(a) Except as provided in subsection (c), whenever a responsible officer considers it advantageous to the State to dispose of transferable property by trading it in for credit on a replacement of like nature, the responsible officer shall report the trade-in and replacement to the administrator on forms furnished by the latter. The exchange, trade or transfer of "textbooks" as defined in Section 18-17 of the School Code between schools or school districts pursuant to regulations adopted by the State Board of Education under that Section shall not constitute a disposition of transferable property within the meaning of this Section, even though such exchange, trade or transfer occurs within 5 years after the textbooks are first provided for loan pursuant to Section 18-17 of the School Code. (b) Except as provided in subsection (c), whenever it is deemed necessary to dispose of any item of transferable property, the administrator shall proceed to dispose of the property by sale or scrapping as the case may be, in whatever manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable to the State. Items of transferable property which would ordinarily be scrapped and disposed of by burning or by burial in a landfill may be examined and a determination made whether the property should be recycled. This determination and any sale of recyclable property shall be in accordance with rules promulgated by the Administrator.

However such equipment shall not be sold at prices less than the purchase cost thereof or depreciated value as determined by the administrator. No sale of the electronic data processing equipment and lease to the State by the purchaser of such equipment shall be made under this Act unless the Director of Central Management Services finds that such contracts are financially advantageous to the State. Disposition of other transferable property by sale, except sales directly to local governmental units, school districts, and not-for-profit educational, charitable and public health organizations, shall be subject to the following minimum conditions: (1) The administrator shall cause the property to be

advertised for sale to the highest responsible bidder, stating time, place, and terms of such sale at least 7 days prior to the time of sale and at least once in a newspaper having a general circulation in the county where the property is to be sold.

(2) If no acceptable bids are received, the

administrator may then sell the property in whatever manner he considers most advantageous and most profitable to the State.

Those items may be sold to the public at library book sales or to book dealers or may be offered through exchange to book dealers or other organizations. Revenues generated from the sale of withdrawn items shall be retained by the agency in a separate account to be used solely for the purchase of library materials; except that in the case of the State Library, revenues from the sale of withdrawn items shall be deposited into the State Library Fund to be used for the purposes stated in Section 25 of the State Library Act. For purposes of this subsection (c), "library materials" means physical entities of any substance that serve as carriers of information, including, without limitation, books, serial publications, periodicals, microforms, graphics, audio or video recordings, and machine readable data files. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, the Director of State Police may dispose of a service firearm or police badge issued or previously issued to a retiring or separating State Police officer as provided in Section 17b of the State Police Act.

Agencies that desire to purchase new furniture shall first check with the administrator if any of the surplus furniture under the administrator's control can be used in place of new furniture. If an agency finds that it is unable to use the surplus property, the agency shall file an affidavit with the administrator prior to any purchase, specifying the types of new furniture to be bought, the quantities of each type of new furniture, the cost per type, and the total cost per category. The affidavit shall also clearly state why the furniture must be purchased new as opposed to obtained from the administrator's surplus. The affidavits shall be made available by the administrator for public inspection and copying. This Section applies only to the purchase of an item of furniture with a purchase price of $500 or more.

