SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Bulk Road Salt in the amount of $45.25 per ton for the 2020-2021 winter season from Cargill Incorporated, North Olmsted, Ohio.
PURPOSE:
To obtain City Council approval for the purchase of bulk rock salt in the amount of $45.25 per ton from Cargill Incorporated for the Division of Street Maintenance under the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement bid for the 2020-2021 winter season
BACKGROUND:
The bulk rock salt is used to melt snow & ice from City streets, making them safer for vehicular traffic. We have been dividing our salt purchase between DuPage County Department of Transportation and the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement. By dividing our road salt orders between two government agencies soliciting bids, we hope to have two different suppliers. Historically this has provided us an alternate source should one of the providers be unable to make timely deliveries.
DISCUSSION:
The City anticipates purchasing 7,500 tons of bulk rock salt at a price of $45.25 per ton for the 2020-2021 winter season from Cargill Incorporated Salt Division, North Olmsted Ohio.
Dollars have been appropriated for this expenditure in account 203-4460-431-6532,
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Road salt improves the driving conditions for vehicular traffic.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council approve the purchase of bulk rock salt in the amount of $45.25 per ton from Cargill Incorporated, North Olmsted, Ohio for the Division of Street Maintenance under the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement.
