Item No. 12 158
Date: May 14, 2012
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Contract Award with International Salt, for the
purchase of Sodium Chloride at 58.77
Responsible Department: Public Works
Commentary:
The City was presented with an opportunity to cooperate with the City of Brewer on an extension to
their sodium chloride contract. 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.
