DuPage County board approves multiple contracts, awards and budget adjustments including $7.07 million tech support contract

The DuPage County Board on June 1 approved a series of awarding resolutions, contract amendments and budget adjustments covering weatherization services, facilities maintenance, public‑works projects, IT support and intergovernmental highway work.

The package included multiple weatherization and HVAC contracts for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 program year: awarding resolutions to Arcos Environmental Services Inc. (HSP 28‑25) for mechanical/HVAC/weatherization labor and materials — contract not to exceed $135,000; Chicago United Industries Limited (HSP 29‑25) to furnish, deliver and install ENERGY STAR appliances — contract not to exceed $238,000; Healthy Air Heating and Airing (HSP 30‑25) for mechanical/architectural weatherization labor and materials — contract not to exceed $135,000; and My Greenhouse HVAC LLC (HSP 31‑25) for similar weatherization services — contract not to exceed $135,000. Each of those motions was moved and seconded by board members and carried after voice votes.

Facilities and public‑works items approved included: - A rescission of Requisition 25‑11‑86 for Sanders Distribution Air Care Services (re: kitchen duct and hood cleaning) and replacement with a new procurement for judicial facilities and the JTK administration building (contract to Airway Systems, F&P 33‑25) for July 9, 2025–July 8, 2027, not to exceed $37,525. - A renewal/award to Fox Valley Fire and Safety Company for preventive maintenance, testing and repair of fire and life‑safety systems (F&P 34‑25), third and final renewal option, not to exceed $117,250 for August 28, 2025–August 27, 2026. - A rehabilitation contract for a 250,000‑gallon elevated water storage tank to Dynamic Industrial Services (FWP 17‑25), not to exceed $390,600. - A purchase to Mid America Waters (FWP 18‑25) for hydrants and related materials, not to exceed $62,500 (first of three renewal options).

The board approved a large three‑year technology/industrial purchase order (PWP 19‑25) issued to Riviera Electric Supply Company to furnish Rockwell automatic hardware and software support for public works and stormwater management for May 29, 2025–May 28, 2028, for a contract total not to exceed $7,072,090. During discussion Vice Chair [Kozewski] was noted absent; a board member asked why the contract start date (May 29) had already passed. Valerie from procurement explained the contract started so there would be no service gap and that the contractor had not yet been required to provide services; she said a departmental decision would be needed if the board voted no and the contractor had already been used for amounts under $15,000.

Other transportation and public‑works motions carried included an amendment to an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Darien to replace a retaining wall along County Highway 31 (Plainfield Road) and increase county funding by $264,500 resulting in a final county cost of $452,000; and an awarding resolution to Earthworks Land Improvement and Development Corporation for drainage improvements to Army Trail Road with an estimated county cost of $435,376.10 (DTR 0021‑25).

Finance and personnel items approved included acceptance and appropriation of additional funding for the ILD CEO Community Services Block Grant (FIR0111‑25) increasing an account from $1,269,609 to $1,401,491 (an increase of $131,882); approval of employee compensation and job reclassification adjustments for workforce development (FIR0113‑25); and authorization of a contract with International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 for public works stormwater and facilities management (FIR0115‑25). Those motions were moved by Vice Chair Cahill and seconded by other members and carried by voice vote.
