AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4737
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4737 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Governmental Joint Purchasing Act is
amended by changing Section 4 as follows:
(30 ILCS 525/4) (from Ch. 85, par. 1604)
Sec. 4. Bids, offers, and small purchases. The purchases
of all personal property, supplies and services under this
Act, except for small purchases, shall be based on competitive
solicitations unless, for purchases made pursuant to
subsection (a) of Section 2 of this Act, it is the
determination of the applicable chief procurement officer that
it is impractical to obtain competition. Purchases pursuant to
this Section shall follow the same procedures used for
competitive solicitations made pursuant to the Illinois
Procurement Code when the State is a party to the joint

10300HB4737ham001 - 2 - LRB103 35707 HLH 71031 a
purchase. For purchases made pursuant to subsection (a) of
Section 2 of this Act where the applicable chief procurement
officer makes the determination that it is impractical to
obtain competition, purchases shall either follow the same
procedure used for sole source procurements in Section 20-25
of the Illinois Procurement Code or the same procedure used
for emergency purchases in Section 20-30 of the Illinois
Procurement Code. For purchases pursuant to subsection (a) of
Section 2, bids and offers shall be solicited by public notice
inserted at least once in a newspaper of general circulation
in one of the counties where the materials are to be used and
at least 5 calendar days before the final date of submitting
bids or offers, except as otherwise provided in this Section.
Where the State of Illinois is a party to the joint purchase
agreement, public notice soliciting the bids or offers shall
be published in the appropriate volume of the Illinois
Procurement Bulletin. Such notice shall include a general
description of the supplies or services to be purchased and
shall state where specifications may be obtained and the time
and place for the opening of bids and offers. The governmental
unit conducting the competitive procurement process may also
solicit sealed bids or offers by sending requests by mail to
potential contractors and by posting notices on a public
bulletin board in its office. Small purchases pursuant to this
Section shall follow the same procedure used for small
purchases in Section 20-20 of the Illinois Procurement Code.
