HB4647

Illinois HB4647 amends the Civic Center Code to revise bidding procedures for contracts exceeding $10,000.

HB4647 amends the Civic Center Code to change how contracts are awarded. It mandates that contracts for property sales or leases exceeding $10,000 be awarded to the highest responsible bidder after advertising. For contracts involving supplies, materials, equipment, and services exceeding $10,000, the lowest responsible bidder should be selected, except in specific cases like repair parts or services requiring high skill. The Board can reject all bids and readvertise if necessary. Contracts cannot be split to avoid competitive bidding, and collusion among bidders voids bids.
