under this Section to dispose of or mortgage (i) the James R.

Elgin Mental Health Center and surrounding land located at 750
S. State Street, Elgin, Illinois in any of the following ways:
(1) The administrator may sell the property as provided in
subsection (b). (2) The administrator may sell the property as
provided in subsection (b), and, either as a condition of the
sale or the administrator may immediately thereafter enter into
a leaseback or other agreement that directly or indirectly
gives the State a right to use, control, and possess the
property. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a lease
entered into by the administrator under this subdivision (a)(2)
may last for any period not exceeding 99 years. (3) The
administrator may enter into a mortgage agreement, using the
property as collateral, to receive a loan or a line of credit
based on the equity available in the property. Any loan
obtained or line of credit established under this subdivision

(b) The administrator shall dispose of the property using a
competitive sealed proposal process that includes, at a
minimum, the following:
(1) Engagement Prior to Request for Proposal. The

SB0886 Enrolled - 3 - LRB100 08646 HLH 18780 b
administrator may, prior to soliciting requests for
proposals, enter into discussions with interested
purchasers in order to assess existing market conditions,
demands and likely development scenarios provided that no
such interested purchasers shall have any role in drafting
any request for proposals nor shall any request for
proposal be provided to any interested purchaser prior to
its general public distribution. The administrator may
issue a request for qualifications that requests
interested purchasers to provide such information as the
administrator reasonably deems necessary in order to
evaluate the qualifications of such interested purchasers
including the ability of interested purchasers to acquire
and develop the property, all as reasonably determined by
the administrator.
(2) Request for proposals. Proposals to acquire and
develop the property shall be solicited through a request
for proposals. Such request for proposals shall include
such requirements and factors as the administrator shall
determine are necessary or advisable with respect to the
disposition of the James R. Thompson Center, including
soliciting proposals designating a portion of the property
after the development or redevelopment thereof in honor of
Governor James R. Thompson.
(3) Public notice. Public notice of any request for
qualification or request for proposals shall be published

SB0886 Enrolled - 4 - LRB100 08646 HLH 18780 b
in the Illinois Procurement Bulletin at least 14 calendar
days before the date by which such requests are due. The
administrator may advertise the request in any other manner
or publication which it reasonably determines may increase
the scope and nature of responses to the request. In the
event the administrator shall have already identified
qualified purchasers pursuant to a request for
qualification process as set forth above, notice of the
request for proposals may be delivered only to such
qualified purchasers.
(4) Opening of proposals. Proposals shall be opened
publicly on the date, time and location designated in the
Illinois Procurement Bulletin, but proposals shall be
opened in a manner to avoid disclosure of contents to
competing purchasers during the process of negotiation. A
record of proposals shall be prepared and shall be open for
public inspection after contract award, but prior to
contract execution.
(5) Evaluation factors. Proposals shall be submitted
in 2 parts: (i) items except price, and (ii) covering
price. The first part of all proposals shall be evaluated
and ranked independently of the second part of all
proposals.
(6) Discussion with interested purchasers and
revisions of offers or proposals. After the opening of the
proposals, and under such guidelines as the administrator

SB0886 Enrolled - 5 - LRB100 08646 HLH 18780 b
may elect to establish in the request for proposals, the
administrator and his or her designees may engage in
discussions with interested purchasers who submitted
offers or proposals that the administrator determines are
reasonably susceptible of being selected for award for the
purpose of clarifying and assuring full understanding of
and responsiveness to the solicitation requirements. Those
purchasers shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with
respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of
proposals. Revisions may be permitted after submission and
before award for the purpose of obtaining best and final
offers. In conducting discussions there shall be no
disclosure of any information derived from proposals
submitted by competing purchasers. If information is
disclosed to any purchaser, it shall be provided to all
competing purchasers.
(7) Award. Awards shall be made to the interested
purchaser whose proposal is determined in writing to be the
most advantageous to the State, taking into consideration
price and the evaluation factors set forth in the request
for proposals. The contract file shall contain the basis on
which the award is made. The administrator shall obtain 3
appraisals of the real property transferred under
subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this Section, one of which
shall be performed by an appraiser residing in the county
in which the real property is located. The average of these

SB0886 Enrolled - 6 - LRB100 08646 HLH 18780 b
3 appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals,
shall represent the fair market value of the real property.
No property may be conveyed under subdivision (a)(1) or
(a)(2) of this Section by the administrator for less than
the fair market value. The administrator may sell the real
property by public auction following notice of the sale by
publication on 3 separate days not less than 15 nor more
than 30 days prior to the sale in a daily newspaper having
general circulation in the county in which the real
property is located. If no acceptable offers for the real
property are received, the administrator may have new

(3) A commitment from the purchaser to designate a
portion of the property after the development or
redevelopment thereof in honor of Governor James R.

(b-10) The administrator shall have authority to order such
surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title

or any other materials as the administrator may, in his or her
reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to demonstrate to

property under this Section shall be deposited into the General
Revenue Fund, provided that any obligations of the State to the
purchaser acquiring the property, a contractor involved in the
sale of the property, or a unit of local government may be
remitted from the proceeds during the closing process and need
not be deposited in the State treasury prior to closing.
(d) The administrator is authorized to enter into any
