Text

The superintendent of the institution, the warden of the institution, the commanding general
of the national guard, or the head of an agency, department, bureau, board, or commission, as
the case may be, having the responsibility of supervising and maintaining a public building
belonging to the state of North Dakota, may sell or remove such building whenever it is found to
be obsolete, a fire hazard, in unsafe condition so as to constitute a hazard to life or limb, and is
of no future use to the state where it is located, by obtaining the written approval of the state
director of the office of management and budget if under the director's supervision or the head
of the department having supervision and the state fire marshal.
Economics shall dictate whether or not the sale or removal shall be by advertising for public
bids and awarding same to the lowest responsible bidder. If the building is to be destroyed,
every effort must be made to salvage and store any material which will be beneficial to the state
or which will have a salable value.
