4 Section 1. Short title. This Act may be cited as the
5 Public Works Contract Change Order Act.
6 Section 5. Change orders; bidding. If a change order
7 for any public works contract entered into by the State, a
8 unit of local government, or a school district authorizes or
9 necessitates any increase in the contract price that is 25%
10 or more of the original contract price, the portion of the
11 contract that is covered by the change order must be
12 resubmitted for bidding in the same manner for which the
13 original contract was bid. Bidding for the portion of the
14 contract covered by the change order is subject to any
15 requirements to employ females and minorities on the public
16 works project that existed at the bidding for the original
17 contract, together with any later requirements imposed by
18 law.
