Bill > SB2301

This bill amends the Illinois Procurement Code to modify how public institutions of higher education can procure construction contracts. Specifically, the bill allows these institutions to use job order contracting (JOC), a procurement method that streamlines the process of awarding multiple small to medium-sized construction projects through a competitive sealed bidding process. Job order contracting is typically used to more efficiently handle repair, renovation, and minor construction work by establishing pre-priced contract units that can be quickly ordered as needed. By enabling higher education institutions to use this method, the bill aims to provide more flexibility and potentially reduce administrative overhead in construction procurement for public colleges and universities in Illinois.
