Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

30 ILCS 500/30-30 (30 ILCS 500/30-30) Sec. 30-30. Design-bid-build construction. (a) Except as provided in subsection (a-5), for building construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate specifications may be prepared for all equipment, labor, and materials in connection with the following 5 subdivisions of the work to be performed: (1) plumbing; (2) heating, piping, refrigeration, and automatic | | temperature control systems, including the testing and balancing of those systems;
|
| (3) ventilating and distribution systems for
| | conditioned air, including the testing and balancing of those systems;
|
| (4) electric wiring; and
(5) general contract work.
Except as provided in subsection (a-5), the specifications may be so drawn as to permit separate and independent bidding upon each of the 5 subdivisions of work. All contracts awarded for any part thereof may award the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder on the general contract work or to the successful bidder on the subdivision of work designated by the construction agency before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided that all payments will be made directly to the contractors for the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the conditions of the contract.
For single prime projects: (i) the bid of the successful low bidder shall identify the name of the subcontractor, if any, and the bid proposal costs for each of the 5 subdivisions of work set forth in this Section; (ii) the contract entered into with the successful bidder shall provide that no identified subcontractor may be terminated without the written consent of the Capital Development Board; (iii) the contract shall comply with the disadvantaged business practices of the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and the equal employment practices of Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act; and (iv) the Capital Development Board shall submit an annual report to the General Assembly and Governor on the bidding, award, and performance of all single prime projects.
Until December 31, 2023, for building construction projects with a total construction cost valued at $5,000,000 or less, the Capital Development Board shall not use the single prime procurement delivery method for more than 50% of the total number of projects bid for each fiscal year. Until December 31, 2023, any project with a total construction cost valued greater than $5,000,000 may be bid using single prime at the discretion of the Executive Director of the Capital Development Board.
For contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2024, the Capital Development Board shall determine whether the single prime procurement delivery method is to be pursued. Before electing to use single prime on a project, the Capital Development Board must make a written determination that must include a description as to the particular advantages of the single prime procurement method for that project and an evaluation of the items in paragraphs (1) through (4). The chief procurement officer must review the Capital Development Board's determination and consider the adequacy of information in paragraphs (1) through (4) to determine whether the Capital Development Board may proceed with single prime. Approval by the chief procurement officer shall not be unreasonably withheld. The following factors must be considered by the chief procurement officer in any determination:
(1) The benefit that using the single prime
| | procurement method will have on the Capital Development Board's ability to increase participation of minority-owned firms, woman-owned firms, firms owned by persons with a disability, and veteran-owned firms.
|
| (2) The likelihood that single prime will be in the
| | best interest of the State by providing a material savings of time or cost over the multiple prime delivery system. The best interest of the State justification must show the specific benefits of using the single prime method, including documentation of the estimates or scheduling impacts of any of the following: project complexity and trade coordination required, length of project, availability of skilled workforce, geographic area, project timelines, project budget, ability to secure minority, women, persons with disabilities and veteran participation, or other information.
|
| (3) The type and size of the project and its
| | suitability to the single prime procurement method.
|
| (4) Whether the project will comply with the
| | underrepresented business and equal employment practices of the State, as established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, Section 45-57 of this Code, and Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
|
| If the chief procurement officer finds that the Capital Development Board's written determination is insufficient, the Capital Development Board shall have the opportunity to cure its determination. Within 15 days of receiving approval from the chief procurement officer, the Capital Development Board shall provide an advisory copy of the written determination to the Procurement Policy Board and the Commission on Equity and Inclusion. The Capital Development Board must maintain the full record of determination for 5 years.
(a-5) Beginning on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly and through December 31, 2025, for single prime projects in which a public institution of higher education is a construction agency awarding building construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate specifications may be prepared for all equipment, labor, and materials in connection with the 5 subdivisions of work enumerated in subsection (a). Any public institution of higher education contract awarded for any part thereof may award 2 or more of the 5 subdivisions of work together or separately to responsible and reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these classes of work if: (i) the public institution of higher education has submitted to the Procurement Policy Board and the Commission on Equity and Inclusion a written notice that includes the reasons for using the single prime method and an explanation of why the use of that method is in the best interest of the State and arranges to have the notice posted on the institution's online procurement webpage and its online procurement bulletin at least 3 business days following submission to the Procurement Policy Board and the Commission on Equity and Inclusion; (ii) the successful low bidder has prequalified with the public institution of higher education; (iii) the bid of the successful low bidder identifies the name of the subcontractor, if any, and the bid proposal costs for each of the 5 subdivisions of work set forth in subsection (a); (iv) the contract entered into with the successful bidder provides that no identified subcontractor may be terminated without the written consent of the public institution of higher education; and (v) the successful low bidder has prequalified with the University of Illinois or with the Capital Development Board.
For building construction projects with a total construction cost valued at $20,000,000 or less, public institutions of higher education shall not use the single prime delivery method for more than 50% of the total number of projects bid for each fiscal year. Projects with a total construction cost valued at $20,000,000 or more may be bid using the single prime delivery method at the discretion of the public institution of higher education. With respect to any construction project described in this subsection (a-5), the public institution of higher education shall: (i) specify in writing as a public record that the project shall comply with the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and the equal employment practices of Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act; and (ii) report annually to the Governor, General Assembly, Procurement Policy Board, and Auditor General on the bidding, award, and performance of all single prime projects. On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly, the public institution of higher education may award in each fiscal year single prime contracts with an aggregate total value of no more than $100,000,000. The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois may award in each fiscal year single prime contracts with an aggregate total value of not more than $300,000,000.
(b) For public institutions of higher education, the provisions of this subsection are operative on and after January 1, 2026. For building construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate specifications shall be prepared for all equipment, labor, and materials in connection with the following 5 subdivisions of the work to be performed:
(1) plumbing;
(2) heating, piping, refrigeration, and automatic
| | temperature control systems, including the testing and balancing of those systems;
|
| (3) ventilating and distribution systems for
| | conditioned air, including the testing and balancing of those systems;
|
| (4) electric wiring; and
(5) general contract work.
The specifications must be so drawn as to permit separate and independent bidding upon each of the 5 subdivisions of work. All contracts awarded for any part thereof shall award the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder on the general contract work or to the successful bidder on the subdivision of work designated by the construction agency before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided that all payments will be made directly to the contractors for the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the conditions of the contract.

Expenditure in excess of contract price.
(a) Germaneness. No funds in excess of the contract price
may be obligated or
expended unless the additional work to be performed or materials
to be furnished is germane to
the original contract. Even if germane to the original contract,
no additional expenditures or
obligations may, in their total combined amounts, be in excess of
the percentages of the original
contract amount set forth in subsection (b)
unless they have received the prior
written approval of the construction agency. In the event that
the total of the combined
additional expenditures or obligations exceeds the percentages of
the original contract amount set
forth in subsection (b), the construction
agency shall investigate all the
additional expenditures or obligations in excess of the original
contract amount and shall in
writing approve or disapprove subsequent expenditures or
obligations and state in detail the
reasons for the approval or disapproval.
(b) Written determination required. When the contract amount
is no more than
$75,000, the percentage shall be 9% (maximum $6,750). When the
contract amount is between
$75,001 and $200,000, the percentage shall be 7% of the amount
above $75,000 plus $6,750,
but not to exceed 7% of $200,000 (maximum $14,000). When the
contract amount is between
$200,001 and $500,000, the percentage shall be 5% of the amount
above $200,000 plus
$14,000, but not to exceed 5% of $500,000 (maximum $25,000). When
the contract amount
is in excess of $500,000, the percentage shall be 3% of the amount
above $500,000 plus
$25,000.
