The Village of Orland Park is subject to the Responsible Bidder Ordinance for public works projects valued at $25,000 or more, which requires contractors to comply with apprenticeship and training program requirements approved by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship or the Illinois Apprenticeship Office and to directly perform at least 25 percent of the services. This is a decision-filter for eligibility.
