ensure adequate competition and an expectation of reasonable prices on
bids or proposals within the class. Makes changes concerning deficiencies
in utilization plans that may be cured.

20
businesses owned by minorities, women, and persons with

22
all State contracts awarded to businesses owned by minorities,
23
women, and persons with disabilities pursuant to this Section,

8
persons with disabilities on State contracts. Such efforts
9
shall include, but not be limited to, further concerted
10
outreach efforts to businesses owned by minorities, women, and
11
persons with disabilities.

21
only expenditures to businesses owned by minorities, women,

useful function may be counted toward the goals set forth by

23
Enterprise Program.
24

Deficiencies that may be cured include
, but are not
25
limited to
: (i)

SB2653
- 6 -
LRB104 09811 HLH 22568 b

12
Cure is not authorized if the bidder or offeror submits a blank
13

reasonable effort to complete the form on time, or a
15
utilization plan that states the contract will be
16
self-performed, by a non-certified vendor, without showing
17
good faith efforts or a request for a waiver. All cure activity
18
shall address the deficiencies identified by the purchasing
19
agency
or public institution of higher education
and shall
20
require clear documentation, including that of good faith
21
efforts, to address those deficiencies. Any increase in cost
22
to a contract for the addition of a subcontractor to cure a
23
bid's deficiency shall not affect the bid price and shall not
24
be used in the request for an exemption under this Act, and, in
25
no case, shall an identified subcontractor with a Business
26
Enterprise Program certification made under this Act be
