SB3371 Summary

• Repeals Section 16 of the Capital Development Board Act, which previously authorized the Board to adopt rules for prequalification of architects, engineers, and contractors.

• Transfers prequalification authority for construction and construction-related services from the Capital Development Board to the appropriate chief procurement officer under the Illinois Procurement Code.

• Requires chief procurement officer approval of the Capital Development Board's written determination that design-build contracts are in the State's best interest before solicitation of design-build contracts.

• Modifies prequalification provisions across multiple procurement statutes (Illinois Procurement Code, Architectural Engineering and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection Act, and Design-Build Procurement Act) to vest authority in chief procurement officers rather than specific agencies.

• Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
