6     (30 ILCS 500/30-30)
7     Sec. 30-30. Contracts in excess of $250,000. For building
8 construction contracts in excess of $250,000, separate
9 specifications shall be prepared for all equipment, labor, and

1 the 5 subdivisions of work separately to responsible and
2 reliable persons, firms, or corporations engaged in these
3 classes of work. The contracts, at the discretion of the
4 construction agency, may be assigned to the successful bidder
5 on the general contract work or to the successful bidder on the
6 subdivision of work designated by the construction agency
7 before the bidding as the prime subdivision of work, provided
8 that all payments will be made directly to the contractors for
9 the 5 subdivisions of work upon compliance with the conditions
10 of the contract. A contract may be let for one or more
11 buildings in any project to the same contractor. The
12 specifications shall require, however, that unless the
13 buildings are identical, a separate price shall be submitted
14 for each building. The contract may be awarded to the lowest
15 responsible bidder for each or all of the buildings included in
16 the specifications.
17     Until a date 4 3 years after January 1, 2010 (the effective
18 date of Public Act 95-758) this amendatory Act of the 95th
19 General Assembly, the requirements of this Section do not apply

22 at least $20,000,000; (ii) the Capital Development Board has
23 submitted to the Procurement Policy Board a written request for
24 a public hearing on waiver of the application of the

26 reasons for seeking the waiver and why the waiver is in the

6 reviews and approves the request in writing before the award of
7 the contract; (v) the successful low bidder has prequalified

11 subdivisions of work set forth in this Section; and (vii) the
12 contract entered into with the successful bidder provides that
13 no identified subcontractor may be terminated without the
14 written consent of the Capital Development Board. With respect
15 to any construction project described in this paragraph, the

17 General an affidavit that the waiver of the application of the
18 requirements of this Section is in the best interest of the
