b. Construction of a new office building on Broad Street between 8th Street and 9th Street, which shall be used primarily as an office building for the Commonwealth, but may provide for limited commercial and retail space on the first floor.  This structure shall be designed to provide approximately 375,000 gross square feet with approximately 270 on-site parking spaces, which would utilize approximately 111,000 gross square feet of this total.
c. The total cost for both the renovation of the 9th Street Office Building and the new office building on Broad Street is estimated at $139,610,605.
3. That portion of the design work provided for in paragraph 2, of this Item, that is related to the use of the renovated 9th Street Office Building and the new office building on Broad Street as temporary office space for the Legislative Branch of government shall be carried out in cooperation with representatives of each legislative agency.

a) report periodically to the Chairmen of the Senate Finance and House Appropriations Committees on the plans and status of this project for their review and comment, and b) provide the final, full appropriation for this project in his budget submission to the 2007 Session of the General Assembly.  The cost of the on-site parking may be borne by the state employee parking fund only if such parking spaces will be routinely made available to the general state workforce on a continuing basis after work on the General Assembly Building is completed.
6. It is anticipated that sufficient general fund appropriations or Virginia Public Building Authority bond authorization will be provided in future fiscal years to cover all phases of the project as specified in the final contract."
