DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee Meeting, Tuesday 7/7/26

The DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee held a meeting on July 7, 2026, focusing on recent storm events, budget approvals, and contract actions related to stormwater infrastructure and management. The committee acknowledged the effective response to a significant rain event and discussed ongoing maintenance and forecasting collaborations with the USGS, approving a scheduled annual payment of approximately $98,000. Key procurement actions included approval of an intergovernmental agreement with the Village of Downers Grove for the 39th Street Water Quality Structures Project, not to exceed $37,550, and a professional services contract for engineering and land surveying management from July 2026 to November 2027, capped at $65,000. The committee also approved a contract for program management services across county departments, including stormwater, with a total not-to-exceed amount of $150,000. Additionally, the committee discussed budget allocations for a new grant program aimed at municipalities for stormwater projects or buyouts, funded through county surplus rather than capital infrastructure funds. Motions related to claims, contract approvals, and watershed basin plans were passed unanimously, reflecting ongoing investment in stormwater infrastructure and intergovernmental cooperation.
