Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

65 ILCS 5/9-2-100

    (65 ILCS 5/9-2-100) (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-100)
    Sec. 9-2-100. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9-2-113, any work or other public improvement, to be paid for in whole or in part by special assessment or special taxation, when the expense thereof will exceed $10,000, shall be constructed by contract let to the lowest responsible bidder in the manner prescribed in this Division 2. Such contracts shall be approved by the president of the board of local improvements.
    In case of any work which it is estimated will not cost more than $10,000, if after receiving bids it appears to the board of local improvements that the work can be performed better and cheaper by the municipality, the corporate authorities of the municipality shall perform that work and employ the necessary help therefor. The cost of that work by the municipality in no case shall be more than the lowest bid received.
