These factors are |
| | | HB4772 | - 8 - | LRB102 25757 AWJ 35083 b |
|
| 1 | | in addition to any prequalification requirements of | 2 | | design-build entities that the county has set forth. Each | 3 | | request for proposal shall establish the relative importance | 4 | | assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including | 5 | | any weighting of criteria to be employed by the county. The | 6 | | county must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be | 7 | | disclosed in event of a protest regarding the solicitation. | 8 | | The county shall include the following criteria in every | 9 | | Phase I evaluation of design-build entities: (i) experience of | 10 | | personnel; (ii) successful experience with similar project | 11 | | types; (iii) financial capability; (iv) timeliness of past | 12 | | performance; (v) experience with similarly sized projects; | 13 | | (vi) successful reference checks of the firm; (vii) commitment | 14 | | to assign personnel for the duration of the project and | 15 | | qualifications of the entity's consultants; and (viii) ability | 16 | | or past performance in meeting or exhausting good faith | 17 | | efforts to meet the utilization goals for business enterprises | 18 | | established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, | 19 | | and Persons with Disabilities Act and with Section 2-105 of | 20 | | the Illinois Human Rights Act. The county may include any | 21 | | additional relevant
criteria in Phase I that it deems | 22 | | necessary for a proper qualification review. | 23 | | The county may not consider any design-build entity for | 24 | | evaluation or award if the entity has any pecuniary interest | 25 | | in the project or has other relationships or circumstances, | 26 | | including, but not limited to, long-term leasehold, mutual |
| | | HB4772 | - 9 - | LRB102 25757 AWJ 35083 b |
|
| 1 | | performance, or development contracts with the county, that | 2 | | may give the design-build entity a financial or tangible | 3 | | advantage over other design-build entities in the preparation, | 4 | | evaluation, or performance of the design-build contract or | 5 | | that create the appearance of impropriety. No proposal shall | 6 | | be considered that does not include an entity's plan to comply | 7 | | with the requirements established in the Business Enterprise | 8 | | for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, for | 9 | | both the design and construction areas of performance, and | 10 | | with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. | 11 | | Upon completion of the qualifications evaluation, the | 12 | | county shall create a shortlist of the most highly qualified | 13 | | design-build entities. The county, in its discretion, is not | 14 | | required to shortlist the maximum number of entities as | 15 | | identified for Phase II evaluation, provided that no less than | 16 | | 2 design-build entities nor more than 6 are selected to submit | 17 | | Phase II proposals. | 18 | | The county shall notify the entities selected for the | 19 | | shortlist in writing. This notification shall commence the | 20 | | period for the preparation of the Phase II technical and cost | 21 | | evaluations. The county must allow sufficient time for the | 22 | | shortlist entities to prepare their Phase II submittals | 23 | | considering the scope and detail requested by the county. | 24 | | (c) The county shall include in the request for proposal | 25 | | the evaluating factors to be used in the technical and cost | 26 | | submission components of Phase II. Each request for proposal |
| | | HB4772 | - 10 - | LRB102 25757 AWJ 35083 b |
|
| 1 | | shall establish, for both the technical and cost submission | 2 | | components of Phase II, the relative importance assigned to | 3 | | each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any weighting | 4 | | of criteria to be employed by the county. The county must | 5 | | maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in | 6 | | event of a protest regarding the solicitation. | 7 | | The county shall include the following criteria in every | 8 | | Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities: (i) | 9 | | compliance with objectives of the project; (ii) compliance of | 10 | | proposed services to the request for proposal requirements; | 11 | | (iii) quality of products or materials proposed; (iv) quality | 12 | | of design parameters; (v) design concepts; (vi) innovation in | 13 | | meeting the scope and performance criteria; and (vii) | 14 | | constructability of the proposed project. The county may | 15 | | include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors | 16 | | it deems necessary for proper selection. | 17 | | The county shall include the following criteria in every | 18 | | Phase II cost evaluation: the total project cost, the | 19 | | construction costs, and the time of completion. The county may | 20 | | include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors | 21 | | it deems necessary for proper selection. The total project | 22 | | cost criteria weighing factor shall not exceed 30%. | 23 | | The county shall directly employ or retain a licensed | 24 | | design professional or a public art designer to evaluate the | 25 | | technical and cost submissions to determine if the technical | 26 | | submissions are in accordance with generally accepted industry |
| | | HB4772 | - 11 - | LRB102 25757 AWJ 35083 b |
|
| 1 | | standards.
Upon completion of the technical submissions and | 2 | | cost submissions evaluation, the county may award the | 3 | | design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity. | 4 | | (55 ILCS 5/5-45030 new) | 5 | | Sec. 5-45030. Small projects. In any case where the total | 6 | | overall cost of the project is estimated to be less than | 7 | | $12,000,000, the county may combine the two-phase procedure | 8 | | for selection described in Section 5-45025 into one combined | 9 | | step, provided that all the requirements of evaluation are | 10 | | performed in accordance with Section 5-45025. | 11 | | (55 ILCS 5/5-45035 new) | 12 | | Sec. 5-45035.

Proposals | 18 | | shall also contain a separate sealed envelope with the cost | 19 | | information within the overall proposal submission. Proposals | 20 | | shall include a list of all design professionals, public art
| 21 | | designers, and other entities to which any work may be | 22 | | subcontracted during the performance of the contract. | 23 | | Proposals must meet all material requirements of the | 24 | | request for proposal or they may be rejected as |

| 1 | | non-responsive. The county shall have the right to reject any | 2 | | and all proposals. | 3 | | The drawings and specifications of the proposal may remain | 4 | | the property of the design-build entity. | 5 | | The county shall review the proposals for compliance with | 6 | | the performance criteria and evaluation factors. | 7 | | Proposals may be withdrawn prior to evaluation for any | 8 | | cause. After evaluation begins by the county, clear and | 9 | | convincing evidence of error is required for withdrawal. | 10 | | (55 ILCS 5/5-45040 new) | 11 | | Sec. 5-45040. Award; performance. The county may award the | 12 | | contract to the highest overall ranked design-build entity. | 13 | | Notice of award shall be made in writing. Unsuccessful | 14 | | design-build entities shall also be notified in writing. The | 15 | | county may request a best and final offer after the receipt of | 16 | | proposals of all qualified design-build entities. The county | 17 | | may negotiate with the selected design-build entity after | 18 | | award but prior to contract execution for the purpose of | 19 | | securing better terms than originally proposed, provided that | 20 | | the salient features of the request for proposal are not | 21 | | diminished. | 22 | | A design-build entity and associated design professionals | 23 | | shall
conduct themselves in accordance with the relevant laws | 24 | | of this State and the related provisions of the Illinois | 25 | | Administrative Code. |
