(315 ILCS 30/13) (from Ch. 67 1/2, par. 91.113)
Sec. 13.
When a Department, as agent for the municipality, has acquired
title to, and possession of, all or any part of the real property located
within a redevelopment project pursuant to the provisions of this Act, it
may let contracts for the demolition or removal of buildings standing
thereon and for the removal of any debris resulting therefrom. The
Department shall advertise for sealed bids for the doing of such work. The
advertisement shall describe by street number or other means of
identification the location of the buildings which are to be demolished or
removed and shall state the time when and place where sealed bids for the
doing of the work may be delivered to the Department. The advertisement
shall be published once in a newspaper having a general circulation in the
municipality in which the real property is located at least twenty (20)
days prior to the date named therein when time for receiving bids will
expire. A contract for the doing of the work shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder, but the Department may reject any and all bids received
and re-advertise for bids. Any contract entered into by the Department
pursuant to this Section shall contain provisions requiring the contractor
to give bond in an amount equal to one-third of his bid price, but in no
event in excess of Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), conditioned
for the faithful performance of the contract and requiring the contractor
to furnish insurance of a character and amount to be determined by the
Department protecting the Department and the municipality and their
members, officers, agents and employees against any claims for personal
injuries (including death) and property damage that may be asserted because
of the doing of the work. The Department may include in any advertisement
and in the contract to be let pursuant thereto one or more buildings, or
such group of buildings, as the Department in its sole discretion may
determine.
