The DuPage County Transportation Committee approved awarding resolutions for several 2026 roadway and maintenance programs, moved forward multiple procurement recommendations, and approved notice of a Surface Transportation Program grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation for $4,678,425.
The committee approved awarding resolutions to K5 Construction Corporation for the 2026 roadway resurfacing North program (estimated county cost $4,918,991.26 per lowest responsible bid) and to Builders Paving LLC for the 2026 roadway resurfacing South program (estimated county cost $5,788,200). Other awarded contracts included Sebert Landscaping for highway vegetative maintenance ($554,677.04) and Semperfi Landscaping for various highway landscaping programs ($299,225).
Mr. Zack asked whether Builders Paving's reported IDOT issue had been resolved: "Builders Paving, I know they had that IDOT issue. Has it ever been resolved?" Staff replied that the firm remained pre-qualified with IDOT but that IDOT was not currently giving them work. Member Jusserand asked whether Semperfi is veteran-owned; committee members had no definitive confirmation on the record.
The committee also approved procurement items including a traffic-control-device contract not to exceed $20,000 and several qualification-based professional services contracts (Alfred Benesch and Company up to $500,000; SE3 Group up to $466,950; Collins Engineers up to $700,000; H.W. Lochner up to $479,147), and authorized vehicle and equipment purchases noted in the agenda.
On the grant notification, Member Colbert said she was "really happy about this grant" but asked whether the county match (about $1.5 million) would be sufficient over multiple years; staff said federal coverage was estimated at about 75–80% and that ultimate costs and final agreement terms could change as projects move from engineering to final agreement.
What happens next: awarded low bids proceed to contracting and project scheduling; staff will finalize grant agreements and monitor potential cost changes through final project agreements.
