fully advise prospective bidders of their obligations and to ensure free
and open competitive bidding.
All bids in response to advertisements shall be sealed and shall be
publicly opened by the Board, and all bidders shall be entitled to be
present in person or by representatives. Cash or a certified or
satisfactory cashier's check, as a deposit of good faith, in a

amount to be fixed by the Board before advertising for bids, shall be
required with the proposal of each bidder. Bond for faithful performance
of the contract with surety or sureties satisfactory to the Board and

Board before advertising for bids.
The contract shall be awarded as promptly as possible after the opening
of bids. The bid of the successful bidder, as well as the bids of the
unsuccessful bidders, shall be placed on file and be open to public
inspection. All bids shall be void if any disclosure of the terms of any
bid in response to an advertisement is made or permitted to be made by the
Board before the time fixed for opening bids.
Any bidder who has submitted a bid in compliance with the requirements
for bidding may bring a civil action in the Circuit Court of Cook County
