# DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee Meeting, Tuesday 10/6/26

The DuPage County Stormwater Management Committee met October 6, 2026. Procurement and budget actions included approval of a contract with B3 Companies for the Crest Creek upstream weir repair project, not to exceed $188,658 under bid 26081, for October 13, 2026–November 30, 2030; the motion carried. The committee also approved extensions through November 30, 2027, with no change in contract amounts, for an on-call engineering services contract and a Mark Tam Construction contract. Members considered opening the 2027 Water Quality Improvement Program grant application round, with submissions due January 8, 2027, though the transcript does not capture the vote outcome. A $45,000 budget transfer for FY26 employee medical and hospital insurance was also presented; its vote result is not clear in the transcript. The committee received the September claims schedule, and the chair noted an additional $4 million in the 2027 budget for stormwater projects and partnerships.

Members discussed recurring flooding in the Sawmill Creek watershed, ongoing watershed modeling and coordination with municipalities and other landowners, and a recent suspected illegal-dumping incident requiring costly remediation with EPA and local-community involvement. Staff said the watershed study’s draft plan was expected in about eight months. An outside firm could be engaged for municipal compliance audits, but no audit contract or procurement decision was approved at this meeting. The committee said it would not meet in November because the scheduled date falls on Election Day.
