Human Services committee shifts $50,000 between weatherization contracts to cover extra HVAC work

May 20, 2025 — The DuPage County Human Services Committee approved an amendment to a weatherization contract that increases an encumbrance to Healthy Air Heating and Air, Inc. by $50,000 and simultaneously reduced a separate HVAC contract by $50,000 to offset the cost.

The committee approved the amendment to resolution HSP0004-024, increasing the Healthy Air contract so the amended total does not exceed $916,434 (a 5.77% increase). The committee then approved reducing county contract 74700001 with My Greenhouse HVAC LLC by $50,000, resulting in an amended total of $816,434 (a 5.77% decrease). Each motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; members responded "aye." The items were presented under the community services weatherization program.

Chair Shrozzi said staff managed the changes under the direction provided by committee leadership. The committee framed the pair of amendments as an internal reallocation: one contract increase funded by a reduction in another contract within the same program.

The committee record lists the amendment to resolution HSP0004-024 and the modification of county contract 74700001 as formal actions taken at the May 20 meeting. No dissenting votes or roll-call tallies were recorded on the transcript; approval was indicated by unanimous voice vote.

The committee did not discuss additional details on the scope of the HVAC work, contractor selection process, or implementation timelines during the public portion of the item.

Members asked no further questions at the time of the vote. The committee moved on to other agenda items following approval.
