Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

(a) Any purchase by a county with fewer than 2,000,000 inhabitants of
services, materials, equipment or supplies in excess of $30,000, other than
professional services, shall be contracted for in one of the following ways:
(1) by a contract let to the lowest responsible | | bidder after advertising for bids in a newspaper published within the county or, if no newspaper is published within the county, then a newspaper having general circulation within the county; or
|
|
(2) by a contract let without advertising for bids in
| | the case of an emergency if authorized by the county board.
|
|
(b) In determining the lowest responsible bidder, the county board shall
take into consideration the qualities of the articles supplied; their
conformity with the specifications; their suitability to the
requirements
of the county; the
availability of support services; the uniqueness of the service, materials,
equipment, or supplies as it applies to networked, integrated computer systems;
the compatibility to existing equipment;
and the delivery terms. In addition, the county board may take into consideration the bidder's active participation in an applicable apprenticeship program registered with the United States Department of Labor. The county board also may
take into consideration whether a bidder is a private enterprise or a
State-controlled enterprise and, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section or a lower bid by a State-controlled enterprise, may let a
contract to the lowest responsible bidder that is a private enterprise.
(c) This Section does not apply to contracts by a county with the federal
government or to purchases of used equipment, purchases at auction
or similar transactions which by their very nature are not suitable to
competitive bids, pursuant to an ordinance adopted by the county board.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, a county may let
without advertising for bids in the case of purchases and contracts, when
individual orders do not exceed $35,000, for the use, purchase, delivery,
movement, or installation of data processing equipment, software, or services
and
telecommunications and inter-connect equipment, software, and services.
(e) A county may require, as a condition of any contract for goods and
services,
that persons awarded a contract with the county and all affiliates of the
person

remit Illinois Use Tax on all sales of tangible personal property into the
State
of Illinois
in accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Use Tax Act regardless of
whether the
person or affiliate is a "retailer maintaining a place of business within this
State" as
defined in Section 2 of the Use Tax Act. For purposes of this subsection (e),
the term
"affiliate" means any entity that (1) directly, indirectly, or constructively
controls another
entity, (2) is directly, indirectly, or constructively controlled by another
entity, or (3) is
subject to the control of a common entity. For purposes of this subsection (e),
an entity
controls another entity if it owns, directly or individually, more than 10% of
the voting
securities of that entity. As used in this subsection (e), the term "voting
security" means a
security that (1) confers upon the holder the right to vote for the election of
members of
the board of directors or similar governing body of the business or (2) is
convertible into,
or entitles the holder to receive upon its exercise, a security that confers
such a right to
vote. A general partnership interest is a voting security.
(f) Bids submitted to, and contracts executed by, the county may require
a
certification by the bidder or contractor that the bidder or contractor is not
barred from
bidding for or entering into a contract under this Section and that the bidder
or contractor
acknowledges that the county may declare the contract void if the certification
completed
pursuant to this subsection (f) is false.
