume immediate custody, care and maintenance thereof, and shall proceed to establish and maintain in such facility an institution for the mentally retarded.

The purpose of this compact is to provide for the mutual development and execution of such programs of cooperation for the confinement, treatment and rehabilitation of offenders with the most economical use of human and material resources.

Article III. — CONTRACTS
(a) Each party state may make one or more contracts with any one or more of the other party states for the confinement of inmates on behalf of a sending state in institutions situated within receiving states. Any such contract shall provide for:
Its duration.
Payments to be made to the receiving state by the sending state for inmate maintenance, extraordinary medical and dental expenses, and any participation in or receipt by inmates of rehabilitative or correctional services, facilities, programs or treatment not reasonably included as part of normal maintenance.
Participation in programs of inmate employment, if any; the disposition or crediting of any payments received by inmates on account thereof; and the crediting of proceeds from or disposal of any products resulting therefrom.

Article IV. — PROCEDURES AND RIGHTS
(a) Whenever the duly constituted authorities in a state party to this compact, and which has entered into a contract pursuant to article III, shall decide that confinement in, or transfer of an inmate to, an institution within the territory of another party state is necessary or desirable in order to provide adequate quarters and care or an appropriate program of rehabilitation or treatment, said officials may direct that the confinement be within an institution within the territory of said other party state, the receiving state to act in that regard solely as agent for the sending state.
(b) The appropriate officials of any state party to this compact shall have access, at all reasonable times, to any institution in which it has a contractual right to confine inmates for the purpose of inspecting the facilities thereof and visiting such of its inmates as may be confined in the institution.
(c) Inmates confined in an institution pursuant to the terms of this compact shall at all times be subject to the jurisdiction of the sending state and may at any time be removed therefrom for transfer to a prison or other institution within the sending state, for transfer to another institution in which the sending state may have a contractual or other right to confine inmates, for release on probation or parole, for discharge, or for any other purpose permitted by the laws of the sending state; provided that the sending state shall continue to be obligated to such payments as may be required pursuant to the terms of any contract entered into under the terms of article III.
(d) Each receiving state shall provide regular reports to each sending state on the inmates of that sending state in institutions pursuant to this compact including a conduct record of each inmate and certify said record to the official designated by the sending state, in order that each inmate may have official review of his or her record in determining and altering the disposition of said inmate in accordance with the law which may obtain in the sending state and in order that the same may be a source of information for the sending state.
(e) All inmates who may be confined in an institution pursuant to the provisions of this compact shall be treated in a reasonable and humane manner and shall be treated equally with such similar inmates of the receiving state as may be confined in the same institution. The fact of confinement in a receiving state shall not deprive any inmate so confined of any legal rights which said inmate would have had if confined in an appropriate institution of the sending state.

In the event such hearing or hearings are had before officials of the receiving state, the governing law shall be that of the sending state and a record of the hearing or hearings as prescribed by the sending state shall be made. Said record together with any recommendations of the hearing officials shall be transmitted forthwith to the official or officials before whom the hearing would have been had if it had taken place in the sending state. In any and all proceedings had pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision, the officials of the receiving state shall act solely as agents of the sending state and no final determination shall be made in any matter except by the appropriate officials of the sending state.
(g) Any inmate confined pursuant to this compact shall be released within the territory of the sending state unless the inmate, and the sending and receiving states, shall agree upon release in some other place. The sending state shall bear the cost of such return to its territory.
(h) Any inmate confined pursuant to the terms of this compact shall have any and all rights to participate in and derive any benefits or incur or be relieved of any obligations or have such obligations modified or his status changed on account of any action or proceeding in which he could have participated if confined in any appropriate institution of the sending state located within such state.
(i) The parent, guardian, trustee, or other person or persons entitled under the laws of the sending state to act for, advise, or otherwise function with respect to any inmate shall not be deprived of or restricted in his exercise of any power in respect of any inmate confined pursuant to the terms of this compact.
Article V. — ACTS NOT REVIEWABLE IN RECEIVING STATE; EXTRADITION
(a) Any decision of the sending state in respect of any matter over which it retains jurisdiction pursuant to this compact shall be conclusive upon and not reviewable within the receiving state, but if at the time the sending state seeks to remove an inmate from an institution in the receiving state there is pending against the inmate within such state any criminal charge or if the inmate is formally accused of having committed within such state a criminal offense, the inmate shall not be returned without the consent of the receiving state until discharged from prosecution or other form of proceeding, imprisonment or detention for such offense. The duly accredited officers of the sending state shall be permitted to transport inmates pursuant to this compact through any and all states party to this compact without interference.
(b) An inmate who escapes from an institution in which he is confined pursuant to this compact shall be deemed a fugitive from the sending state and from the state in which the institution is situated.

This compact shall continue in force and remain binding upon a party state until it shall have enacted a statute repealing the same and providing for the sending of formal written notice of withdrawal from the compact to the appropriate officials of all other party states. An actual withdrawal shall not take effect until one year after the notices provided in said statute have been sent. Such withdrawal shall not relieve the withdrawing state from its obligations assumed hereunder prior to the effective date of withdrawal. Before the effective date of withdrawal, a withdrawing state shall remove to its territory, at its own expense, such inmates as it may have confined pursuant to the provisions of this compact.
Article IX. — OTHER ARRANGEMENTS UNAFFECTED
Nothing contained in this compact shall be construed to abrogate or impair any agreement or other arrangements which a party state may have with a non-party state for the confinement, rehabilitation or treatment of inmates nor to repeal any other laws of a party state authorizing the making of cooperative institutional arrangements.
Article X. — CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this compact shall be liberally construed and shall be severable. If any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this compact is declared to be contrary to the constitution of any participating state or of the United States or the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstances is held invalid, the validity of the remainder of this compact and the applicability thereof to any government, agency, person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.
