AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2328

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2328 by replacing everything after the enacting clause with the following:

"Section 5. The Local Government Professional Services Selection Act is amended by changing Section 8 as follows:

(50 ILCS 510/8) (from Ch. 85, par. 6408)

Sec. 8. Emergencies; services under $50,000 Waiver of competition.

(a) A political subdivision may waive the requirements of Sections 4, 5, and 6 if it determines, by resolution, that an emergency situation exists and a firm must be selected in an expeditious manner, or the cost of architectural, engineering, and land surveying services for the project is expected to be less than $25,000.

(b) A political subdivision may develop an alternative process to the requirements of Sections 4, 5, and 6 for services costing at least $25,000 but less than $50,000. The alternative process shall establish guidelines for selection based on demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the type of services required followed by a negotiation of the fee at a price determined by the political subdivision to be fair and reasonable after considering the estimated value, the scope, the complexity, and the nature of the services.
