11contracting agency or public institution of higher education
12and shall be given a period of 10 calendar days to cure the
13deficiency by contracting with additional subcontractors who
14are certified by the Business Enterprise Program or by
15increasing the work to be performed by previously identified
16vendors certified by the Business Enterprise Program.
17    Deficiencies that may be cured include: (i) scrivener's
18errors, such as transposed numbers; (ii) information submitted
19in an incorrect form or format; (iii) mistakes resulting from
20failure to follow instructions or to identify and adequately
21document good faith efforts taken to comply with the
22utilization plan; or (iv) a proposal to use a firm whose
23Business Enterprise Program certification has lapsed or is not
24yet recognized. Cure is not authorized if the bidder or
25offeror submits a blank utilization plan, a utilization plan
26that shows lack of reasonable effort to complete the form on

1time, or a utilization plan that states the contract will be
2self-performed, by a non-certified vendor, without showing
3good faith efforts or a request for a waiver. All cure activity
4shall address the deficiencies identified by the purchasing
5agency and shall require clear documentation, including that
6of good faith efforts, to address those deficiencies. Any
7increase in cost to a contract for the addition of a
8subcontractor to cure a bid's deficiency shall not affect the
9bid price and shall not be used in the request for an exemption
10under this Act, and, in no case, shall an identified
11subcontractor with a Business Enterprise Program certification
12made under this Act be terminated from a contract without the
13written consent of the State agency or public institution of
14higher education entering into the contract. The purchasing
15agency or public institution of higher education shall make
16the determination whether the cure is adequate.
17    Vendors certified with the Business Enterprise Program at
18the time and date submittals are due and who do not submit a
19utilization plan or have utilization plan deficiencies shall
20have 10 business days to submit a utilization plan or to
21correct the utilization plan deficiencies. Except as permitted
22under this Act or as otherwise mandated by federal law or
23regulation, in response those who submit bids or proposals for
24State contracts subject to the provisions of this Act, whose
25bids or proposals are successful but include a utilization
26plan that fails to demonstrate good faith efforts to meet the

1goals set forth in the solicitation of that deficiency and may
2allow the bidder or offeror a period not to exceed 10 calendar
3days from the date of notification to cure that deficiency in
4the bid or proposal. The deficiency in the bid or proposal may
5only be cured by contracting with additional subcontractors
6who are certified by the Business Enterprise Program at the
7time of bid submission. Any increase in cost to a contract for
8the addition of a subcontractor to cure a bid's deficiency or
9to ensure diversity participation on the contract shall not
10affect the bid price, shall not be used in the request for an
11exemption in this Act, and in no case shall an identified
12subcontractor with a certification made pursuant to this Act
13be terminated from the contract without the written consent of
14the State agency or public institution of higher education
15entering into the contract. Submission of a blank utilization
16plan renders a bid or offer non-responsive and is not curable.
17The Commission on Equity and Inclusion shall be notified of
18all bids or offers that fail to include a utilization plan or
19that include a utilization plan with deficiencies.

1    Section 40. The State Property Control Act is amended by
2changing Section 6.02 as follows:
 
3    (30 ILCS 605/6.02)  (from Ch. 127, par. 133b9.2)
4    Sec. 6.02. Each responsible officer shall maintain a
5permanent record of all items of property under his
6jurisdiction and control, provided the administrator may
7exempt tangible personal property of nominal value or in the
8nature of consumable supplies, or both; and provided further
9that "textbooks" as defined in Section 18-17 of The School
10Code shall be exempted by the administrator after those
11textbooks have been on loan pursuant to that Section for a
12period of 5 years or more. The listing shall include all
13property being acquired under agreements which are required by
14the State Comptroller to be capitalized for inclusion in the
15statewide financial statements. Each responsible officer shall
16submit a listing of the permanent record at least annually to
17the administrator in such format as the administrator shall
18require. The record may be submitted in either hard copy or
19computer readable form. The administrator may require more
20frequent submissions when in the opinion of the administrator
21the agency records are not sufficiently reliable to justify
22annual submissions.
23    As used in this Section, "nominal value" means the value
24of an item is $2,500 $1,000 or less. For the purposes of this
25definition, the value of the item shall reflect its

 

 

10200HB4285sam002- 79 -LRB102 21927 JDS 41992 a

1depreciated value, as determined by the administrator. The
2administrator may by rule set the threshold for "nominal
3value" at a higher amount. Nothing in this definition shall be
4construed as relieving responsible officers of the duty to
5reasonably ensure that State property is not subject to theft.

7    Section 45. The Criminal Code of 2012 is amended by
8changing Section 33E-9 as follows:
 
9    (720 ILCS 5/33E-9)  (from Ch. 38, par. 33E-9)
10    Sec. 33E-9. Change orders. Any change order authorized
11under this Section shall be made in writing. Any person
12employed by and authorized by any unit of State or local
13government to approve a change order to any public contract
14who knowingly grants that approval without first obtaining
15from the unit of State or local government on whose behalf the
16contract was signed, or from a designee authorized by that
17unit of State or local government, a determination in writing
18that (1) the circumstances said to necessitate the change in
19performance were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the
20contract was signed, or (2) the change is germane to the
21original contract as signed, or (3) the change order is in the
22best interest of the unit of State or local government and
23authorized by law, commits a Class 4 felony. The written
24determination and the written change order resulting from that

3only apply to a change order or series of change orders which
4authorize or necessitate an increase or decrease in either the
5cost of a public contract by a total of $25,000 $10,000 or more
6or the time of completion by a total of 180 30 days or more.
