HB 5345

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Modifies the term "single prime" to mean the design-bid-build procurement delivery method for a building construction project in which the Capital Development Board or a public institution of higher education (currently, only the Capital Development Board) is the construction agency procuring 2 or more specified subdivisions of work. Provides that for building construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate specifications must (rather than may) be prepared for all equipment, labor, and materials in connection with the 5 subdivisions of the work to be performed. Modifies requirements concerning specifications to be drawn so as to permit separate and independent bidding. Provides requirements for single prime projects in which the Capital Development Board or an institution of higher education is the construction agency procuring for building construction contracts in excess of $250,000. Extends repeal and inoperative dates. Makes conforming changes. Effective immediately.
