Commentary:
For the second year, the City parficipated in the Penobscot Valley Council of Governments
purchasing program farsodium chloride. As a resultof their bld process, the low responsive bidder
for proNOing this preductto the City of Bangorwas Intematonal Saft Compar y at$66.99 tartan, a
14.5% Incase over our H20M contract pace of $58.51.
While the City chose to participate In the PVCOG bid process, we are not oNigated to enter Into a
contract as a result of It. Last year, we also Issued our own Request for Bids after mceMng the
PVCOG figures. The bids we received were higher, and we apted to he part of the WCOG bid. In
addition, the State of Maine recently opened bids for sodium chloride, and their result were the
same as those received by PVCOG.
On August 18, 2008, the Finance Committee review staff recommendation to award the contact to
Internatlonal Saft Company at $66.99 per ton and recommended full Council approval since the bid
amount is in excess of $100,000.
