| modifications to the original contract. All contracts, change | 2 |
| orders, and contract amendments shall be subject to approval by | 3 |
| the Capital Development Board or its designee. Nothing in this | 4 |
| subsection shall be construed as a limitation on the | 5 |
| supervisory power of the Capital Development Board or any other | 6 |
| power granted to the Capital Development Board under this or | 7 |
| any other Act. | 8 |
| (b) In anticipation of an award of a grant under this | 9 |
| Article, the Capital Development Board may provide advice and | 10 |
| assistance to a school district within the limits of the | 11 |
| Board's functions of general supervision. The purpose of | 12 |
| providing advice and assistance is to ensure that the project | 13 |
| will qualify for a grant should grant amounts become available, | 14 |
| particularly if the school district is providing its own | 15 |
| funding to commence or complete the project. | 16 |
| (c) Upon approval by the school district, the Board may (i) | 17 |
| use alternative delivery methods as provided by law and (ii) | 18 |
| may exercise all powers relating to construction that are | 19 |
| granted to school districts under the School Code. The design | 20 |
| contract and workforce hiring goals adopted by the Board under | 21 |
| the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females, and Persons | 22 |

| Section. | 24 |
| (d) The Capital Development Board may charge a grant or | 25 |
| contract administration fee that does not exceed 1% of the | 26 |
| contract amount and that shall not diminish the matching grant | 27 |
| awarded to the school district.

| 16 |
| (a) The Capital Development
State Board of Education is | 17 |
| authorized to make grants to school
districts, without regard | 18 |
| to enrollment, for school maintenance projects.
These grants | 19 |
| shall be paid out of moneys appropriated for that purpose
from | 20 |
| the School Infrastructure Fund. No grant under this Section for
| 21 |
| one fiscal year shall exceed $50,000, but a school district may | 22 |
| receive grants
for more than one project during one fiscal | 23 |
| year. A school district must
provide local
matching funds in an | 24 |
| amount equal to the amount of the grant under this
Section. A | 25 |
| school district has no entitlement to a grant under this | 26 |
| Section.
| 27 |
| (b) The Capital Development
State Board of Education shall | 28 |
| adopt rules to implement this
Section. These rules need not be | 29 |
| the same as the rules for school construction
project grants or | 30 |
| debt service grants.
| 31 |
| The rules may specify: (1) the manner of applying for | 32 |
| grants;
(2) project eligibility requirements; (3) restrictions |

grant moneys; and (5) any | 3 |
| other provision that the Capital Development
State Board | 4 |
| determines
to be necessary or useful for the administration of | 5 |
| this Section.
| 6 |
| The rules shall specify the methods and standards to be | 7 |
| used by the Capital Development
State
Board to prioritize | 8 |
| applications. School maintenance projects shall be
prioritized | 9 |
| in the following order:
| 10 |
| (i) emergency projects;
| 11 |
| (ii) health/life safety projects;
| 12 |
| (iii) State Program priority projects;
| 13 |
| (iv) permanent improvement projects; and
| 14 |
| (v) other projects.
| 15 |
| (c) In each school year in which school maintenance project | 16 |
| grants are
awarded, 20% of the total amount awarded shall be | 17 |
| awarded to a school district
with a population of more than | 18 |
| 500,000, provided that the school district
complies with the | 19 |
| requirements of this Section and the rules adopted under
this | 20 |
| Section.
