Bill Summary
Amends the Civic Center Code. Provides that all contracts for the sale of property of the value of more than the small purchase maximum under the Illinois Procurement Code (rather than $10,000) shall be awarded to the highest responsible bidder, after advertising for bids. Provides that all construction contracts and contracts for supplies, materials, equipment and services, when the expense thereof will exceed the small purchase maximum under the Illinois Procurement Code (rather than $10,000), shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder, after advertising for bids, except in specified circumstances. Makes conforming changes. Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Civic Center Code to update the financial thresholds for bidding on contracts. Instead of requiring bids for contracts exceeding $10,000, the bill now references the "small purchase maximum" as defined in Section 20-20 of the Illinois Procurement Code, which is a state law governing how the government purchases goods and services. This change applies to contracts for the sale of property, construction, and the purchase of supplies, materials, equipment, and services, meaning that a higher dollar amount, as determined by the Illinois Procurement Code's small purchase maximum, will now trigger the requirement for competitive bidding to ensure the best value for the public.
