Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

(630 ILCS 10/15)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2032)
Sec. 15. Authorization of project delivery methods.
(a) Notwithstanding any other law, and as authority
supplemental to its existing powers, except as otherwise
provided for in this Act, the Transportation Agency, in
accordance with this Act, may use the design-build project
delivery method for transportation facilities if the capital
costs for transportation facilities delivered utilizing the
design-build project delivery method or Construction
Manager/General Contractor project delivery method or
Alternative Technical Concepts in a design-bid-build project
delivery method do not: (i) for transportation facilities
delivered by the Department, exceed the value of 20% $400

awarded during the Department's multi-year highway improvement
program on an annual basis for any 5-year period; or (ii) for

HB3177 - 2 - LRB104 10935 LNS 21017 b
transportation facilities delivered by the Authority, exceed

method for up to 2 transportation facilities per year. Before
commencing a procurement under this Act for either a
design-build contract or a Construction Manager/General
Contractor contract, the Transportation Agency shall first
undertake an analysis and make a written determination that it
is in the best interests of this State to use the selected
delivery method for that transportation facility. The analysis
and determination shall discuss the design-build project
delivery method or Construction Manager/General Contractor
project delivery method's impact on the anticipated schedule,
completion date, and project costs. The best interests of the
State analysis shall be made available to the public.
(b) The Transportation Agency shall report to the General
Assembly annually for the first 5 years after June 15, 2022
(the effective date of this Act) on the progress of
procurements and transportation facilities procured under this
Act.
(c) A contract entered into pursuant to the provisions of
this Act is excepted from the Public Contract Fraud Act.
