PROCUREMENT-BID PREFERENCES

Amends the Illinois Procurement Code. Requires that each construction agency shall submit a report to the Governor and the General Assembly by December 1 (rather than September 1) of each year that identifies the Illinois businesses procured by the construction agency, the primary location of the construction project, the percentage of the construction agency's utilization of Illinois businesses on the project as a whole, and the actions that the construction agency has undertaken to increase the use of Illinois businesses. Provides that, in procuring construction, construction-related services, construction-related professional services, and construction support services (rather than construction and construction-related professional services) for projects with a total value that exceeds the small purchase maximum established by the Code, construction agencies shall provide a bid preference to a responsive and responsible bidder that is an Illinois business. Makes other changes.
