Title/Name/Summary
2019-2020 Road Salt Annual Purchase
History
In March, the Public Works Department received Board approval to renew our agreement with the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) for our annual purchase of road salt through the State Joint Purchasing Program. Since that time, we have been advised that our contract with last year’s provider has been renewed with 181% increase in cost. The vendor will again be Compass Minerals America Inc. of Overland Park, Kansas, at a price of $78.86 per ton. Under this agreement, the Village is required to purchase a minimum of 3,840 tons of road salt for the 2019/20 winter season.
On November 4, 2019 this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
Financial Impact
Funds are being requested in the Fiscal Year 2020 Budget, line item 010-5002-462600 for the purchase of salt.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve purchasing road salt from Compass Minerals America Inc. of Overland Park, Kansas for the 2019-2020 winter season, for a cost not to exceed $78.86 per ton and a total cost not to exceed the remaining Fiscal Year 2019 budget and the Fiscal Year 2020 Board approved budgeted amount.
