The legislative body may enter into an agreement for the construction of discrete portions or phases of facilities to be constructed and purchased consistent with Section 53313.5. The agreement may include any provisions that the legislative body determines are necessary or convenient, but shall do all of the following:

(a) Identify the specific facilities or discrete portions or phases of facilities to be constructed and purchased. The legislative body may agree to purchase discrete portions or phases of facilities if the portions or phases are capable of serviceable use as determined by the legislative body.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), when the purchase value of a facility exceeds one million dollars ($1,000,000), the legislative body may agree to purchase discrete portions or phases of the partially completed project.

(c) Identify procedures to ensure that the facilities are constructed pursuant to plans, standards, specifications, and other requirements as determined by the legislative body.

(d) Specify a price or a method to determine a price for each facility or discrete portion or phase of a facility. The price may include an amount reflecting the interim cost of financing cash payments that must be made during construction of the project, at the discretion of the legislative body.

(e) Specify procedures for final inspection and approval of facilities or discrete portions of facilities, for approval of payment, and for acceptance and conveyance or dedication of the facilities to the local agency.
