Title
2013-2014 Road Salt Annual State Joint Purchasing Program
History
In March, the Public Works Department went to Board and received approval to renew our agreement with the Illinois Department of Central Management Services for our annual State Joint Purchasing Program purchase of road salt. Since that time, we have been advised of the vendor and cost of salt for this year. The vendor this year will be Cargill Incorporated Salt Division, 24950 Country Club Boulevard, North Olmsted, Ohio, for a price of $51.28 per ton. We are required to purchase a minimum of 4,000 tons for the year. The Village has spent an average of $291,613 per year on road salt over the last four years.
On October 21, 2013, this item was reviewed by the Public Works and Engineering Committee, recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
The Fiscal Year 2014 Budget will have included funds in Item 010-5002-462300 in an as yet to be determined amount for the purchase of Road Salt and Liquid De-icing Agents.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve an agreement with Cargill Incorporated Salt Division of North Olmsted, Ohio, for the purchase of salt for the 2013-2014 winter season for a cost not to exceed $51.28 per ton and a total cost not to exceed the Fiscal Year 2014 Board approved budgeted amount.
