DuPage County Transportation Committee approves five vehicle and software contracts
Summary
The DuPage County Transportation Committee approved five contracts for winter and fleet operations — covering a deicing sprayer, asphalt heaters, fleet-management software, two chassis and two dump bodies — all by voice vote and with minor wording amendments to procurement authority references.
The DuPage County Transportation Committee approved five procurement contracts for fleet equipment and software during a brief meeting in which members voted by voice on each item.
The approvals cover: an 800-gallon Icemaster T-series deicing sprayer from Kaplan Liquid Solutions for up to $22,676.50; two Kilmer International infrared asphalt heaters from Monroe Truck Equipment Inc. for up to $23,800; fleet-management software from RTA Fleet Success for up to $46,317.75; two Ford F-550 Super Cab chassis from Sutton Ford Inc. for up to $144,260; and installation of two dump bodies by Monroe Truck Equipment for up to $74,797. All contracts were described as for the Division of Transportation and set for terms in 2025.
Why it matters: the purchases are routine fleet- and operations-related procurements that fund winter road treatment equipment, road-surface maintenance tools, vehicle replacements and software to track fleet assets. Committee approval authorizes staff to execute the listed contracts under the county procurement framework noted during the meeting.
On procedural language, the committee approved amendments replacing references to the “Government Joint Purchasing Act” with the “Intergovernmental Cooperation Act” on two items (agenda nos. 25-0190 and 25-0191) before voting on them.
Details of approved items: the committee approved recommendation 25-0190 to contract with Kaplan Liquid Solutions to furnish and deliver an 800-gallon Icemaster T-series deicing sprayer with an Eco Max electric pump for the Division of Transportation for the period January 21, 2025, through November 30, 2025, for a contract total not to exceed $22,676.50; the committee amended the item to replace the referenced procurement statute name and then approved it by voice vote. Recommendation 25-0191, amended in the same way, authorized Monroe Truck Equipment Incorporated to furnish and deliver two Kilmer International infrared asphalt heaters for the same contract period with a not-to-exceed total of $23,800 and was approved by voice vote.
The committee also approved recommendation DTP00425, a contract with RTA Fleet Success for fleet-management software for the Division of Transportation for the period February 1, 2025, through January 31, 2026, for a contract total not to exceed $46,317.75. Recommendation DTP000525 approved Sutton Ford Incorporated to furnish and deliver two Ford F-550 Super Cab chassis for January 28, 2025, through November 30, 2025, for a contract total not to exceed $144,260. Recommendation DTP000625 authorized Monroe Truck Equipment to furnish and install two dump bodies on two Ford F-550 chassis for the same January 28, 2025, through November 30, 2025, period for a contract total not to exceed $74,797; a member identified as Zay seconded that motion as noted in the record.
Votes and procedure: each procurement item was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote — the minutes record members responding “Aye” to each question. No roll-call tallies or recorded dissent were shown in the transcript. The chair (name not specified in the transcript) also moved to approve the minutes of the committee’s Jan. 7, 2025, meeting and thanked Vice Chair Sam Toritore for serving as a substitute that day; the minutes motion carried.
No public comment was recorded during the meeting. The committee held no substantive debate on the procurement items, and no member requested staff follow-up or public hearings during the recorded discussion. The meeting then adjourned.