(30 ILCS 605/7.1) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.1) Sec. 7.1. (a) Except as otherwise provided by law, all surplus real property held by the State of Illinois shall be disposed of by the administrator as provided in this Section. "Surplus real property," as used in this Section, means any real property to which the State holds fee simple title or lesser interest, and is vacant, unoccupied or unused and which has no foreseeable use by the owning agency. (b) All responsible officers shall submit an Annual Real Property Utilization Report to the Administrator, or annual update of such report, on forms required by the Administrator, by July 31 of each year. The Administrator may require such documentation as he deems reasonably necessary in connection with this Report, and shall require that such Report include the following information: (1) A legal description of all real property owned by the State under the control of the responsible officer. (2) A description of the use of the real property listed under (1). (3) A list of any improvements made to such real property during the previous year. (4) The dates on which the State first acquired its interest in such real property, and the purchase price and source of the funds used to acquire the property. (5) Plans for the future use of currently unused real property. (6) A declaration of any surplus real property. On or before October 31 of each year the Administrator shall furnish copies of each responsible officer's report along with a list of surplus property indexed by legislative district to the General Assembly. This report shall be filed with the Speaker, the Minority Leader and the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the President, the Minority Leader and the Secretary of the Senate and shall be duplicated and made available to the members of the General Assembly for evaluation by such members for possible liquidation of unused public property at public sale. (c) Following receipt of the Annual Real Property Utilization Report required under paragraph (b), the Administrator shall notify all State agencies by October 31 of all declared surplus real property. Any State agency may submit a written request to the Administrator, within 60 days of the date of such notification, to have control of surplus real property transferred to that agency. Such request must indicate the reason for the transfer and the intended use to be made of such surplus real property. The Administrator may deny any or all such requests by a State agency or agencies if the Administrator determines that it is more advantageous to the State to dispose of the surplus real property under paragraph (d). In case requests for the same surplus real property are received from more than one State agency, the Administrator shall weigh the benefits to the State and determine to which agency, if any, to transfer control of such property. The Administrator shall coordinate the use and disposal of State surplus real property with any State space utilization program. (d) Any surplus real property which is not transferred to the control of another State agency under paragraph (c) shall be disposed of by the Administrator. No appraisal is required if during his initial survey of surplus real property the Administrator determines such property has a fair market value of less than $5,000. If the value of such property is determined by the Administrator in his initial survey to be $5,000 or more, then the Administrator shall obtain 3 appraisals of such real property, one of which shall be performed by an appraiser residing in the county in which said surplus real property is located. The average of these 3 appraisals, plus the costs of obtaining the appraisals, shall represent the fair market value of the surplus real property. No surplus real property may be conveyed by the Administrator for less than the fair market value. Prior to offering the surplus real property for sale to the public the Administrator shall give notice in writing of the existence and fair market value of the surplus real property to the governing bodies of the county and of all cities, villages and incorporated towns in the county in which such real property is located. Any such governing body may exercise its option to acquire the surplus real property for the fair market value within 60 days of the notice. After the 60 day period has passed, the Administrator may sell the surplus real property by public auction following notice of such sale by publication on 3 separate days not less than 15 nor more than 30 days prior to the sale in the State newspaper and in a newspaper having general circulation in the county in which the surplus real property is located. The Administrator shall post "For Sale" signs of a conspicuous nature on such surplus real property offered for sale to the public. If no acceptable offers for the surplus real property are received, the Administrator may have new appraisals of such property made. The Administrator shall have all power necessary to convey surplus real property under this Section. All moneys received for the sale of surplus real property shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund, except that: (1) Where moneys expended for the acquisition of such

real property were from a special fund which is still a special fund in the State treasury, this special fund shall be reimbursed in the amount of the original expenditure and any amount in excess thereof shall be deposited in the General Revenue Fund.

(2) Whenever a State mental health facility operated

by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund.

(3) Whenever a State developmental disabilities

facility operated by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, the net proceeds of the sale of the real estate shall be deposited into the Community Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.

The Administrator shall have authority to order such surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title insurance as may, in his reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and marketable title in any property offered for sale pursuant to this Section. Unless otherwise specifically authorized by the General Assembly, all conveyances of property made by the Administrator shall be by quit claim deed. (e) The Administrator shall submit an annual report on or before February 1 to the Governor and the General Assembly containing a detailed statement of surplus real property either transferred or conveyed under this Section.

