Amends the School Code. With respect to school districts other than Chicago, requires that certain contracts involving an expenditure in excess of $25,000 or a lower amount as required by local policy (rather than $10,000) be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. Makes changes concerning the exceptions to this requirement, including an exception for contracts for services of corporations possessing a high degree of professional skill where ability and fitness play an important part, contracts for food services, and contracts for repair, maintenance, remodeling, renovation, or construction involving an expenditure not to exceed $50,000 (rather than $20,000). Provides that a school board must either award electricity contracts involving an expenditure in excess of $25,000 to the lowest responsible bidder or procure electricity through a request for proposals process similar to the process set forth in the Article of the School Code concerning school energy conservation. Provides that if a school district joins a utility consortium, then that consortium must either award electricity contracts involving an expenditure in excess of $25,000 to the lowest responsible bidder or procure electricity through a request for proposals process similar to the process set forth in the Article of the School Code concerning school energy conservation.
