    Creates the Innovations for Transportation Infrastructure Act. Provides that the Department of Transportation may use design-build project delivery methods, Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery methods, or Alternative Technical Concepts for design-bid-build project delivery of transportation facilities, provided that the delivery method does not exceed 20% of the Department's multi-year highway improvement program, with no one year exceeding 30%. Provides that the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority may use design-build project delivery methods, Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery methods, or Alternative Technical Concepts for design-bid-build project delivery of transportation facilities if the facilities delivered do not exceed 20% of the Authority's annual improvement program. Places limits on the number of projects that the Department may use the various methods on. Provides that during the first phase of the two-phase procurement, the Transportation Agency (Department of Transportation or the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority) shall not consider price proposals to make its short-list decision. Provides that at least half of the evaluation committee used to assist in selecting design-build and Construction Manager/General Contractor contracts shall consist of licensed design professionals. Provides the Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection Act does not apply to procurements under the new Act. Contains provisions concerning the procurement process and terms of design-build and construction manager-general contractor contracts. Provides that the Transportation Agency has eminent domain and quick take powers under the Act. Amends the Illinois Procurement Code and the Public Construction Bond Act. Makes conforming changes.

HB2755- 9 -LRB100 11099 AXK 21360 b

1    (1) the Transportation Agency does one of the following:
2        (A) the Transportation Agency includes the
3    transportation facility in the Transportation Agency's
4    respective multi-year highway improvement program and
5    designates it as a design-build project delivery method
6    project or Construction Manager/General Contractor
7    project;
8        (B) the Transportation Agency has issued a notice of
9    intent to receive qualifications, that includes a
10    description of the proposed procurement and transportation
11    facility, at least 14 days prior to the issuance of the
12    request for qualifications, and for a Department issued
13    notice of intent shall publish the notice in the Illinois
14    Transportation Procurement Bulletin and for an Authority
15    issued notice of intent shall publish the notice in the
16    Illinois Procurement Bulletin; or
17        (C) for a single phase procurement authorized under
18    subsection (a) of Section 25 of this Act, the

HB2755- 10 -LRB100 11099 AXK 21360 b

1    (2) the Transportation Agency shall use its best efforts to
2ensure that the transportation facility is consistent with the
3regional plan in existence at the time of any metropolitan
4planning organization in which the boundaries of the
5transportation facility is located, or any other
6publicly-approved plan.
 
7    Section 25. Procurement process.
8    (a) The Transportation Agency may solicit a proposer with
9which to enter into a design-build contract or Construction
10Manager/General Contractor contract, as applicable, by using,
11without limitation, one or more requests for qualifications,
12short-listing of the most highly qualified proposers, requests
13for proposals, and negotiations. The Transportation Agency
14shall use a two-phase procurement for a design-build contract
15to select the successful proposer; provided that the
16Transportation Agency may use a single phase procurement if the
17transportation facility is estimated to cost less than
18$5,000,000 or the Secretary or the Executive Director makes a
19written determination that the Transportation Agency may use a
20single phase procurement for a particular transportation
21facility. In a two-phase procurement, the Transportation
22Agency shall use the first phase to evaluate and short-list the
23most highly qualified proposers based on a proposer's
24qualifications, and then use the second phase to evaluate and
25select a proposer based on proposals submitted by the

 

 

HB2755- 11 -LRB100 11099 AXK 21360 b

1short-listed proposers. During the first phase of a two-phase
2procurement, the Transportation Agency shall not consider
3price proposals to make its short-list decision. In a single
4phase procurement, the Transportation Agency shall solicit
5proposers with a request for proposals, and shall evaluate and
6select a proposer based on those proposals.
7    (b) The request for qualifications may contain any
8information deemed appropriate by the Transportation Agency
9including, without limitation, the following information:
10        (1) the anticipated scope of work for the
11    transportation facility;
12        (2) a requirement that the proposer identify certain

15    conditions on which identified personnel and firms can be
16    replaced;
17        (3) the evaluation criteria for the qualifications and
18    the relative importance of those criteria; these
19    evaluation criteria may address, without limitation, the
20    proposer's technical and financial qualifications, such as
21    specialized experience, technical competence, capability
22    to perform, financial capacity, the proposer's workload,
23    local office presence, past performance, including the
24    proposer's safety record, and any other
25    qualifications-based factors;
26        (4) the Transportation Agency's prequalification,

 

 

HB2755- 12 -LRB100 11099 AXK 21360 b

2    requirements from the Professional Engineering Practice
3    Act of 1989, the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of
4    1989, the Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989, and
5    the Illinois Professional Land Surveyor Act of 1989,

16Transportation Agency shall, based on the evaluation criteria
17set forth in the request for qualifications, create a
18short-list of the most highly qualified proposers. The
19Transportation Agency shall short-list no more than 5 and no
20fewer than 2 of the most highly qualified proposers.
21Notwithstanding other provisions of this subsection (c), the
22Transportation Agency may short-list fewer than 2 proposers if
23the Secretary or the Executive Director make a finding that an
24emergency situation justifies the limited short-listing and
25fewer than 2 proposers meet any applicable prequalification or
26pass/fail requirements set forth in the request for

 

 

HB2755- 13 -LRB100 11099 AXK 21360 b

3contained in the recipient's design for the transportation
4facility.
5    (h) The Transportation Agency shall, as appropriate
6depending on whether the transportation facility includes
7building facilities, directly employ or retain a professional
8engineer or engineers licensed in this State or a licensed
9architect or architects, or both engineers licensed in this
10State and licensed architects, to prepare the scope and assist
11in the evaluation of the proposals' technical submissions under
12a design-build project delivery method. The professional
13engineers and licensed architects performing these services
14are generally precluded from participating in the procurement
15of the transportation facility at issue as a member of a
16proposer team.
17    (i) The Transportation Agency shall have the right to
18reject any and all qualifications or proposals, including, but
19not limited to, the right to reject any qualifications or
20proposals as non-responsive if, in the Transportation Agency's
21sole discretion, the qualifications or proposals do not meet
