OTHER COMMENTS:
Awad the contract to International Salt Co., LLC of Clarks Summit, PA, the low bidder at $35.87 per
ton delivered to the Gry's storage buildings. Intemadorel Salt Co. is a new company to the City but
they have made inroads in the State of Maine. They have secured supply contracts with the
Portland Council of Governments, the City of PWdond and the State of Maine.
The State has purchased rock sal[ from four suppliers war the previous three months and
International Salt Co. has provided the best quality product of the four Companies.. The Stall
performed seven (7) lab tests during the three (3) month time period and Intematlonal Salt Co.,
was the only supplier that was = penalized for product quality (high moisture content).
last year we purchased rock salt from Haraos Chemicals Indent $34.00 per ton.
If the Cry does have problems will this new supplier then we will cancel the contract and award the
balance of the contact to Hamms Chemicals Inc., the aboard low bidder8.68 per ton.
This recommendation will be opened to the City ty Co'I I as as of
$100,000.00
