 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-105)Sec. 9-2-105.         Except as otherwise provided in Section 9-2-113, the board of  local improvements may reject any and all proposals or bids, should they  deem it best for the public good. If the board is of the opinion that a  combination exists between contractors, either to limit the number of  bidders, or to increase the contract price, and that the lowest bid is made  in pursuance thereof, the board shall reject all proposals or bids. The  board may reject the bid of any party who has been delinquent or unfaithful  in any former contract with the municipality. It shall reject all proposals  or bids other than the lowest regular proposals or bids of any responsible  bidder and may award the contract for the specified work or improvement to  the lowest responsible bidder at the prices named in his bid. Such an award  shall be recorded in the record of its proceedings. Such an award, if any,  shall be made within 20 days after the time fixed for receiving bids.If no award is made within that time, another advertisement for  proposals or bids for the performance of the work, as in the first  instance, shall be made, and thereafter the board shall proceed in the  manner above provided in this Division 2. Such a re-advertisement shall be  deemed a rejection of all former bids, and thereupon the respective checks  and bonds corresponding to the bids so rejected shall be returned to the  proper parties. However, the check accompanying any accepted proposal or  bid shall be retained in the possession of the president of the board until  the contract for doing the work, as hereinafter provided, has been entered  into either by the lowest responsible bidder or by the owners of a majority  of the frontage, whereupon the certified check shall be returned to the  bidder. But if that bidder fails, neglects, or refuses to enter into a  contract to perform that work or improvement, as provided in this Division  2, the certified check accompanying his bid and the amount therein  mentioned, shall be declared to be forfeited to the municipality, and shall  be collected by it and paid into its fund for the repairing and maintenance  of like improvements. Any bond forfeited may be prosecuted, and the amount  due thereon collected and paid into the same fund.    (Source: Laws 1961, p. 576.)

2021 Illinois Compiled Statutes|Chapter 65 - MUNICIPALITIES|65 ILCS 5/ - Illinois Municipal Code.|Article 9 - Local Improvements

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-113)Sec. 9-2-113.         In any case where an improvement is to be constructed with  the aid and assistance of any agency of the Federal Government, or any  other governmental agency, the provisions of Sections 9-2-100 through  9-2-112 shall not apply where they conflict with this section. The board of  local improvements in cities having a population of 500,000 or more and the  corporate authorities in municipalities having a population of less than  500,000 may proceed at any time within 90 days after the judgment of  confirmation has been entered in the construction of the work. Within 90  days after the judgment of confirmation the board of local improvements in  cities having a population of 500,000 or more and the corporate authorities  in municipalities having a population of less than 500,000, shall adopt a  resolution determining to proceed with the construction of the work,  publish the resolution within 10 days in one or more newspapers published  in the municipality, or, if no newspaper is published therein, then in one  or more newspapers with a general circulation within the municipality. In  municipalities with less than 500 population in which no newspaper is  published, publication may instead be made by posting a notice in 3  prominent places within the municipality.Ten days after the publishing of this resolution a copy thereof,  properly certified, shall be filed in the court in which the judgment of  confirmation was entered. This resolution shall be authority for the  issuing of the warrant to the collector for the collection of the  assessment. Each assessment shall draw interest from the date of passage of  the resolution of intention to proceed with the work, as provided in  Sections 9-2-48 through 9-2-51.After this resolution has been filed and a warrant issued to the  collector for the collection of the assessment, the municipality may issue  bonds or vouchers to anticipate the collection of the unpaid portions of  all installments of the assessment, including the first installment if it  has not been certified delinquent, for the purpose of applying the proceeds  of the bonds toward paying the cost of the improvement, including all  expenses of making, levying, collecting the assessment and engineering and  attorneys' fees. These bonds if issued shall be sold for not less than par  and accrued interest and the proceeds used for that purpose, or the bonds  may be issued, for not less than par and accrued interest, in payment for  materials, labor, or services.No person furnishing materials or supplying labor for the construction  of any such local improvement shall have any claim or lien against the  municipality except from the collection of the special assessments or  special taxes made or to be made for that work, or from the proceeds of the  sale of bonds to anticipate the collection of the same in case such bonds  have been sold.

 (from Ch. 24, par. 9-2-114)Sec. 9-2-114.         Except as otherwise provided in Section 9-2-117, within 30  days after the final completion and, where required, acceptance of the  work, as provided in Section 9-2-112, the board of local improvements shall  have the cost thereof, including the cost of engineering services,  certified in writing to the court in which the assessment was confirmed,  together with an amount estimated by the board to be required to pay the  accruing interest on bonds or vouchers issued to anticipate collection.  Thereupon, if the total amount assessed for the improvement upon the public  and private property exceeds the cost of the improvement, all of that  excess, except the amount required to pay such interest as is provided for  in this Division 2, shall be abated and the judgment reduced  proportionately to the public and private property owners and shall be  credited pro rata upon the respective assessments for the improvement under  the direction of the court.In case the assessment is collectible in installments, this reduction  shall be made so that all installments shall be equal in amount, except  that all fractional amounts shall be added to the first installment so as  to leave the remaining installments in the aggregate equal in amount and  each a multiple of $100. If prior to the entry of the order abating and  reducing the assessment the assessment has been certified for collection  pursuant to the provisions of Section 9-2-76, and any of the installments  of the assessment so certified for collection have become due and payable,  the reduction and abatement above referred to shall be made pro rata upon  the other installments. The intent and meaning of this is that no property  owner shall be required to pay to the collector a greater amount than his  proportionate share of the cost of the work and of the interest that may  accrue thereon.

Public notice shall be given at least twice of  the time and place fixed for that hearing by publishing in a newspaper, in  the same manner and for the same period as provided in this Division 2 for  publishing notice of application for the confirmation of the original  assessment, the publication of this notice to be not more than 30 nor less  than 15 days before the day fixed by the order for that hearing.At the time and place fixed by the notice or at any time thereafter, the  court shall proceed to hear the application and any objection which may be  filed thereto within the time fixed in the order.  Upon that hearing the  specified certificate of the board of local improvements shall be prima  facie evidence that the matters and things stated are true, but if any part  thereof is controverted by objections duly filed thereto, the court shall  hear and determine the objections in a summary manner and shall enter an  order according to the fact.
