West Chicago infrastructure committee moves to approve multiple infrastructure contracts and museum repairs
Summary
The West Chicago Infrastructure Committee moved to approve a package of intergovernmental agreements and contract awards, including lead service line design ($65,494), a Washington Street demolition ($78,000) and museum building improvements (not to exceed $523,000); the chair recused from one oversight vote.
The West Chicago Infrastructure Committee moved to advance a package of intergovernmental agreements and contract awards covering road resurfacing, drainage work, railroad crossing improvements and museum renovations.
Alderman Divas moved "I'd like to make a motion to approve item 4 a, resolution number 26R0037, intergovernmental agreement, Winfield Township Road District cost participation for Parnell Road resurfacing project," and identified a set of related resolutions and contract awards for the consent agenda, several of which include specific dollar limits. The list included a DuPage County drainage improvement (26R0051), professional design services for lead service line replacement (26R0052, up to $65,494), a contract award for Washington Street building demolition (26R0053, not to exceed $78,000), construction and maintenance agreements with the Union Pacific Railroad Company for two pedestrian at‑grade crossings (26R0054 and 26R0055, amounts not to exceed $235,083 and $237,552), and a contract award for improvements to the West Chicago City Museum at 132 Main Street (26R0056, not to exceed $523,000). Alderman Divas also cited a letter of understanding with the Illinois Department of Transportation related to maintenance of a proposed traffic control device at Illinois Route 38 (Roosevelt Road) and Technology Boulevard (26R0057).
The chair noted earlier that items 4(b) and 4(j) would be pulled from the general consent package for separate consideration. On item 4(j) — a contract award for Thomas Engineering Group LLC to provide construction oversight services for public improvements to be constructed by Fisker Realty Group for the Fort McMurray subdivision — the chair stated, "I will be recusing myself from this vote," and that procedural step was recorded on the transcript. A motion to approve the remaining consent items was made and seconded by Alderman Divas; the transcript records the motion and second but does not contain a recorded roll‑call or final voice tally for every listed consent item.
Staff clarified funding sources for some items during later discussion: item 4(b) would use water funds, while items 4(f), 4(g) and 4(h) would come from capital funds. The committee did not record additional technical or fiduciary conditions in the public transcript.
What happens next: The items listed on the consent agenda were presented to the committee for approval; the transcript records motions and a recusal but does not include a complete roll‑call outcome for each resolution. Further action — including final contract execution or additional council votes — will follow established procurement and contracting procedures if the items secure final approval.
