The City has employed various means to contract for its sodium chloride over the last several years including participating with the State of Maine and Penobscot County bid process as well as bidding the product on our own. The City of Brewer has obtained excellent pricing for the last couple of years and the City's intention was to bid jointly with Brewer in the upcoming year. Brewer's current supplier, International Salt, has offered them an opportunity to extend their contract for one year and agreed to extend that pricing to the City of Bangor. The City has also reviewed bids through the State and Penobscot County and found the Brewer bid to be the most competitive. For FY 12, the City paid $64.33 per ton under the State of Maine bid. On May 7, 2012, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved staff recommendation to award the contract to International Salt Company at $58.77 per ton which is significantly lower than the $64.33 than the City paid in 2012. The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over $100,000.
