|
| 1 | | circumstances, such as long-term leasehold, mutual | 2 | | performance, or development contracts with the municipality, | 3 | | that may give the design-build entity a financial or tangible | 4 | | advantage over other design-build entities in the preparation, | 5 | | evaluation, or performance of the design-build contract or | 6 | | that create the appearance of impropriety. No proposal may be | 7 | | considered that does not include an entity's plan to comply | 8 | | with the requirements established in the Business Enterprise | 9 | | for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, for | 10 | | both the design and construction areas of performance, and | 11 | | with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. | 12 | | Upon completion of the qualification evaluation, the | 13 | | municipality must create a shortlist of the most highly | 14 | | qualified design-build entities.

|
| 1 | | The municipality must directly employ or retain a licensed | 2 | | design professional or a public art designer to evaluate the | 3 | | technical and cost submissions to determine if the technical | 4 | | submissions are in accordance with generally accepted industry | 5 | | standards.
Upon completion of the technical submissions and | 6 | | cost submissions evaluation, the municipality may award the | 7 | | design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity. | 8 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-30 new) | 9 | | Sec. 11-39.2-30. Small projects. In any case where the | 10 | | total overall cost of the project is estimated to be less than | 11 | | $12,000,000, the municipality may combine the two-phase | 12 | | procedure for selection described in Section 11-39.2-25 into | 13 | | one combined step if all the requirements of evaluation are | 14 | | performed in accordance with Section 11-39.2-25. | 15 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-35 new) | 16 | | Sec. 11-39.2-35.

After evaluation begins by the municipality, clear and | 12 | | convincing evidence of error is required for withdrawal. | 13 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-39.2-40 new) | 14 | | Sec. 11-39.2-40.

Unsuccessful | 17 | | design-build entities must also be notified in writing. The | 18 | | municipality may not request a best and final offer after the | 19 | | receipt of proposals of all qualified design-build entities. | 20 | | The municipality may negotiate with the selected design-build | 21 | | entity after award, but prior to contract execution, for the | 22 | | purpose of securing better terms than originally proposed if | 23 | | the salient features of the request for proposal are not | 24 | | diminished. | 25 | | A design-build entity and associated design professionals |
