(330 ILCS 21/5) (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 17, 2023) Sec. 5. Legislative policy. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the Capital Development Board or the Department of Veterans' Affairs be allowed to use the design-build delivery method for public projects to renovate, restore, rehabilitate, or rebuild the Quincy Veterans' Home, if it is shown to be in the State's best interests for that particular project. It shall be the policy of the Capital Development Board and the Department of Veterans' Affairs in the procurement of design-build services to publicly announce all requirements for design-build services for the Quincy Veterans' Home and to procure these services on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications and with due regard for the principles of competitive selection. The Capital Development Board and the Department of Veterans' Affairs shall, prior to issuing requests for proposals, promulgate and publish procedures for the solicitation and award of contracts pursuant to this Act. The Capital Development Board and the Department of Veterans' Affairs shall, for each public project or projects permitted under this Act, make a written determination, including a description as to the particular advantages of the design-build procurement method, that it is in the best interests of this State to enter into a design-build contract for the project or projects. In making that determination, the following factors shall be considered: (1) The probability that the design-build procurement

method will be in the best interests of the State by providing a material savings of time or cost over the design-bid-build or other delivery system.

(2) The type and size of the project and its

suitability to the design-build procurement method.

(3) The ability of the State construction agency to

define and provide comprehensive scope and performance criteria for the project.

No State construction agency may use a design-build procurement method unless the agency determines in writing that the project will comply with the disadvantaged business and equal employment practices of the State as established in the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Women, and Persons with Disabilities Act and Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. The Capital Development Board or the Department of Veterans' Affairs shall, within 15 days after the initial determination, provide an advisory copy to the Procurement Policy Board and maintain the full record of determination for 5 years.

"Design professional" means any individual, sole proprietorship, firm, partnership, joint venture, corporation, professional corporation, or other entity that offers services under the Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989, the Professional Engineering Practice Act of 1989, the Structural Engineering Licensing Act of 1989, or the Illinois Professional Land Surveyor Act of 1989. "Evaluation criteria" means the requirements for the separate phases of the selection process as defined in this Act and includes the specialized experience, technical qualifications and competence, capacity to perform, past performance, experience with similar projects, assignment of personnel to the project, and other appropriate factors. Price may not be used as a factor in the evaluation of Phase I proposals. "Proposal" means the offer to enter into a design-build contract as submitted by a design-build entity in accordance with this Act. "Request for proposal" means the document used by the State construction agency to solicit proposals for a design-build contract. "Scope and performance criteria" means the requirements for the public project, including, but not limited to, the intended usage, capacity, size, scope, quality and performance standards, life-cycle costs, and other programmatic criteria that are expressed in performance-oriented and quantifiable specifications and drawings that can be reasonably inferred and are suited to allow a design-build entity to develop a proposal.
