    AN ACT concerning State government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Procurement Code is amended by
changing Section 30-30 as follows:
 
    (30 ILCS 500/30-30)
    Sec. 30-30. Contracts in excess of $250,000. For building
construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate
specifications shall be prepared for all equipment, labor, and
materials in connection with the following 5 subdivisions of
the work to be performed:
        (1) plumbing;
        (2) heating, piping, refrigeration, and automatic
    temperature control systems, including the testing and
    balancing of those systems;
        (3) ventilating and distribution systems for
    conditioned air, including the testing and balancing of
    those systems;
        (4) electric wiring; and
        (5) general contract work.
    The specifications must be so drawn as to permit separate
and independent bidding upon each of the 5 subdivisions of
work. All contracts awarded for any part thereof shall award
the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and
reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these
classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the
construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder
on the general contract work or to the successful bidder on the
subdivision of work designated by the construction agency
before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided
that all payments will be made directly to the contractors for
the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the conditions
of the contract. A contract may be let for one or more
buildings in any project to the same contractor. The
specifications shall require, however, that unless the
buildings are identical, a separate price shall be submitted
for each building. The contract may be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder for each or all of the buildings included in
the specifications.
    Until a date 2 years after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, the requirements
of this Section do not apply to the construction of an
Emergency Operations Center for the Illinois Emergency
Management Agency if (i) the majority of the funding for the
project is from federal funds, (ii) the bid of the successful
bidder identifies the name of the subcontractor, if any, and
the bid proposal costs for each of the 5 subdivisions of work
set forth in this Section, and (iii) the contract entered into
with the successful bidder provides that no identified
subcontractor may be terminated without the written consent of
the Capital Development Board.
    Until a date 5 years after the effective date of this
amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, the requirements
of this Section do not apply to the Capitol Building HVAC
upgrade project if (i) the bid of the successful bidder
identifies the name of the subcontractor, if any, and the bid
proposal costs for each of the 5 subdivisions of work set forth
in this Section, and (ii) the contract entered into with the
successful bidder provides that no identified subcontractor
may be terminated without the written consent of the Capital
Development Board.
