DuPage County Transportation Committee Meeting, Tuesday 5/5/26

The DuPage County Transportation Committee held a meeting on May 5, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were addressed. The committee approved multiple contract awards and purchase orders, including a contract with ComEd for electric facilities installation at the highway maintenance building valued at $74,185.34, and awarded a $50,000 contract to SKC Construction for the 2026 pavement preservation crack sealing program. They also approved a nearly $1 million contract renewal with Compass Minerals for the bulk rock salt program for the 2026-2027 period. Additionally, the committee approved closing several expired contracts related to natural gas supply, car washes, sign materials, and vehicle parts. An amendment was approved for a professional design engineering services contract with Alfred Benesch & Company, increasing the contract due to expanded project scope involving road profile adjustments to accommodate emergency vehicles. The committee also discussed funding and potential parameter adjustments for a $500,000 pilot rideshare access program aimed at improving transportation options. Finally, a contract with Simo Connect Enterprise for Bluebeam software was approved for just under $35,000, exempt from bidding. No new business was raised, and the meeting was adjourned.