(30 ILCS 605/7.2) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.2) Sec. 7.2. The Administrator, subject to the following conditions, shall have the authority to grant easements to public utilities. For purposes of this Act "public utility" means and includes every corporation, company, association, joint stock company or association, firm, partnership, individual, or other organization, their levees, trustees, or receiver appointed by any court whatsoever that owns, controls, operates, or manages, within this State, directly or indirectly, for public use, any plant, equipment, or property used or to be used for or in connection with, or owns or controls any franchise, license, permit, or right to engage in: a. the transportation of persons or property; b. the transmission of telegraph or telephone messages between points within this State; c. the production, storage, transmission, role, delivery, or furnishing of heat, cold, light, power, electricity, or water; d. the disposal of sewerage; or e. the conveyance of oil or gas by pipe line. A. Whenever any public utility makes an application for a grant of an easement in, over, or upon real property of the State of Illinois for purposes of locating and maintaining such utility, the Administrator, with the consent of the agency having jurisdiction over the real property, may grant such easement. The Administrator shall determine whether or not such is adverse to the interests of the State of Illinois and shall impose such limitations on the grant as may be deemed necessary to protect the interests of the State of Illinois. Such grant may be made with or without consideration. B. The instrument granting the easement shall provide for termination upon: 1. A failure to comply with any term or condition of the grant; or 2. A nonuse of the easement for a consecutive 2 year period for the purpose granted; or 3. An abandonment of the easement. Written notice of such termination shall be given to the grantee effective on the date of such notice. C. The authority granted by this Section shall be in addition to, and shall not affect or be subject to any law regarding granting of easements on State lands. (Source: P.A. 82-1047.)

(30 ILCS 605/7.3) (from Ch. 127, par. 133b10.3) Sec. 7.3. The Administrator shall have charge of all transferable property and shall have authority to take possession and control of such property in order to transfer or assign any such property to any other State agency that has need or use for such property or to dispose of said property in accordance with Section 7 of this Act. The Administrator may not dispose of a transferable airplane by sale until he or she determines that (i) the agency no longer has a need for the airplane, (ii) the airplane will not be used as a trade-in on another aircraft, and (iii) no public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane has listed the need for an airplane as provided in this Section. Responsible officers shall periodically report all transferable property at locations under their jurisdictions to the Administrator. The Administrator shall review such reports and arrange for physical examination of said property if necessary to determine if said items of transferable property should be transferred to another State agency, transferred to a central warehouse, or disposed of. The Administrator shall advise responsible officers of the results of these reviews as necessary. The staff under the jurisdiction of the Administrator shall review as necessary State agencies' inventories for potential items of transferable property. If in the opinion of the Administrator's staff, any property appears to be transferable, the Administrator shall notify the responsible officer of his determination. The executive head of the agency holding the property in question may appeal the determination in writing to the Administrator. The Administrator will review the determination in accordance with rules and procedures established pursuant to Section 5 of this Act. The Administrator shall maintain lists of transferable property and of State agency needs for such property and will transfer where appropriate listed transferable property to agencies listing their needs for such property as detailed by their responsible officers. The Administrator must give priority for transfer of an airplane, that is not to be used as a trade-in, to a public university or college in Illinois that offers courses in aviation, flight training, or other subjects involving knowledge of the workings of an airplane and that has listed the need for an airplane.

(30 ILCS 605/7.4) Sec. 7.4. James R. Thompson Center. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or any other law to the contrary, the administrator is authorized under this Section to dispose of the James R. Thompson Center located in Chicago, Illinois. The administrator may sell the property as provided in subsection (b), and, either as a condition of the sale or thereafter enter into a leaseback or other agreement that directly or indirectly gives the State a right to use, control, and possess the property. (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

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 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 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.

(b-5) Any contract to dispose of the property is subject to the following conditions:(1) A commitment from the purchaser to make any

applicable payments to the City of Chicago with respect to additional zoning density;

(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. Thompson.

(b-10) The administrator shall have authority to order such surveys, abstracts of title, or commitments for title insurance, environmental reports, property condition reports, or any other materials as the administrator may, in his or her reasonable discretion, be deemed necessary to demonstrate to prospective purchasers or bidders good and marketable title in and the existing conditions or characteristics of the property offered for sale under this Section. All conveyances of property made by the administrator under this Section shall be by quit claim deed.
