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.
SCHOOLS (105 ILCS 5/) School Code. 105 ILCS 5/15A-25 (105 ILCS 5/15A-25) Sec. 15A-25. Procedures for selection. (a) The school district must use a 2-phase procedure for the selection of the successful design-build entity. Phase I of the procedure must evaluate and shortlist the design-build entities based on qualifications, and Phase II must evaluate the technical and cost proposals. (b) The school district must include in the request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase I. These factors are in addition to any prequalification requirements of design-build entities that the school district has set forth. Each request for proposal must establish the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the school district. The school district must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the solicitation. The school district must include the following criteria in every Phase I evaluation of design-build entities: (1) experience of personnel; (2) successful experience with similar project types; (3) financial capability; (4) timeliness of past performance; (5) experience with similarly sized projects; (6) successful reference checks of the firm; (7) commitment to assign personnel for the duration | | of the project and qualifications of the entity's consultants; and
|
| (8) ability or past performance in meeting or
| | exhausting good faith efforts to meet the utilization goals for business enterprises established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
|
| The school district may include any additional, relevant criteria in Phase I that it deems necessary for a proper qualification review.
The school district may not consider a design-build entity for evaluation or an award if the entity has any pecuniary interest in the project or has other relationships or circumstances, such as long-term leasehold, mutual performance, or development contracts with the school district, that may give the design-build entity a financial or tangible advantage over other design-build entities in the preparation, evaluation, or performance of the design-build contract or that create the appearance of impropriety. A design-build entity shall not be disqualified under this Section solely due to having previously been awarded a project or projects under any applicable public procurement law of the State. No proposal may be considered that does not include an entity's plan to comply with the requirements established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act, for both the design and construction areas of performance, and with Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
Upon completion of the qualification evaluation, the school district must create a shortlist of the most highly qualified design-build entities. The school district, in its discretion, is not required to shortlist the maximum number of entities as identified for Phase II evaluation if no less than 2 design-build entities nor more than 6 are selected to submit Phase II proposals. If a school district receives one response to Phase I, nothing herein shall prohibit the school district from proceeding with a Phase II evaluation of the single respondent, if the school district, in its discretion, finds proceeding to be in its best interest.
The school district must notify the entities selected for the shortlist in writing. This notification must commence the period for the preparation of the Phase II technical and cost evaluations. The school district must allow sufficient time for the shortlist entities to prepare their Phase II submittals considering the scope and detail requested by the school district.
(c) The school district must include in the request for proposal the evaluating factors to be used in the technical and cost submission components of Phase II. Each request for proposal must establish, for both the technical and cost submission components of Phase II, the relative importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the school district. The school district must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the solicitation.
The school district must include the following criteria in every Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities:
(1) compliance with objectives of the project;
(2) compliance of proposed services to the request
| | for proposal requirements;
|
| (3) quality of products or materials proposed;
(4) quality of design parameters;
(5) design concepts;
(6) innovation in meeting the scope and performance
| | (7) constructability of the proposed project.
The school district may include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems necessary for proper selection.
The school district must include the following criteria in every Phase II cost evaluation: the total project cost, the construction costs, and the time of completion. The school district may include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems necessary for proper selection. The total project cost criteria weighting factor may not exceed 30%.
The school district must directly employ or retain a licensed design professional or a public art designer to evaluate the technical and cost submissions to determine if the technical submissions are in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. Upon completion of the technical submissions and cost submissions evaluation, the school district may award the design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity.

Sec. 16-1.
Gifts - Vested in school board.
Whenever any grant, gift,
donation or legacy of real or personal property has been or shall be,
directly or indirectly, made to or for the use of any public school
district or attendance center and the deed, will or other
instrument by which such grant, gift, donation, or legacy is made
declares in terms or in substance that such property shall be held,
managed, improved and invested or otherwise disposed of for the use and
benefit of the public schools in such district or an individual attendance
center, the title to such property shall be vested in the school board of
such district for use in whatever manner the board shall choose and shall
be held, managed, improved, invested or disposed of by
such board in such manner as the board, in its discretion, sees fit;
provided, however, when the person making such a grant, gift,
donation, or legacy expresses in the instrument by which it was made an
intention that it shall be used for a certain purpose, the school board
shall promote and carry into effect such intention until the board
determines in its discretion that it is no longer possible, practical or
prudent to do so.
This Section does not apply in any case where the deed, will or other
instrument effectively vests the title and control of such property in a
trustee or grantee named in such instrument unless the trustee or grantee
is incapable of taking or administering the trust, or refuses or fails to
accept the trust, in which case the title and control thereof shall vest as
provided in the preceding paragraph.
This Section does not validate any legacy which but
for this enactment would have been invalid.

shall declare that title to such site is held for the joint use of such
districts according to the terms of such agreement, and such districts
shall be further authorized to construct, maintain and use a building
jointly for the benefit of the inhabitants thereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section:
(1) If legal title to the selected site is held in the name of the school
board of a school district that has agreed to the joint use of the site with
any other school districts, and if those other school districts are also
districts
whose school boards, under subsection (a) of Section 10-22.35B of this Code, are to hold legal
title to school buildings and school sites of the district, then upon the
execution of the agreement and payment of the compensation in accordance with
the terms of the agreement the school boards of the districts shall be deemed
to hold legal title to the site as tenants in common, and the required deed or
deeds of conveyance shall be executed and delivered by the president and
secretary or clerk of the school boards to reflect that legal title to the
selected site is held in that manner.
(2) If one more but not all of the school boards that are party to the
agreement are school boards that, under subsection (a) of Section 10-22.35B of this Code, are to
hold legal title to the school buildings and school sites of the district, the
interest in the selected site of each school board that is to hold legal title
to the school buildings and school sites of the district shall be that of a
tenant in common; and the required deed or deeds of conveyance shall be
executed and delivered by the president and secretary or clerk of the trustees
of schools of the township, regional board of school trustees, township land
commissioners, or school boards, as the case may be, to reflect that tenancy in
common interest of the appropriate school board or school boards with the
trustees of schools of the township, regional board of school trustees or
township land commissioners, as the case may be, in the legal title to the
selected site.
