Item No. 15-281
Date: August 24, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Contract Award to New England Salt Co. in the
amount of $56.19 per ton for Sodium Chloride
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary:
For last two years we joined with the City of Brewer in contracting/bidding for rock salt. Our
price last year through International Salt was $53.98 per ton. The City of Brewer recently
opened bids for rock salt for the FY 16 season. Bid prices ranged from $56.19 - $79.75 per ton.
Staff recommendation is to piggy- back on the City of Brewer bid and award the contract to
New England Salt Co., the low bidder, at a price of $56.19/ton. Staff is confident in the quality
of the product as well as the vendor's ability to meet the demands.
On August 17, 2015, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved staff recommendation to renew
the contract to New England Salt Co. at $56.19 per ton.
The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as itis over
$100,000.
