This document is a compilation of sections from the Illinois Compiled Statutes related to the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago. The document outlines various regulations and procedures regarding the purchase orders, contracts, and disqualification of individuals or business entities from doing business with the sanitary district. According to the document, any purchase order or contract executed in violation of the regulations outlined in the Act shall be null and void. The comptroller of the sanitary district is responsible for conducting audits of all expenditures related to purchase orders and contracts, and reporting the results to the president and board of trustees. The document also specifies that a person or business entity can be disqualified from doing business with the sanitary district for a period of 5 years if they have been convicted or admitted guilt to acts such as bribery, bid-rigging, price-fixing, or fraud. The disqualification also applies to individuals owning or controlling a significant portion of the business entity, members of its board of directors, or its agents, officers, or employees. The disqualification procedure involves the purchasing agent notifying the disqualified bidder of their disqualification and providing the reasons for it. A review board consisting of three individuals appointed by the General Superintendent of the Sanitary District is responsible for reviewing the disqualification and making a final determination. The disqualified bidder has the option to file an appeal and request a hearing, and the review board will consider the evidence presented before making a decision. The document also mentions that the final decisions of the review board can be subject to review under the Administrative Review Law. However, the Sanitary District has the discretion to do business with a disqualified person or business entity if it is determined to be in the best interest of the district, such as in cases where materials or services are only economically procurable from a single source.
