Title
2016-2017 Road Salt Annual Purchase
History
In March, the Public Works Department received Board approval to renew the agreement with the Illinois Department of Central Management Services (CMS) for the annual purchase of road salt through the State Joint Purchasing Program. Since that time, we have been advised that the contract with last year’s provider has been renewed with no increase in cost. The vendor will again be Morton Salt of Chicago, Illinois, at a price of $59.71 per ton. This year, the Village is required to purchase a minimum of 3,600 tons and a maximum of 5,600 tons of road salt for the 2016/17 winter season.
On September 6, 2016, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
Financial Impact
Funds will be requested in the Fiscal Year 2017 Budget, line item 010-5002-462600 for the purchase of 5,600 tons of salt.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of road salt from Morton Salt, Chicago, Illinois, for the 2016-2017 winter season, for a cost not to exceed $59.71 per ton and a total cost not to exceed the remaining Fiscal Year 2016 budget and the Fiscal Year 2017 Board approved budgeted amount.
