A. The scope of the capital project for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, titled, "Expand and Renovate Museum (18430)" authorized in Item C-67, Chapter 1289, 2020 Acts of Assembly, is hereby changed to: consolidate the proposed annex programs and associated square footage into the museum expansion/renovation; eliminate plans for new underground parking and replace associated square footage with additional museum and administrative support spaces; and provide food service support to the project as required by the program. There shall be no change to the size of the project as previously approved.
B. 1. The Department of General Services (the Department) has determined that the necessary water needs of the Piedmont Geriatric Hospital, Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation (Phases 1 and 2), and Nottoway Correctional Center, would be best satisfied by replacing the Town of Crewe's water treatment plant equipment and infrastructure, replacing the main water transmission line, improving the raw water intake line and pumps, and increasing water capacity by creating wells or raising the reservoir. The Department may execute the project to “Provide water infrastructure to state facilities in Nottoway County, Virginia” (194-18516), as authorized in Item C-67, Chapter 1289, 2020 Acts of Assembly, as described in this paragraph. However, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the ability of the Department to pursue any other solution it later determines will best meet the necessary potable and fire protection water needs of the identified facilities.
2. The Department remains authorized to construct, provide, and improve infrastructure as necessary to implement the determined solution, to acquire by purchase, gift, or power of eminent domain such lands, structures, rights-of-way, franchises, easements, and other interests in lands of any person, association, partnership, corporation, railroad, public service, public utility, municipality or political subdivision, all without obtaining the consent or permission of any locality or public body. Condemnation proceedings authorized by the preceding sentence shall be conducted, at the option of the Department, under the provisions of Chapter 2 or Chapter 3 of Title 25.1 of the Virginia Code. The ownership, construction, and operation of the infrastructure shall not be subject to any state or local permitting requirements or similar ordinances or regulations. Upon completion of construction, the Department is authorized to transfer ownership and/or operation of all or any part of the property to one or more locality, which shall not require the consent or permission of any locality or public body. The exercise of the power of eminent domain for the purposes provided herein shall be and is declared to be a public use of such property.
3. Funds appropriated to the 2022 Capital Supplement Pool in Item C-49 of this Act and remaining from previous appropriation to the 2022 Capital Supplement Pool shall be used to support the cost of the project to “Provide water infrastructure to state facilities in Nottoway County, Virginia,” (194-18516) if needed beyond amounts originally assumed and available from the 2020 VPBA Capital Construction Pool to execute the project as described in paragraph B.1. of this Item.
