Arkansas Code § 19-4-1407 - Method of Financing

(a) Before any state agency shall enter into any contract of employment with an architect or take any other affirmative action toward the construction or financing of any project as provided in this subchapter, it shall submit to the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State, in writing, a summary statement setting forth:

(1) A general description of the proposed project;

(2) Its estimated overall costs; and

(3) The method it proposes to use to finance its cost, which is to be a method of financing that must be approved by the Governor.

(b) After examining the method of financing and making such investigation as he or she shall deem necessary or advisable, the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall notify the agency, in writing, of his or her and the Governor's approval or disapproval of the method of financing the project. In the event of disapproval by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State and the Governor, the agency may submit an alternate plan of financing the project. In any event, no affirmative action shall be taken by the agency unless and until a method of financing shall be approved by the Governor and the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State. The Chief Fiscal Officer of the State shall have no authority to pass upon the need for any such construction, such authority being vested solely in the agency.

(c) The method of financing as required by this subchapter shall include estimated dates for commencing and completing the project. After the contracts for the project have been awarded, then the method of financing shall be amended to include the estimated dates of completion in accordance with the awarded contracts.
