7     Sec. 45-10. Resident bidders.
8     (a) Amount of preference. When a contract is to be awarded
9 to the lowest responsible bidder, a resident bidder shall be
10 allowed a preference as against a non-resident bidder from any
11 state that gives or requires a preference to bidders from that
12 state. The preference shall be equal to the preference given or
13 required by the state of the non-resident bidder. Further, if
14 only non-resident bidders are bidding, the purchasing agency is
15 within its right to specify that Illinois labor and
16 manufacturing locations be used as a part of the manufacturing
17 process, if applicable. This specification may be negotiated as
18 part of the solicitation process.
19     (b) Residency. A resident bidder is a person authorized to
20 transact business in this State and having a bona fide
21 establishment for transacting business within this State where
22 it was actually transacting business on the date when any bid
23 for a public contract is first advertised or announced. A
24 resident bidder includes a foreign corporation duly authorized
25 to transact business in this State that has a bona fide
26 establishment for transacting business within this State where
27 it was actually transacting business on the date when any bid
28 for a public contract is first advertised or announced.
29     (c) Federal funds. This Section does not apply to any
30 contract for any project as to which federal funds are

32 conflict with federal law or federal regulation.

1     (d) Rebid by resident bidder. When a contract is to be
2 awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and the lowest
3 responsible bidder, after the preference described in
4 subsection (a), if applicable, is granted, is a non-resident
5 bidder, then the State may award the contract to the lowest
6 responsible resident bidder who will rebid at the same amount
7 as or a lower amount than the lowest responsible non-resident
8 bidder. This subsection applies when the State is acting as a
9 market participant and not as a market regulator under the
10 Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
