Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

repaired by any county or counties of this State contiguous to the proposed
construction or repair, acting in conjunction with any county, municipality
or subordinate division of the adjoining state, as provided in this
Division of this Article. A bridge may likewise be constructed at the point
of intersection of any highway with the boundary line between this and any
adjoining state, or a bridge already constructed at such point may likewise
be repaired, as provided in this Division of this Article. A county shall
be deemed contiguous to such construction or repair if any part of such
county lies within 80 rods thereof. The total of the cost to be borne by
any county (or counties) of this State shall not exceed one-half of the

605 ILCS 5/10-204
(605 ILCS 5/10-204) (from Ch. 121, par. 10-204)
Sec. 10-204.
If a majority of the legal voters voting at such election on
such question, voted in favor of the proposition, the county clerk shall
issue (from time to time as the work progresses) a sufficient amount, in
the aggregate, of the bonds of such county for the purpose of assisting in
the construction or repair of any such bridge or bridges, as set forth in
this Division of this Article, and in accordance with the prayer of the
petition. Such bonds shall be of such denominations, upon such time, bear
such rate of interest (not exceeding the maximum rate authorized by the
Bond Authorization Act, as amended at the time of the making of the contract), and be
disposed of, as the
necessities and convenience of such county may require. However, such bonds
shall not be sold nor disposed of, either by sale or by payment to
contractors for labor or materials, for less than par value. Such bonds
shall be issued in not less than 5 nor more than 30 annual series, the
first series of which shall mature not more than 5 years from the date of
issue, and each succeeding series in succeeding years thereafter. A
register of all issues of such bonds shall be kept in the office of the
county clerk of such county, showing the date, amount, rate of interest,
maturity, and the purpose for which such bonds were issued, and it shall be
the duty of such county clerk, to extend annually against all the property
in such county, a tax sufficient to pay the interest of such bonds in each
year prior to the maturity of such first series, and thereafter he shall
extend a tax in each year sufficient to pay each series as it matures,
together with interest thereon and with the interest upon the unmatured
bonds outstanding. Such bonds may be lithographed and the interest for each
year evidenced by interest coupons thereto attached, which coupons shall be
signed with the original or facsimile signatures by the same officers who
executed the bonds.
With respect to instruments for the payment of money issued under this
Section either before, on, or after the effective date of this amendatory
Act of 1989, it is and always has been the intention of the General
Assembly (i) that the Omnibus Bond Acts are and always have been
supplementary grants of power to issue instruments in accordance with the
Omnibus Bond Acts, regardless of any provision of this Act that may appear
to be or to have been more restrictive than those Acts, (ii) that the
provisions of this Section are not a limitation on the supplementary
authority granted by the Omnibus Bond Acts, and (iii) that instruments
issued under this Section within the supplementary authority granted
by the Omnibus Bond Acts are not invalid because of any provision of
this Act that may appear to be or to have been more restrictive than
those Acts.

(605 ILCS 5/10-205) (from Ch. 121, par. 10-205)
Sec. 10-205.
The plans and specifications for the construction or repair of
any such bridge or bridges shall be approved by the county superintendent
of highways (or county superintendents of highways, in case two counties of
this State are assisting in such construction or repair), and by the
Department. The contract for any such work shall be let by the county board
(or county boards, in case two counties of this State are assisting in such
construction or repair), acting jointly with the corporate authorities of
the county, municipality, or other subordinate division of the adjoining
state. However, no contract shall be considered as let unless the
contractor shall within 15 days after the final award of same, file with
the county clerk of such county (or of each such county) a bond, with good
and sufficient sureties, in a sum equal to the part of the total cost which
that county is to bear, conditioned upon the faithful performance of such
contract.

605 ILCS 5/10-206
(605 ILCS 5/10-206) (from Ch. 121, par. 10-206)
Sec. 10-206.
If the cost of such construction or repair is $1,000 or less,
such county (or counties) shall not be liable for any part of such expense
until all the work has been fully completed, and has been accepted by the
county superintendent of highways (or by each county superintendent of
highways). Such official (or officials) shall certify such acceptance to
his county board (or to their respective county boards), and shall
accompany such certificate with an itemized statement of all expenditures
in such construction or repair.
If the total cost of the construction or repair exceeds $1,000, partial
payments not oftener than once a month, and not to exceed 90% of the work
actually completed, may be paid the contractor by the county (or counties).
No such partial payments shall be made unless approved by the county
superintendent of highways (or by each county superintendent of highways),
and no partial payments shall in any way be deemed an acceptance of the
work until such work has been fully completed and accepted by the county
superintendent (or by each county superintendent of highways) and such
acceptance certified as provided above.
