DuPage County committee approves contract closeouts, renewals and $8.9 million highway construction award
Summary
The Transportation Committee approved bundled contract closeouts and renewals, a $25,000 budget transfer for snow overtime, and awarded DTR 326 (County Highway 23 improvements) to K5 Construction for an estimated county cost reported in the transcript as $8,888,888; the committee also approved a joint funding agreement with IDOT for intersection improvements on County Highway 38.
DuPage County’s Transportation Committee approved a slate of contractual actions and award resolutions at its meeting, including the closure of multiple expired contracts, several one‑year renewals and the award of a major road construction contract.
The committee approved the minutes of the March 3, 2026 meeting and then combined and approved multiple change orders and contract closeouts (items A–H) for the Division of Transportation. Staff enumerated contracts to be closed or have their remaining encumbrances decreased, citing expiration dates and contract purposes (parts, paving materials, concrete supplies and similar items).
The committee also approved several intergovernmental mowing agreements with municipalities (including Glendale Heights, Carol Stream, Bloomingdale Township and Winfield Township) that staff described as decreasing county funding for those contracts; the transcript lists adjusted dollar values but several amounts are formatted unclearly in the transcript and are recorded here as stated by staff in the meeting record.
The committee approved a $25,000 budget transfer from fleet overtime to maintenance overtime to cover expenses from an extended snow season.
Among procurement approvals, the committee approved a set of recommended contracts and purchase orders for the Division of Transportation, including but not limited to parts and repair contracts (Sunrise Chevrolet, JX Truck Center), equipment (Monroe Truck Equipment service body), title insurance (Old Republic Title), guardrail work (Northern Contracting), and systems support (Parsons Transportation Group). Staff cited intergovernmental purchasing and procurement exemptions where applicable.
Notably, chair moved to approve awarding resolution DTR 326 to K5 Construction Corporation for improvements to County Highway 23 (Nepville Road from Ridgeland to I‑88). The transcript records an estimated county cost for that low bid as $8,888,888; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee also approved DTR 426 (pavement marking maintenance program) and DTR 526 (a joint funding agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation for federally funded intersection control improvements on County Highway 38 between Suffield Court and Americana Drive). For DTR 426 the transcript lists an estimated cost in a garbled numeric form ('495,76.89'); the exact figure should be verified in the county contract record.
Where the transcript reports only a voice vote, the record indicates motions were seconded and approved by the committee; specific roll‑call tallies and mover/second names are not consistently recorded in the transcript. The meeting moved on to old business (trail update) after the procurement and award items and was then adjourned.
The committee did not take further votes on the East Branch DuPage River Trail at this meeting; staff will return with any supplemental agreement requests and the technical analysis later this spring.
