 7        (70 ILCS 2605/11.4) (from Ch. 42, par. 331.4)
 8        Sec.  11.4.  Contracts  which  by  their  nature  are not
 9    adapted to award by competitive bidding,  such  as,  but  not
10    only,  contracts for the services of individuals possessing a
11    high degree  of  professional  skill  where  the  ability  or
12    fitness  of the individual plays an important part, contracts
13    for the purchase or  sale  of  utilities  and  contracts  for
14    materials  economically  procurable only from a single source
15    of supply, and leases of real  property  where  the  sanitary
16    district is the lessee, and contracts that combine design and
17    construction  shall not be subject to the competitive bidding
18    requirements of this Act. The sanitary district is  expressly
19    authorized  to  procure  from  any  federal,  state  or local
20    governmental unit or agency such surplus materials, as may be
21    made available without conforming to the competitive  bidding
22    requirements  of  this  Act.  Regular  employment  contracts,
23    whether  classified  in  civil  service  or not, shall not be
24    subject to the competitive bidding requirements of this Act.
25        Contracts that combine design and  construction,  if  not
26    competitively  bid,  shall  be  let  according  to  a  formal
27    selection   process  established  by  rule.   That  selection
28    process shall: (i) require a published request for  proposals
29    (RFP);  (ii)  require  consideration  of  price,  but may not
30    require that price  be  the  sole  consideration;  and  (iii)
31    provide   that   the  final  selection  process  may  include
 
                            -2-                LRB9101162MWpr
