HB 3284

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Modifies the term "construction agency" to clarify the meaning of State agency as used under that term. Modifies the term "single prime" to mean the design-bid-build procurement delivery method for a building construction project in which the construction agency (currently, the Capital Development Board is the construction agency) procures 2 or more specified subdivisions of work. Extends the repeal of the Section defining "single prime" from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2030. Modifies a Section concerning design-bid-build construction. Changes references concerning the Capital Development Board to construction agency for purposes of requirements under the Section. Provides that for single prime projects, among other requirements, annual (rather than quarterly) reports shall be submitted to the Procurement Policy Board with information on the general scope, project budget, and established Business Enterprise Program goals for any single prime procurement bid in the previous 12 (currently, 3) months. Provides that use of the single prime procurement delivery method shall not exceed 50% of the total number of projects with total construction cost valued at $5,000,000 or less. Provides that a construction agency shall post notice of its intent to use the single prime method on a project on its online Procurement Bulletin at least 7 (currently, 3) business days following submission of such notice to the Procurement Policy Board. Makes conforming changes.
