Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Counties Code. In provisions regarding determination of the lowest responsible bidder in purchases by a county with fewer than 2,000,000 inhabitants for services, materials, and equipment, a local company that bids within 5% to 10% of the lowest bid, if that lowest bid is made by a non-local company, is the lowest responsible bidder. Provides that if more than one local company's bid is within 5% to 10% of the lowest bid made by a non-local company, the county board shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder among the local company bids. Defines "local company" as a company or business entity located within the contracting county or any contiguous county in the State that has the majority of its regular, full-time workforce located within the contracting county or contiguous county. Amends the Township Code. Makes similar changes in provisions concerning construction contracts and contracts for services, materials, equipment, or supplies. Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Makes similar changes in provisions concerning purchasing and public works contracts in municipalities of less than 500,000.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that in determining the lowest responsible bidder, a local company that bids no more than 10% higher than (rather than within 5% to 10% of) the lowest bid, if that lowest bid is made by a non-local company, is the lowest responsible bidder.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the introduced bill, as amended by House Amendment No. 1, with the following changes: provides that the new language does not apply to contracts for construction, which includes, but is not limited to, all work on public works involving laborers, workers, or mechanics, including maintenance, repair, assembly, or disassembly work performed on equipment whether owned, leased, or rented; and provides that "local company" means a company or business entity located within the contracting township or municipality or the county or counties in which the township or municipality is located (rather than any contiguous township or municipality) in the State that has the majority of its regular, full-time workforce located within the contracting township or municipality or the county or counties in which the township or municipality is located (rather than a contiguous township or municipality).

60 ILCS 1/205-105
