Summary
At the meeting the board approved multiple contracts across workforce development, public safety, facilities and transportation, including three youth workforce contracts and several facilities management and utility contracts; motions carried by roll call or voice vote.
The DuPage County Board approved a slate of contracts across workforce development, facilities management, judicial services and transportation during its meeting.
Workforce development approved three contracts to provide job training and employment services for youth: a contract with Parents Alliance Employment Project not to exceed $591,928 for Oct. 1, 2025–Sept. 30, 2026; a contract with Wheaton Warrenville Community Unit School District 200 not to exceed $200,000 for the same period; and a contract with Leaders in Transformational Education not to exceed $120,000.
Facilities, public works and campus services contracts approved included preventive maintenance and repairs for overhead doors and dock equipment (Builders Chicago Corporation, contract not to exceed $214,300), campus backup generator inspection and maintenance (Genserv, $138,832), deicing salt supply ($96,320), rooftop cooling‑tower painting ($53,475), water and sanitary sewer utility services for the county campus (City of Wheaton, $3,152,000; Wheaton Sanitary District, $1,821,000), and an EV charging station purchase and cloud plan ($39,999). The board also approved several amendments to previously awarded contracts and smaller purchases for natural gas delivery and polymer for wastewater plants.
Transportation items included amendments and professional services for bridge and roadway projects, materials testing professional services (State Testing LLC, up to $200,000 across divisions), and award of a traffic signal/streetlight maintenance contract for 2026–2027 at an estimated county cost of $7,718,158.36. The board also authorized participation in an RTA‑funded study on paratransit (Dial‑A‑Ride) coordination with a county cost not to exceed $150,000.
Most items were moved and approved by voice vote or roll call; the meeting record shows motions, seconds and votes for each consent item. Board members asked routine implementation questions (for example, how paratransit studies will involve township programs) and directed staff to implement contracts and report back as required.
The board’s finance staff indicated these contract approvals are reflected in the department budgets and the board approved the motions by majority votes as recorded in the minutes.
