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.
(70 ILCS 605/6-1) (from Ch. 42, par. 6-1)
Sec. 6-1.
Advertising for Bids on Construction Work and Purchases.
Whenever the cost of any work to be performed by the district or the
cost of any machinery, equipment, materials or supplies to be purchased
by the district will exceed $20,000, the commissioners shall advertise
for sealed bids for the performance of such work or the furnishing of
such machinery, equipment, materials or supplies by publishing a notice
in a newspaper published or having general circulation in the county in
which the district was organized not less than once each week for 3
successive weeks. The first such publication shall be made not less than
17 days prior to the date set for opening the bids. The notice shall
particularly set out the time when and the place where the bids will be
opened, the nature of the work to be performed or the machinery,
equipment, materials or supplies to be purchased and the terms of
payment. The commissioners may reject any and all bids, may waive any
informality in bids received and may continue the letting from time to
time. The commissioners may accept any bid they deem most favorable, but
if the bid accepted is not the lowest bid, they shall enter in their
minutes their reason for not accepting the lower bid or bids. If any
person to whom a contract has been let after notice as herein required
fails to perform his contract, the same may be relet in such a manner as
the commissioners deem best, with or without advertisement for bids.
The provisions of this Section, however, shall not apply to the
contracting, letting or doing of any repair or maintenance work the cost
of which will be payable from the annual maintenance fund of the
district.
