Title
Bulk Materials Bid #17-008 Award
History
An invitation to bid was issued on February 21, 2017 for the purchase of multiple bulk material products utilized by the Parks & Grounds and Public Works Departments. This bid was conducted to allow staff to continue to make purchases of bulk materials; as a result, exceeding the $5,000 threshold for the year. For example, several pallets of seed will push the cost over the threshold. The bid was opened on March 7, 2017 with six (6) companies submitting bids for some or all of the listed materials. The Companies were not required to bid on all products. Attached is a spreadsheet with all the products that were requested. The spreadsheet lists each material and the bid prices submitted. The lowest cost per item is highlighted. Last fall staff presented to the committee, stating that we would be going to bid for bulk products.
On March 20, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referrred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
