TO: Mayor Richard C. Irvin
FROM: Jason Bauer, P.E. Assist. Dir. Public Works - Assist. City Eng
DATE: December 4, 2018
SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the expenditure of Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds for snow removal operations in 2019, in an amount up to $1,170,000.
PURPOSE:
To execute the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) resolution necessary to appropriate MFT funds for the purchase of sodium chloride (rock salt) and liquid calcium chloride (pre-wetting agent) for 2019.
BACKGROUND:
The salt and calcium chloride to be used for snow removal will be purchased through the State's Central Management Services Office and the DuPage County Procurement Services Division; both entities secured multiple bids through a publicly advertised sealed process, establishing competitive unit prices.
DISCUSSION:
Prior to any expenditure of MFT funds, the State must review the proposed expenditure and authorize the use of MFT funds. The $1,170,000 is an estimate for what will be needed in 2019; however, the actual expenditure is dependent upon the severity of the winter and the number of events that require the use of these chemicals. Any unused funds from this expenditure will be returned to the City's unobligated MFT balance at the end of 2019.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Approval of this resolution will provide the City with the necessary materials to perform proper snow and ice control on city streets during the 2019 calendar year.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Please forward this resolution to the Finance Committee for their review and recommendation.
