SB3932 Summary

• Allows State construction agencies to procure construction and construction-related professional services through job order contracting using competitive sealed proposals instead of traditional sealed bidding.

• Requires construction task catalogs with preset unit prices based on local labor, material, and equipment costs, plus three adjustment factors for normal hours work, non-normal hours work, and non-prepriced tasks.

• Mandates State job order contracts include a 25% Business Enterprise Program (BEP) utilization goal and 3% Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) utilization goal based on vendor availability.

• Authorizes school districts to use request for proposals processes to procure construction services via job order contracts or indefinite quantity contracts, either directly or through municipalities, counties, or national joint purchasing programs.

• Expands the definition of "responsible bidder or offeror" in the Illinois Procurement Code to include offerors submitting proposals, not just traditional sealed bidders.
