Summary: Contract #74000012184 issued under Project #21-80-44 consists of providing construction services at the Forest Preserves’ General Headquarters building to replace existing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. A time extension and contract increase are needed to allow for additional work to respond to a blown ComEd transformer. This scope of work is to replace an interior ComEd transformer that failed at this building in January 2025 and that could not be replaced in kind due to its location inside the building. A new exterior transformer pad will need to be provided along with re-worked secondary cable ahead of ComEd placement of a new transformer. The project was originally approved by the Forest Preserves of Cook County Board of Commissioners on 4/25/2023 (Board Item No. 23-0018).
