| 1 | | Section 11-135.5-25. The commission's bylaws, rules, and | 2 | | regulations shall provide for an alternative procedure for | 3 | | emergency procurement if an emergency makes it impracticable | 4 | | to follow the procedures in this subsection. | 5 | | (g) Alternative project delivery. A commission may use | 6 | | alternative project delivery methods if the commission | 7 | | determines it to be in the commission's best interest for a | 8 | | particular project. An alternative project delivery method may | 9 | | include, without limitation, design-build or | 10 | | construction-manager-at-risk. All notices for the procurement | 11 | | of goods, services, or work to be provided pursuant to an | 12 | | alternate delivery method shall include all requirements for | 13 | | the goods, services, or work to be procured. All awards of | 14 | | contracts or agreements for the procurement of goods, | 15 | | services, or work to be provided pursuant to an alternate | 16 | | delivery method shall be made on the basis of demonstrated | 17 | | competence and qualifications and with due regard for the | 18 | | principles of competitive selection. As part of an alternate | 19 | | project delivery procurement process, prior to submission of | 20 | | proposals, the commission may conduct meetings and exchange | 21 | | confidential information with proposers to promote | 22 | | understanding of the request for proposals, review alternative | 23 | | design concepts, or discuss other issues related to the | 24 | | procurement. | 25 | | As used in this subsection: | 26 | | "Construction-manager-at-risk" means a delivery method in |

Procedures for selection. | 16 | | (a) The commission must use a two-phase procedure for the | 17 | | selection of the successful design-build entity. Phase I of | 18 | | the procedure will evaluate and shortlist the design-build | 19 | | entities based on qualifications, and Phase II will evaluate | 20 | | the technical and cost proposals. | 21 | | (b) The commission shall include in the request for | 22 | | proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase I. These | 23 | | factors are in addition to any prequalification requirements | 24 | | of design-build entities that the commission has set forth. | 25 | | Each request for proposal shall establish the relative |
| | | HB2870 Enrolled | - 29 - | LRB102 14777 AWJ 20130 b |
|
| 1 | | importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, | 2 | | including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the | 3 | | commission. The commission must maintain a record of the | 4 | | evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest | 5 | | regarding the solicitation. | 6 | | The commission shall include the following criteria in | 7 | | every Phase I evaluation of design-build entities: (i) | 8 | | experience of personnel; (ii) successful experience with | 9 | | similar project types; (iii) financial capability; (iv) | 10 | | timeliness of past performance; (v) experience with similarly | 11 | | sized projects; (vi) successful reference checks of the firm; | 12 | | and (vii) commitment to assign personnel for the duration of | 13 | | the project and qualifications of the entity's consultants. | 14 | | The commission may include any additional relevant | 15 | | criteria in Phase I that it deems necessary for a proper | 16 | | qualification review. The commission may not consider any | 17 | | design-build entity for evaluation or award if the entity has | 18 | | any pecuniary interest in the project or has other | 19 | | relationships or circumstances, including, but not limited to, | 20 | | long-term leasehold, mutual performance, or development | 21 | | contracts with the commission, that may give the design-build | 22 | | entity a financial or tangible advantage over other | 23 | | design-build entities in the preparation, evaluation, or | 24 | | performance of the design-build contract or that create the | 25 | | appearance of impropriety. | 26 | | Upon completion of the qualifications evaluation, the |
| | | HB2870 Enrolled | - 30 - | LRB102 14777 AWJ 20130 b |
|
| 1 | | commission shall create a shortlist of the most highly | 2 | | qualified design-build entities. The commission, in its | 3 | | discretion, is not required to shortlist the maximum number of | 4 | | entities as identified for Phase II evaluation, provided that | 5 | | no less than 2 design-build entities nor more than 6 are | 6 | | selected to submit Phase II proposals. The commission shall | 7 | | notify the entities selected for the shortlist in writing. | 8 | | This notification shall commence the period for the | 9 | | preparation of the Phase II technical and cost evaluations. | 10 | | The commission must allow sufficient time for the shortlist | 11 | | entities to prepare their Phase II submittals considering the | 12 | | scope and detail requested by the commission. | 13 | | (c) The commission shall include in the request for | 14 | | proposal the evaluating factors to be used in the technical | 15 | | and cost submission components of Phase II. Each request for | 16 | | proposal shall establish, for both the technical and cost | 17 | | submission components of Phase II, the relative importance | 18 | | assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including | 19 | | any weighting of criteria to be employed by the commission. | 20 | | The commission must maintain a record of the evaluation | 21 | | scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the | 22 | | solicitation. | 23 | | The commission shall include the following criteria in | 24 | | every Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities: | 25 | | (i) compliance with objectives of the project; (ii) compliance | 26 | | of proposed services to the request for proposal requirements; |
| | | HB2870 Enrolled | - 31 - | LRB102 14777 AWJ 20130 b |
|
| 1 | | (iii) quality of products or materials proposed; (iv) quality | 2 | | of design parameters; (v) design concepts; (vi) innovation in | 3 | | meeting the scope and performance criteria; and (vii) | 4 | | constructability of the proposed project. The commission may | 5 | | include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors | 6 | | it deems necessary for proper selection. | 7 | | The commission shall include the following criteria in | 8 | | every Phase II cost evaluation: the total project cost; the | 9 | | construction costs; and the time of completion. The commission | 10 | | may include any additional relevant technical evaluation | 11 | | factors it deems necessary for proper selection. The total | 12 | | project cost criteria weighting factor shall not exceed 30%. | 13 | | The commission shall directly employ or retain a licensed | 14 | | design professional or a public art designer to evaluate the | 15 | | technical and cost submissions to determine if the technical | 16 | | submissions are in accordance with generally accepted industry | 17 | | standards. | 18 | | Upon completion of the technical submissions and cost | 19 | | submissions evaluation, the commission may award the | 20 | | design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity. | 21 | | (65 ILCS 5/11-135.5-65 new) | 22 | | Sec. 11-135.5-65. Small projects. In any case where the | 23 | | total overall cost of the project is estimated to be less than | 24 | | $12,000,000, the commission may combine the two-phase | 25 | | procedure for selection described in Section 11-135.5-60 into |
