|
|
| | HB1724 | - 2 - | LRB102 13872 RJF 19223 b |
|
|
| 1 | | (b) Subject to appropriation. All contracts made or |
| 2 | | entered
into shall recite that they are
subject to termination |
| 3 | | and cancellation in any year for which the
General Assembly |
| 4 | | fails to make
an appropriation to make payments under the |
| 5 | | terms of the contract. |
| 6 | | (c) The chief procurement officer shall file a proposed |
| 7 | | extension or renewal of a contract with the Procurement Policy |
| 8 | | Board prior to entering into any extension or renewal if the |
| 9 | | cost associated with the extension or renewal exceeds |
| 10 | | $249,999. The Procurement Policy Board may object to the |
| 11 | | proposed extension or renewal within 14 30 calendar days and |
| 12 | | require a hearing before the Board prior to entering into the |
| 13 | | extension or renewal. If the Procurement Policy Board does not |
| 14 | | object within 14 30 calendar days or takes affirmative action |
| 15 | | to recommend the extension or renewal, the chief procurement |
| 16 | | officer may enter into the extension or renewal of a contract. |
| 17 | | This subsection does not apply to any emergency procurement, |
| 18 | | any procurement under Article 40, or any procurement exempted |
| 19 | | by Section 1-10(b) of this Code. If any State agency contract |
| 20 | | is paid for in whole or in part with federal-aid funds, grants, |
| 21 | | or loans and the provisions of this subsection would result in |
| 22 | | the loss of those federal-aid funds, grants, or loans, then |
| 23 | | the contract is exempt from the provisions of this subsection |
| 24 | | in order to remain eligible for those federal-aid funds, |
| 25 | | grants, or loans, and the State agency shall file notice of |
| 26 | | this exemption with the Procurement Policy Board prior to |
|
| | HB1724 | - 3 - | LRB102 13872 RJF 19223 b |
|
|
| 1 | | entering into the proposed extension or renewal. Nothing in |
| 2 | | this subsection permits a chief procurement officer to enter |
| 3 | | into an extension or renewal in violation of subsection (a). |
| 4 | | By August 1 each year, the Procurement Policy Board shall file |
| 5 | | a report with the General Assembly identifying for the |
| 6 | | previous fiscal year (i) the proposed extensions or renewals |
| 7 | | that were filed with the Board and whether the Board objected |
| 8 | | and (ii) the contracts exempt from this subsection. |
| 9 | | (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of |
| 10 | | this Section, the Department of Innovation and Technology may |
| 11 | | enter into leases for dark fiber networks for any period of |
| 12 | | time deemed to be in the best interests of the State but not |
| 13 | | exceeding 20 years inclusive. The Department of Innovation and |
| 14 | | Technology may lease dark fiber networks from third parties |
| 15 | | only for the primary purpose of providing services (i) to the |
| 16 | | offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, |
| 17 | | Secretary of State, Comptroller, or Treasurer and State |
| 18 | | agencies, as defined under Section 5-15 of the Civil |
| 19 | | Administrative Code of Illinois or (ii) for anchor |
| 20 | | institutions, as defined in Section 7 of the Illinois Century |
| 21 | | Network Act. Dark fiber network lease contracts shall be |
| 22 | | subject to all other provisions of this Code and any |
| 23 | | applicable rules or requirements, including, but not limited |
| 24 | | to, publication of lease solicitations, use of standard State |
| 25 | | contracting terms and conditions, and approval of vendor |
| 26 | | certifications and financial disclosures. |
