Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(50 ILCS 510/5) (from Ch. 85, par. 6405)

Sec. 5. Evaluation Procedure.

A political subdivision shall, unless
it has a satisfactory relationship for services with one or more firms, evaluate
the firms submitting letters of interest, taking into account
qualifications, ability of professional personnel, past record and
experience, performance data on file, willingness to meet time 
requirements, location, workload of the firm,
						and such other qualifications-based factors as the
political subdivision may determine in writing are applicable.  The
political subdivision may conduct discussions with and require public
presentations by firms deemed to be the most qualified regarding their
qualifications, approach to the project, and ability to furnish the required services. In no case shall a political subdivision, prior to selecting a firm for negotiation under Section 7, seek formal or informal submission of verbal or written estimates of costs or proposals in terms of dollars, hours required, percentage of construction cost, or any other measure of compensation.
