Summary: DES requests a renewal, extension & increase of its current Weaver contract. The Contract Modification Request will enable DES to implement a new County-wide Neighborhood Revitalization Brownfield Remediation Program funded by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The ARPA Brownfield Program will total $10,000,000.00 and DES has allocated $3,000,000.00 to Weaver's services.
The Brownfield Program which currently serves (7) suburbs will be expanded to include the entirety of suburban Cook County. However, the program will focus on Environmental Justice communities as they have a disproportionately greater occurrence of brownfield sites due to historic commercial and industrial development in the area. The south suburbs have also experienced increased levels of pollution and an increased level of associated health effects associated with commercial and industrial development.
This contract was awarded through a publicly advertised Request for Proposals (RFP) in accordance with the Cook County Procurement Code. Weaver Consultants Group North Central, LLC was selected based on the established evaluation criteria.
