published in similar
manner in a newspaper of general 
circulation in the community or
communities where the using

agency is seeking space.

    (d) Response.  The request for information response shall

consist of written information
sufficient to show that the 
respondent can meet minimum criteria
set forth in the request.  
State

respondents
for the purpose of clarifying

be reduced to writing; one copy 
shall be filed with the Comptroller and filed in accordance 
with the provisions
of Section 20-80, and one copy shall be 
filed with the Board.

    When the lowest response by price is not selected, the 
State purchasing
officer shall forward to the chief procurement 
officer, along with the lease,
notice of the identity of the 
lowest respondent by price and written reasons
for the 
selection of a different response.  The chief procurement 
officer shall
publish the written reasons in the next volume of 
the Illinois Procurement
Bulletin.
    (e) Board review. Upon receipt of (1) any proposed lease of 
real property of 10,000 or more square feet or (2) any proposed 
lease of real property with annual rent payments of $100,000 or 
more, the Procurement Policy Board shall have 30 days to review 
the proposed lease. If the Board does not object in writing 
within 30 days, then the proposed lease shall become effective 
according to its terms as submitted. The leasing agency shall 
make any and all materials available to the Board to assist in 
the review process.
