50 ILCS 525/ Public Works Contract Change Order Act.

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.

Sec. 5. Change orders; bidding.

  If a change order for any public works
contract (i) is entered into by
a unit of local government or school district, (ii) is not procured in
accordance with the Illinois Procurement Code and the State Finance Act, and
(iii) authorizes or necessitates any increase in the contract price that is 50%
or more of the
original contract price or that authorizes or  necessitates any increase in the price of a subcontract under the contract that is 50% or more of the original subcontract price, then the portion of the contract that is covered by the
change order must be resubmitted
for bidding in the same manner for which the original contract was bid. Bidding
for the portion of the contract covered by the change order is subject to
any requirements to employ females and minorities on the public works project
that existed at the bidding for the original contract, together with any later
requirements imposed by law.
