| 1 | | (70 ILCS 1205/8-54 new) | 2 | | Sec. 8-54. Procedures for design-build selection. | 3 | | (a) The park district must use a two-phase procedure for | 4 | | the selection of the successful design-build entity. Phase I of | 5 | | the procedure shall evaluate and shortlist the design-build | 6 | | entities based on qualifications, and Phase II will evaluate | 7 | | the technical and cost proposals. | 8 | | (b) The park district shall include in the request for | 9 | | proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase I. These | 10 | | factors are in addition to any prequalification requirements of | 11 | | design-build entities that the park district has set forth. | 12 | | Each request for proposal shall establish the relative | 13 | | importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, | 14 | | including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the park | 15 | | district. The park district must maintain a record of the | 16 | | evaluation scoring to be disclosed in the event of a protest | 17 | | regarding the solicitation. The park district shall include the | 18 | | following criteria in every Phase I evaluation of design-build | 19 | | entities: | 20 | | (1) experience of personnel; | 21 | | (2) successful experience with similar project types; | 22 | | (3) financial capability; | 23 | | (4) timeliness of past performance; | 24 | | (5) experience with similarly sized projects; | 25 | | (6) successful reference checks of the firm; |

No design-build proposal shall be considered that | 23 | | does not include an entity's plan to comply with the | 24 | | requirements concerning minority and women business | 25 | | enterprises and economically disadvantaged firms established | 26 | | by the corporate authorities of the park district and with |

The park district, in its discretion, is | 5 | | not required to shortlist the maximum number of entities as | 6 | | identified for Phase II evaluation, except that no less than 2 | 7 | | design-build entities nor more than 6 may be selected to submit | 8 | | Phase II proposals. The park district shall notify the entities | 9 | | selected for the shortlist in writing. This notification shall | 10 | | commence the period for the preparation of Phase II technical | 11 | | and cost evaluations. The park district must allow sufficient | 12 | | time for the shortlist entities to prepare their Phase II | 13 | | submittals considering the scope and detail requested by the | 14 | | park district. | 15 | | (c) The park district shall include in the request for | 16 | | proposal the evaluating factors to be used in the technical and | 17 | | cost submission components of Phase II. Each request for | 18 | | proposal shall establish, for both the technical and cost | 19 | | submission components of Phase II, the relative importance | 20 | | assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including any | 21 | | weighting of criteria to be employed by the park district. The | 22 | | park district must maintain a record of the evaluation scoring | 23 | | to be disclosed in the event of a protest regarding the | 24 | | solicitation. | 25 | | The park district shall include the following criteria in | 26 | | every Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities: |

The park district may include any | 16 | | additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems | 17 | | necessary for proper selection. The total project cost criteria | 18 | | weighing factor shall not exceed 30%. | 19 | | The park district shall directly employ or retain a | 20 | | licensed design professional or landscape architect design | 21 | | professional, as appropriate, to evaluate the technical and | 22 | | cost submissions to determine if the technical submissions are | 23 | | in accordance with generally accepted industry standards. | 24 | | Upon completion of the technical submissions and cost | 25 | | submissions evaluation, the park district may award the | 26 | | design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity. |
