(Completed 2018) — In May 2013, the Forest Preserve District entered into a professional services contract with Strand Associates for Phase I, II and III engineering for the St. James Farm Water and Sewer Improvements project. St. James Farm Forest Preserve is located in unincorporated Warrenville and was purchased by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County in 2000 from a private land owner with the District officially taking possession of the property in 2007. The preserve encompasses approximately 600 acres north and south of IL-56 (Butterfield Road) and east of CH-13 (Winfield Road).
Construction plans and specifications were released for public bid on April 5, 2017 and on May 16, 2017 the District approved a $2,752,600 construction contract with Airy’s, Inc. out of Tinley Park, IL. The District also approved a $160,000 professional service contract with Strand Associates to perform construction engineering services.
On April 3, 2012 it was the consensus of the Board to place a motion approving the allocation of $2,700,000 of General Obligation Bonds, Series 2012 Funds for capital development projects at St. James Farm. These were specifically allocated toward new sewer and water connections to accelerate the completion of the St. James Farm Master Plan.
