Title
2010-2011 Road Salt Joint Purchasing Requisition - Renewal
History
In an effort to acquire the best possible price for road salt, the Public Works Department participates in the State Joint Purchasing Program of the Illinois Department of Central Management Services. At this time, the State of Illinois requires that we renew our option to participate in this annual procurement bid process for next winter (2010-2011). In doing so, we must complete the Illinois Joint Purchasing Requisition indicating both the tonnage and amount anticipated to be budgeted for our 2010-2011 road salt requirements.
After the State completes their bid process, we will be notified by the Illinois Department of Central Management Services of the successful vendor and their delivered contract price per ton. We will then return to Committee and Board for approval of funding required for our 2010-2011 salt purchase.
On April 5, 2010, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
