|
| 1 | | offeror in performing its obligations under the management | 2 | | agreement. | 3 | | "Final offeror" means the offeror ultimately selected by | 4 | | the Governor to be the private manager for the Lottery under | 5 | | subsection (h) of this Section. | 6 | | (b) By September 15, 2010, the Governor shall select a | 7 | | private manager for the total management of the Lottery with | 8 | | integrated functions, such as lottery game design, supply of | 9 | | goods and services, and advertising and as specified in this | 10 | | Section. | 11 | | (c) Pursuant to the terms of this subsection, the | 12 | | Department shall endeavor to expeditiously terminate the | 13 | | existing contracts in support of the Lottery in effect on the | 14 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of the 96th General | 15 | | Assembly in connection with the selection of the private | 16 | | manager. As part of its obligation to terminate these contracts | 17 | | and select the private manager, the Department shall establish | 18 | | a mutually agreeable timetable to transfer the functions of | 19 | | existing contractors to the private manager so that existing | 20 | | Lottery operations are not materially diminished or impaired | 21 | | during the transition. To that end, the Department shall do the | 22 | | following: | 23 | | (1) where such contracts contain a provision | 24 | | authorizing termination upon notice, the Department shall | 25 | | provide notice of termination to occur upon the mutually | 26 | | agreed timetable for transfer of functions; |

|
| 1 | | (2) upon the expiration of any initial term or renewal | 2 | | term of the current Lottery contracts, the Department shall | 3 | | not renew such contract for a term extending beyond the | 4 | | mutually agreed timetable for transfer of functions; or | 5 | | (3) in the event any current contract provides for | 6 | | termination of that contract upon the implementation of a | 7 | | contract with the private manager, the Department shall | 8 | | perform all necessary actions to terminate the contract on | 9 | | the date that coincides with the mutually agreed timetable | 10 | | for transfer of functions. | 11 | | If the contracts to support the current operation of the | 12 | | Lottery in effect on the effective date of this amendatory Act | 13 | | of the 96th General Assembly are not subject to termination as | 14 | | provided for in this subsection (c), then the Department may | 15 | | include a provision in the contract with the private manager | 16 | | specifying a mutually agreeable methodology for incorporation. | 17 | | (c-5) The Department shall include provisions in the | 18 | | management agreement whereby the private manager shall, for a | 19 | | fee, and pursuant to a contract negotiated with the Department | 20 | | (the "Employee Use Contract"), utilize the services of current | 21 | | Department employees to assist in the administration and | 22 | | operation of the Lottery.
