(605 ILCS 5/5-403) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-403)
Sec. 5-403.
When any highway construction projects by a County are to be performed
under the supervision and approval of the Department the procedure shall be
as follows:
The county board shall, by one or more resolutions, specify the
particular section or sections of highway to be constructed and the amount
or amounts to be used for such construction. The resolution or resolutions
shall be submitted to the Department for its approval. One resolution may
be submitted for more than one project. When the resolution or resolutions
have been approved by the Department, the county shall cause surveys,
plans, specifications and estimates of such construction to be made and
submitted to the Department for approval.
Upon receiving such approval, the county may advertise for bids and let
contracts for such construction to the lowest responsible bidder; or with
the approval of the Department, do the work itself through its officers,
agents and employees. No contract shall be let without the approval of the
Department. The Department shall have general supervision of such
construction whether done by the county or by contract. Upon completion of
the construction, if it is found by the Department that such construction
has been in accordance with the specifications, plans, surveys, and
contracts (if the construction was by contract), the Department shall so
certify to the county.
