May 7, 2026 City of West Chicago Infrastructure Committee

The City of West Chicago Infrastructure Committee held a meeting on May 7, 2026, focusing primarily on procurement and capital improvement projects. The committee approved several contract-related items including a change order for the purchase of a 2025 Ford F59 chassis with a step van body from Hagerty Ford for a revised total of $170,180, a contract change order crediting $11,447 for the A2 phosphorus removal project at the wastewater treatment plant, and a contract award to Grove Masonary Maintenance, Inc. for $460,844.50 for the West Chicago Museum Masonry Rehabilitation Project. The committee also discussed a water rate study project, which was not budgeted but recommended for approval to assess the adequacy of current water and sewer rate increases in funding future capital improvements. Additionally, the committee voted to reject all bids for the York Avenue area water main and street rehabilitation project due to bids exceeding the budgeted amount, with plans to reduce the project scope and rebid. Updates on ongoing construction projects and challenges related to project timelines and funding extensions were also provided. The meeting concluded with reminders about attendance and upcoming project activities.
