2     AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 1621 on page 1, by
3 replacing lines 4 and 5 with the following:

7     Sec. 30-30. Contracts in excess of $250,000. For building
8 construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate
9 specifications shall be prepared for all equipment, labor, and

1     conditioned air, including the testing and balancing of
2     those systems;
3         (4) electric wiring; and
4         (5) general contract work.
5     The specifications must be so drawn as to permit separate
6 and independent bidding upon each of the 5 subdivisions of
7 work. All contracts awarded for any part thereof shall award
8 the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and
9 reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these
10 classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the
11 construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder
12 on the general contract work or to the successful bidder on the
13 subdivision of work designated by the construction agency
14 before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided
15 that all payments will be made directly to the contractors for
16 the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the conditions
17 of the contract. A contract may be let for one or more
18 buildings in any project to the same contractor. The
19 specifications shall require, however, that unless the
20 buildings are identical, a separate price shall be submitted
21 for each building. The contract may be awarded to the lowest
22 responsible bidder for each or all of the buildings included in
23 the specifications.
24     Until a date 3 years after the effective date of this
25 amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly, the requirements
26 of this Section do not apply to a construction project for

18 in this Section; and (vii) the contract entered into with the
19 successful bidder provides that no identified subcontractor
20 may be terminated without the written consent of the Capital
21 Development Board. With respect to any construction project
