AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Metropolitan Transit Authority Act is
amended by changing Section 32 as follows:
(70 ILCS 3605/32) (from Ch. 111 2/3, par. 332)
Sec. 32. The The Board shall adopt regulations to insure
that the construction or acquisition by the Authority of
services or public transportation facilities (other than real
estate) involving a cost of more than $10,000 and the
disposition of all property of the Authority shall be after
public notice and with public bidding. The regulations may
provide for exceptions to the requirements for the issuance and
sale of bonds or notes of the Authority, to the acquisition of
professional or utility services and to other matters for which
public bidding is disadvantageous. The regulations may also
provide for the use of competitive negotiations or the
prequalification of responsible bidders consistent with
applicable federal regulations. The requirements set forth
therein shall not apply to purchase of service agreements or
other contracts, purchases or sales entered into by the
Authority with any transportation agency or unit of local
government.
