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 510/6) (from Ch. 85, par. 6406)

Sec. 6.

Selection procedure.

On the basis of evaluations,
discussions and presentations, the political subdivision shall, unless it
has a satisfactory relationship for services with one or more firms, select no
less than 3 firms which it determines to be the most qualified to
provide services for the project and rank them in order of qualifications
to provide services regarding the specific project.  The political
subdivision shall then contact the firm ranked most preferred and attempt
to negotiate a contract at a fair and reasonable compensation, taking into
account the estimated value, scope, complexity, and professional nature of
the services to be rendered.
 If fewer than 3 firms submit letters of interest and the political
subdivision determines that one or both of those firms are so qualified,
the political subdivision may proceed to negotiate a contract pursuant to
this Section and Section 7.
