|
| 6 |
| (70 ILCS 3605/32) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 332)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 32. The
The Board shall adopt regulations to insure |
| 8 |
| that the
construction or acquisition by the Authority of |
| 9 |
| services or public
transportation facilities (other than real |
| 10 |
| estate) involving a cost of more
than $10,000 and the |
| 11 |
| disposition of all property of the Authority shall be
after |
| 12 |
| public notice and with public bidding. The regulations may |
| 13 |
| provide
for exceptions to the requirements for the issuance and |
| 14 |
| sale of bonds or
notes of the Authority, to the acquisition of |
| 15 |
| professional or utility
services and to other matters for which |
| 16 |
| public bidding is disadvantageous. The
regulations may also |
| 17 |
| provide for the use of competitive negotiations or the
|
| 18 |
| prequalification of responsible bidders consistent with |
| 19 |
| applicable federal
regulations. The requirements set forth |
| 20 |
| therein shall not apply to
purchase of service agreements or |
| 21 |
| other contracts, purchases or sales
entered into by the |
| 22 |
| Authority with any transportation agency or unit of
local |
| 23 |
| government. |
