The DuPage County public works committee approved a series of routine budget transfers, contract extensions and procurement contracts during its Feb. 17 meeting.
Among the financial actions, the committee approved budget transfer 26829, moving $16,000 from a maintenance supply account to the grounds division to cover snow call-out costs, and transfer 26830 to cover several sewer and administrative contingencies and GASB-related depreciation/benefit payments (transcript lists individual amounts for components including $25,000, $61,000, $100,000 and others). These transfers were moved and carried by voice vote.
The consent agenda and bid awards included: an extension of a construction-oversight contract to Nov. 30, 2027 (consent item 26831); a joint purchasing agreement (PWP1026) for rehabilitation of 31 manholes across DuPage County (not to exceed $118,266); a contract to Univar Solutions USA Inc. for sodium sulfite on an as-needed basis for water treatment plants (not to exceed $45,000); and awards to suppliers of water treatment chemicals, safety shoes and work boots, exhaust fans, preventive door maintenance and other facilities services. The transcript records approvals for Global Water Technology, Red Wing Brands of America, MG Mechanical Contracting LLC, Chicago Corporation (preventive door maintenance), Advance Boiler Control Services, and Elmer Chicago Stone, among others. In several places the transcript’s numeric formatting is unclear; those amounts are flagged as unclear and will be confirmed in the procurement records.
Action item PWR426 was approved to amend the county’s agreement with the DuPage River Salt Creek Work Group for stream restoration local funding (June 1, 2026–May 31, 2030) not to exceed $559,697. Several information items related to road-material suppliers (aggregates, bituminous and concrete suppliers) were also presented and approved for one-year terms.
All routine items were carried by voice vote with no formal roll-call tallies given in the transcript. The committee did not take substantive policy votes beyond procurement approvals and agreed to advance the memorial park proposal (see separate coverage).
Next steps: staff will finalize procurement paperwork and proceed with contract execution and the finance bureau will process approved transfers.
