Item No. 14-199
Date: lune 9, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Contract Award to International Salt in the
amount of $53.98 per ton for Sodium Chloride
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary:
Last year, the City joined with the City of Brewer for a sodium chloride contract bid. The City has
been "piggybacking" with the City of Brewer's bidding for the last three years. Through this process
we are obtaining excellent pricing (FY 12, the City paid $64.33 per ton under the State of Maine
bid, for FY 13 the City paid $58.77 per ton under the City of Brewer bid and the proposed price for
FY 14 and FY 15 was $52.41 ton).
International Salt has proposed a contract renewal with a 3% increase to $53.98 per ton. Last year
several communities and MDOT, whom were utilizing other rock salt vendors, ran out of stock and
had difficulty obtaining more. The City has had excellent experience with International Salt over the
years.
On June 2,. 2014, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved staff recommendation to renew
the contract to International Salt Company at $53.98 per ton.
The contract award. recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over
$100,000.
