Board to achieve more energy efficiency in buildings than the
Illinois Energy Conservation Code through a consistent pathway
across the State. The Illinois Stretch Energy Code shall be
available for adoption by any municipality and shall set
minimum energy efficiency requirements, taking the place of
the Illinois Energy Conservation Code within any municipality
that adopts the Illinois Stretch Energy Code.
(b) The Illinois Stretch Energy Code shall have separate
components for commercial and residential buildings, which may
be adopted by the municipality jointly or separately.

(50 ILCS 20/2.5)
(Section scheduled to be repealed on June 1, 2023)
Sec. 2.5. Legislative policy; conditions for use of
design-build. It is the intent of the General Assembly that a
commission be allowed to use the design-build delivery method
for public projects if it is shown to be in the commission's
best interest for that particular project.
It shall be the policy of the commission in the
procurement of design-build services to publicly announce all
requirements for design-build services and to procure these
services on the basis of demonstrated competence and
qualifications and with due regard for the principles of
competitive selection.
The commission shall, prior to issuing requests for
proposals, promulgate and publish procedures for the
solicitation and award of contracts pursuant to this Act.
The commission 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 the commission 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 commission 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 design-build entity to define
and provide comprehensive scope and performance criteria
for the project.
The commission shall require the design-build entity to
comply with the utilization goals established by the corporate
authorities of the commission for minority and women business
enterprises and to comply with Section 2-105 of the Illinois
Human Rights Act.
This Section is repealed on July 1, 2025 June 1, 2023;
provided that any design-build contracts entered into before
such date or any procurement of a project under this Act
commenced before such date, and the contracts resulting from
those procurements, shall remain effective.

the procedure will evaluate and shortlist the design-build
entities based on qualifications, and Phase II will evaluate
the technical and cost proposals.
(b) The Commission shall include in the request for
proposal the evaluating factors to be used in Phase I. These
factors are in addition to any prequalification requirements
of design-build entities that the Commission has set forth.

Each request for proposal shall establish the relative
importance assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor,
including any weighting of criteria to be employed by the
Commission. The Commission must maintain a record of the
evaluation scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest
regarding the solicitation.
The Commission shall include the following criteria in
every Phase I evaluation of design-build entities: (1)
experience of personnel; (2) successful experience with
similar project types; (3) financial capability; (4)
timeliness of past performance; (5) experience with similarly
sized projects; (6) successful reference checks of the firm;
(7) commitment to assign personnel for the duration of the
project and qualifications of the entity's consultants; and
(8) ability or past performance in meeting or exhausting good
faith efforts to meet the utilization goals for minority and
women business enterprises established by the corporate
authorities of the Commission and in complying with Section
2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act. The Commission may
include any additional relevant criteria in Phase I that it
deems necessary for a proper qualification review.
The Commission may not consider any design-build entity
for evaluation or award if the entity has any pecuniary
interest in the project or has other relationships or
circumstances, including but not limited to, long-term
leasehold, mutual performance, or development contracts with

the Commission, that may give the design-build entity a
financial or tangible advantage over other design-build
entities in the preparation, evaluation, or performance of the
design-build contract or that create the appearance of
impropriety. No design-build proposal shall be considered that
does not include an entity's plan to comply with the
requirements established in the minority and women business
enterprises and economically disadvantaged firms established
by the corporate authorities of the Commission and with
Section 2-105 of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
Upon completion of the qualifications evaluation, the
Commission shall create a shortlist of the most highly
qualified design-build entities. The Commission, in its

entities as identified for Phase II evaluation, provided
however, no less than 2 design-build entities nor more than 6
are selected to submit Phase II proposals.
The Commission shall notify the entities selected for the
shortlist in writing. This notification shall commence the
period for the preparation of the Phase II technical and cost
evaluations. The Commission must allow sufficient time for the
shortlist entities to prepare their Phase II submittals
considering the scope and detail requested by the Commission.
(c) The Commission shall include in the request for
proposal the evaluating factors to be used in the technical
and cost submission components of Phase II. Each request for

proposal shall establish, for both the technical and cost
submission components of Phase II, the relative importance
assigned to each evaluation factor and subfactor, including
any weighting of criteria to be employed by the Commission.
The Commission must maintain a record of the evaluation
scoring to be disclosed in event of a protest regarding the
solicitation.
The Commission shall include the following criteria in
every Phase II technical evaluation of design-build entities:
(1) compliance with objectives of the project; (2) compliance
of proposed services to the request for proposal requirements;
(3) quality of products or materials proposed; (4) quality of
design parameters; (5) design concepts; (6) innovation in
meeting the scope and performance criteria; and (7)
constructability of the proposed project. The Commission may
include any additional relevant technical evaluation factors
it deems necessary for proper selection.
The Commission shall include the following criteria in
every Phase II cost evaluation: the guaranteed maximum project
cost and the time of completion. The Commission may include
any additional relevant technical evaluation factors it deems
necessary for proper selection. The guaranteed maximum project
cost criteria weighing factor shall not exceed 30%.
The Commission shall directly employ or retain a licensed
design professional to evaluate the technical and cost
submissions to determine if the technical submissions are in

accordance with generally accepted industry standards.
Upon completion of the technical submissions and cost
submissions evaluation, the Commission may award the
design-build contract to the highest overall ranked entity.
(d) This Section is repealed on July 1, 2025 June 1, 2023;
provided that any design-build contracts entered into before
such date or any procurement of a project under this Act
commenced before such date, and the contracts resulting from
those procurements, shall remain effective.
