433433 2 notice in the Illinois Procurement Bulletin or in a
434434 3 newspaper of general circulation covering the location of
435435 4 the project at least once a week for 2 weeks stating that
436436 5 the responsible public entity has received a proposal and
437437 6 will accept other proposals for the same project. The time
438438 7 frame within which the responsible public entity may
439439 8 accept other proposals shall be determined by the
440440 9 responsible public entity on a project-by-project basis
441441 10 based upon the complexity of the transportation project
442442 11 and the public benefit to be gained by allowing a longer or
443443 12 shorter period of time within which other proposals may be
444444 13 received; however, the time frame for allowing other
445445 14 proposals must be at least 21 days, but no more than 120
446446 15 days, after the initial date of publication.
447447 16 (2) A copy of the notice must be mailed to each local

452452 21 of its contact person, to enable other private entities to

454454 23 (4) If, after no less than 120 days, no
455455 24 counterproposal is received, or if the counterproposals
456456 25 are evaluated and found to be equal to or inferior to the
457457 26 original unsolicited proposal, the responsible public

470470 3 (5) If, after no less than 120 days, one or more
471471 4 counterproposals meeting unsolicited proposal standards
472472 5 are received, and if, in the opinion of the responsible
473473 6 public entity, the counterproposals are evaluated and
474474 7 found to be superior to the original unsolicited proposal,
475475 8 the responsible public entity shall proceed to determine
476476 9 the successful participant through a final procurement
477477 10 phase known as "Best and Final Offer" (BAFO). The BAFO is a
478478 11 process whereby a responsible public entity shall invite
479479 12 the original private sector party and the proponent
480480 13 submitting the superior counterproposal to engage in a
481481 14 BAFO phase. The invitation to participate in the BAFO
482482 15 phase will provide to each participating proposer:
483483 16 (A) the general concepts that were considered
484484 17 superior to the original proposal, while keeping
485485 18 proprietary information contained in the proposals
486486 19 confidential to the extent possible; and
487487 20 (B) the preestablished evaluation criteria or the
488488 21 "basis of award" to be used to determine the
489489 22 successful proponent.
490490 23 (6) Offers received in response to the BAFO invitation
491491 24 will be reviewed by the responsible public entity and
492492 25 scored in accordance with a preestablished criteria, or
493493 26 alternatively, in accordance with the basis of award

505505 2 successful proponent will be the proponent offering "best
506506 3 value" to the responsible public entity.
507507 4 (7) In all cases, the basis of award will be the best
508508 5 value to the responsible public entity, as determined by
509509 6 the responsible public entity.
510510 7 (f) After a comprehensive evaluation and acceptance of an
511511 8 unsolicited proposal and any alternatives, the responsible
512512 9 public entity may commence negotiations with a proposer,
513513 10 considering:
514514 11 (1) the proposal has received a favorable
515515 12 comprehensive evaluation;
516516 13 (2) the proposal is not duplicative of existing
517517 14 infrastructure project;
518518 15 (3) the alternative proposal does not closely resemble
519519 16 a pending competitive proposal for a public-private
520520 17 private partnership or other procurement;
521521 18 (4) the proposal demonstrates a unique method,
522522 19 approach, or concept;
523523 20 (5) facts and circumstances that preclude or warrant
524524 21 additional competition;
525525 22 (6) the availability of any funds, debts, or assets
526526 23 that the State will contribute to the project;
527527 24 (7) facts and circumstances demonstrating that the
528528 25 project will likely have a significant adverse impact on
529529 26 on State bond ratings; and
