Kane County approves resurfacing, crack sealing, tree restoration and impact‑fee credit agreement

Kane County’s transportation committee approved a package of resolutions and contracts on Tuesday that included roadway project amendments, resurfacing and routine maintenance contracts, a small‑value paint purchase for a new county paint truck and an impact‑fee credit agreement for developer‑built improvements.

Among the items the committee approved by roll call:

- Amendment to Resolution 23‑535 with HDR, Inc. for Montgomery Road at Howell Place improvements (agenda item 6C); staff recommended approval and the motion carried.

- Amendment to Resolution 23‑72 with PLT Clark LLC for intersection improvements on Fabian Parkway at Settlers Hill and Kingsland Drive (agenda item 6D); motion carried.

- FY26 budget adjustments reallocating existing appropriations for engineering and resurfacing and moving resurfacing funds between transportation sales tax and motor fuel tax funds (agenda item 6E); staff emphasized there is no net increase to the transportation budget and the motion carried.

- Purchase of paint products for the county’s new paint truck in an amount of $86,175 ($71,175 for paint and a $15,000 contingency) to support marking operations and training; staff said the contingency covers possible earlier truck delivery and additional training work and the contract was approved.

- An impact‑fee credit agreement associated with specified developer‑constructed improvements on Fabian Parkway at Couts Road, with a total credit amount of $28,535.95. Staff described how agreed quantities and unit prices produced the credit and said the developer may draw on the credit as it builds; the resolution was approved.

- Contract awards for maintenance and resurfacing, including a PCC crack sealing contract with SKC Construction (~$196,649), an HMA crack sealing award (~$43,251), the countywide 2026 resurfacing contract with Builder Paving LLC (roughly $10,787,000), a reforestation contract at Brunner Family Forest Preserve (~$265,900), and multiple township resurfacing contracts (Blackberry, Burlington, Captain, Rutland and Virgil townships) with amounts and contractors reported in the meeting packet. Staff noted several winning bids did not meet the county’s responsible bidders ordinance (RBO) training specifications but complied with other purchasing requirements.

Board members asked routine clarifying questions about contingencies, warranty work on prior striping and how overweight permits and fees are used to recoup potential damage from construction traffic; staff responded that permits and fees provide oversight and partial cost recovery.

A board member requested unanimous consent to place reports on file; no objections were recorded. The committee declined executive session and adjourned following routine closing remarks.

Next steps: contract documents will be finalized and awards executed according to county purchasing rules; staff will confirm adopt‑a‑highway sign assignments where the packet appeared to include a typographical inconsistency.
