Transportation Committee approves vehicle purchase, contract amendments and mutual-aid membership
Summary
Committee approved a county vehicle procurement, three contract amendments (two decreases and one increase) and membership in the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network; motions passed by voice vote during the Feb. 4 meeting.
The DuPage County Transportation Committee on Feb. 4 approved a procurement requisition, three contract amendments and an intergovernmental agreement, all by voice vote.
The committee approved procurement requisition DTP 001225, a contract recommendation to National Auto Fleet Group to furnish and deliver one Ford Expedition for the Division of Transportation for the period Feb. 25, 2025, through Nov. 8, 2025, for a contract total not to exceed $65,216.88. The committee then approved amendment 2504708 to resolution DTP 0193D18 (BLA Incorporated) to increase funding by $54,999.18, resulting in an amended contract total of $613,110.37; staff said the increase is to update studies and permits after repeated right-of-way delays on a project originally active in 2018. The committee approved amendment 2050442 to resolution DTP 0192-19 (Farnsworth Group) to decrease funding by $64,524.32 and close that contract with a final county cost of $335,475.68. The committee also approved amendment 250443 to resolution DTP 033719 (Atlas Engineering Group) to decrease funding by $56,471.66 and close that contract; the final county cost figure in the transcript was spoken unclearly by staff and is recorded in meeting records as stated on the record but not fully clear in the audio.
Finally, the committee approved DTR 125, an intergovernmental agreement between DuPage County and the Illinois Public Works Mutual Aid Network (IPWMA) providing membership and an annual county fee of $500 for the Division of Transportation. Committee members noted that DOT will take the lead on IPWMA membership as a countywide resource and that the fee is minimal and will be covered by DOT.
All approvals were taken by voice vote with committee members saying "Aye"; the transcript records affirmative voice votes but does not list a roll-call tally in the meeting audio. No individual motions or seconds were named on the record for each item in the audio excerpt provided.
