        Creates  the  Equitable  Construction   Act.   Requires   certain      
   provisions  concerning  notification of suspect physical conditions of      
   the surface or subsurface at the improvement  site,  investigation  of      
   the   improvement   site,   written  modification  of  time  and  cost      
   provisions, suspension of work, or termination of work to be  included      
   in  any  contract between a contractor and governmental entity, except      
   the  City  of  Chicago,  for  an  improvement  that  exceeds  $75,000.      
   Provides for  modification  of  the  contract  in  certain  instances.      
   Allows  the  contractor, in certain instances, to complete performance      
   of a contract and  later  maintain  a  cause  of  action  against  the      
   governmental entity to recover costs.  Provides that this Act shall be      
   enforced, to the extent possible, consistently with other laws, but in      
   the case of a conflict, this Act shall prevail.  Limits the concurrent      
   exercise  of  home  rule  powers.   Amends  the  State Mandates Act to      
   require implementation without reimbursement.  Effective immediately.
