Park District Contract
Government contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements are complicated and highly regulated areas of the law that often draw scrutiny. As a result, governmental entities typically face challenges from the public, policymakers, and regulators.
Our municipal contract practice area provides a comprehensive range of services to the government sector to ensure that they obtain successful outcomes. We handle every stage of a claim and issues that may arise from bid and project solicitation through the final audit. Further, we handle bid protests, contract claim disputes, labor and employment claims, regulatory compliance, and service contracts.
Intergovernmental Agreements
The attorneys at Robbins Schwartz regularly negotiate, draft, and amend intergovernmental agreements for public entities. We have negotiated intergovernmental agreements between municipalities and park districts, school districts, townships, forest preserve districts, counties, and even the State of Illinois. We have also negotiated and prepared complex IGAs to accomplish a wide variety of mutual objectives, including shared use of land and improvements, shared programming, operating agreements, joint purchasing, joint financing, joint defense of claims, and others.
We are mindful that governmental contracts frequently come under significant scrutiny. Robbins Schwartz has a history of successfully assisting its municipal clients to enter business agreements with other governmental entities. The firm handles these intergovernmental agreements on the local, state, and federal levels. When disputes arise over intergovernmental agreements, we are ready to vigorously litigate on behalf of our clients.
