| (a) The Capital
Development Board shall exercise general | 8 |
| supervision over school construction
projects financed | 9 |
| pursuant to this Article. General supervision includes the | 10 |
| procurement and administration of design and construction | 11 |
| contracts. In exercising general supervision, the Board (i) may | 12 |
| use alternative delivery methods as provided by law and (ii) | 13 |
| may exercise all powers relating to construction that are | 14 |
| granted to school districts under the School Code. The | 15 |

| Article, the Capital Development Board may provide advice and | 20 |
| assistance to a school district within the limits of the | 21 |
| Board's functions of general supervision. The purpose of | 22 |
| providing advice and assistance is to ensure that the project | 23 |
| will qualify for a grant should grant amounts become available, | 24 |
| particularly if the school district is providing its own | 25 |
| funding to commence or complete the project. | 26 |
| (c) Each school district that is awarded a grant under this | 27 |
| Article must enter into an inter-governmental agreement with | 28 |
| the Capital Development Board. The agreement shall set forth | 29 |
| the terms and conditions of the grant and the responsibilities | 30 |
| of the Board and the district. In addition, the agreement may | 31 |
| provide (i) that the school district shall perform some of the | 32 |
| general supervisory functions, with the approval of the | 33 |
| Executive Director of the Capital Development Board, (ii) that | 34 |
| the Capital Development Board may charge a grant or contract | 35 |
| administration fee not to exceed 1% of the contract amount, and |

complies with the | 30 |
| requirements of this Section and the rules adopted under
