Committee approves roofing transfer, multiple vendor contracts and intergovernmental metering IGA
Summary
DuPage County Public Works Committee on March 18 approved a $422,000 budget transfer for roofing replacements, accepted payment of claims and approved a series of vendor contracts and an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Woodridge for advanced metering infrastructure reporting.
DuPage County Public Works Committee Chair Childress on March 18 approved a $422,000 transfer from building improvement to capital contingency to pay for roofing replacements, and approved a package of procurement and intergovernmental items.
The committee approved payment of claims for Public Works and Facilities Management and accepted multiple vendor contracts and renewals covering equipment, chemicals, maintenance and professional services. Committee members voted to approve a joint purchasing agreement for Kaplan Liquid Solutions; a purchase order for First Choice Vac Solutions; roll‑off dumpster purchases; accounting support related to federal renewable energy tax credits; chemical supply and boiler and UPS maintenance contracts; aggregate and concrete supply contracts; and an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Woodridge to implement fixed‑base advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) for water and sewer billing.
Why it matters: the approvals move county capital and operating work forward across several divisions — facilities management, transportation and public works — and authorize spending for building maintenance, utility chemicals and equipment and professional services tied to federal energy incentives and local infrastructure.

How the decisions were reached: most items were presented by county staff, moved and seconded by committee members and approved on voice votes. The meeting record shows the motions were carried after the chair called for the ayes; the transcript does not list individual roll‑call vote tallies for these items.
What’s next: contracting staff and the affected divisions will execute the approved contracts and proceed with work under the stated periods and amounts. The AMI intergovernmental agreement will underpin meter reporting and utility billing coordination with the Village of Woodridge.
