DuPage County committee approves multiple facilities and IT contracts, authorizes budget transfer
Summary
On Jan. 7 the DuPage County committee approved a $52,385 facilities budget transfer and several contracts including a Johnson Controls server upgrade and a sheriff's office roof replacement; it also changed its utility billing vendor after procurement documentation issues and rescinded an earlier award.
The DuPage County committee on Jan. 7 approved a series of budget and contracting actions, including a $52,385 transfer for facilities work and multiple contract awards and closings.
Clerk (speaker 1) presented a transfer of $52,385 to support facilities management Metasys work; the committee approved the motion by voice vote. The committee also approved a contract with Johnson Controls Solutions to upgrade Manassist/server software for the period 07/14/2026–07/13/2027, with a not-to-exceed amount stated in the record as $52,385.
The committee voted to approve a roof replacement contract for the sheriff's office (FMP2226) for the 07/14/2026–07/13/2027 term with a not-to-exceed amount of $547,784.50. Committee members discussed the roof's age and reported moisture intrusion at the facility; staff said the existing roof is more than 20 years old and that the project addresses those issues.
The meeting also moved forward a recommended contract to a vendor described in the record as Tyler Technologies for a cloud-based utility billing system covering a term the transcript gives as 10/01/2026–09/30/2028. The spoken not-to-exceed dollar amount for that contract was unclear in the meeting record and is not specified in this report.
On procurement for utility bill printing and mail services, staff told the committee the top-ranked vendor, Peregrine, did not submit required procurement documents; the committee therefore approved awarding the work to the second-ranked vendor (referred to in the record as "1 to 1"). The committee also approved a resolution rescinding BWP1526, a prior award to "FairGrime Services," so the county could proceed with the new vendor selection.
Clerk-led motions on purchase-order decreases and closures for a set of public-works contracts (amounts listed in the transcript included examples such as $7,997.33 and $223,430.29) were approved by voice vote. The committee combined several agenda items (referred to in the record as 7b–7d) before taking these votes.
The committee's votes in the transcript were recorded as voice votes ("Aye"/"Motion carries"); the record did not include individual roll-call tallies for the items in this account.
The clerk concluded routine business and moved the meeting into discussion of campus events and storm impacts.
What happens next: contracts will be finalized by staff according to procurement rules and project timelines; staff indicated the museum-related work will be scheduled to avoid summer camps and take place between August and the end of November, and the sheriff's office roof project will proceed under the stated contract term.
