Award the rock salt contract to Herons Chemicals, Inc. of Westbrook, ME, the low bidder at
$45.50 per ton. This price h $8.50 per ton or n% higher than last years price of $37.00 per
ton. The incease is due to a shortage of freighter ships to haul the salt from Chile or Germany
— (two major sources for rod salt). The higher cont of fuel is another reason for the increase.
Harcros will truck their salt from Pugwash, Nova Scotia.
This contract award recommendation must be reviesed and appro he City Council as it
is over $100,000.
