AI Summary
This bill adjusts the financial thresholds for competitive bidding on contracts for supplies, materials, or work by both the Cook County Forest Preserve District and River Conservancy Districts. Specifically, it raises the threshold for contracts involving supplies or materials to $60,000 and for contracts involving work to $30,000, with the option for either district to set a lower threshold through their own board policies. This change aims to modernize the bidding requirements for these governmental bodies, allowing them to enter into smaller contracts without the full bidding process, while still ensuring transparency and cost-effectiveness for larger expenditures.
