KANE COUNTY — At its March meeting the Kane County Transportation Committee approved several formal actions, including a funding reallocation for engineering services, a small equipment purchase, and multiple contract agreements for engineering and construction support.
Highlights of actions approved:
• Reappropriation for V3 Companies: The committee approved a resolution to reallocate the remaining obligation for resolution 19‑452 (Kane County section 19‑00519‑0000ES) — moving the remaining amount into South impact fees to cover engineering agreements for Wenmouth Road at Main Street and Wenmouth Road at Fabian Parkway. Staff recommended approval and the resolution passed on roll call.
• Procurement: The committee approved the purchase of a 2026 propane‑fired asphalt repair hot box from Midwest Paving Equipment (purchase price read into record as "$43,000 and $7"); staff said the item was included in the budget.
• Contracts and professional services: - Corrective Asphalt Materials LLC: award recommended for the 2026 rejuvenator project (award amount reported in the packet). Staff noted the bid did not meet the responsible bidders ordinance yet complied with the county purchasing ordinance. - Michael Baker International, Inc.: selected via QBS for phase‑one engineering services for the Randall Road bridge carrying structure and intersection improvements (amount not to exceed $1,796,828). - Alfred Benes & Company: selected for phase‑three construction engineering services on Randall Road at Hops Road separation and intersection improvements (agreement reported as $5,199,364; 50% federal funding for the task). - Railroad easement: the committee approved appropriation for a permanent easement required for the Randall Road at Hops Road overpass, with the agreed easement payment reported as $59,500.
All items were approved on roll calls recorded in the meeting transcript. Several members asked staff to confirm procurement and bidder‑responsibility details after the meeting; staff indicated the information would be available in procurement files and the bid packet.
