Warrenville approves Fox Hollow generator replacement and three‑year Granicus subscription; omnibus consent items pass
Summary
On June 16, 2025, the Warrenville City Council unanimously approved a contract to replace a failing Fox Hollow lift station generator for up to $61,387 and authorized a three‑year subscription with Granicus for FOIA and a citizen engagement app totaling $89,140.34; an omnibus consent agenda of ordinances, resolutions and financial reports also passed.
The Warrenville City Council on June 16 approved two vendor agreements and an omnibus consent agenda covering ordinances, resolutions and several finance reports.
Council voted to waive competitive bidding and award a contract to Frank Marshall Electric Midwest LLC for a Fox Hollow lift station generator replacement in an amount not to exceed $61,387. Presenting the item, Mr. Coocher told the council that staff obtained two quotes and "the lower quote was $61,387," and that the project priority shifted from an Emerald Green lift station because the Fox Hollow unit is failing. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members recorded in the affirmative.
The council also approved resolution R2025-42 to enter a new three‑year subscription agreement with Granicus covering the FOIA/FOYA management module and the citizen engagement app in an amount not to exceed $89,140.34. Assistant City Manager Morgan told the council that Granicus "ultimately agreed to waive the final year of fees related to the website only, which is approximately $26,000, but only upon the condition that the city enter into a new three‑year agreement" limited to the two applications. Morgan said the city will continue to use its CivicPlus website and that data can be extracted from Granicus if the city later transitions software.
Council members asked how the FOIA module and the engagement app would be accessed and whether data would be retained if the city did not renew; Morgan explained the modules are standalone and accessible from the current website and that providers typically allow data extraction during a transition. Morgan also said staff is separately pursuing an emergency notification system and has interviewed multiple vendors.
Earlier in the meeting the council read and approved an omnibus consent agenda that included two ordinances (02025-30 and 02025-31) approving a temporary off‑site parking permit and disposal of surplus personal property; resolutions authorizing professional services and equipment agreements (including R2025-38 through R2025-40); updates to enterprise and capital management plans; and financial reports showing invoices and card expenditures as listed in the meeting packet. The consent agenda passed by roll call.
The council adjourned after routine business.
