BACKGROUND:
The bulk rock salt is used to melt snow & ice from City streets, making them safe for vehicular traffic. We will be dividing our road salt purchases again this year between DuPage County Department of Transportation and The State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Agreement. By dividing our road salt orders between two governmental agencies soliciting bids, we have two different suppliers.

The City anticipates purchasing from Detroit Salt Company. Approximately 7,500 tons (50% of the City's annual order) of bulk rock salt for the 2018-2019 winter season.
Funding has been appropriated for this expenditure in account 203-4460-431-6532
