Title
Sidewalk Salt Order for Village Buildings
History
The winter season is forth coming and the Village needs to place the annual order for sidewalk deicer. The Parks & Grounds Department requested three quotes for sidewalk deicer. Staff received quotes from Russo’s Power Equipment, Midwest Salt, and Shades of Green Turf Supply.
Shades of Green Turf Supply have been the villages supplier for the past several years and they have provided us with a quote of $7.90 per bag. The product that Shades of Green Turf Supply has quoted is the baseline product and established the standard for the other companies to quote a comparable product. Midwest salt provided a quote of $7.05 per bag. Russo’s Power Equipment provided a quote of $6.50 per bag along with an additional early bird discount of $318.50.
Staff is requesting the approval of funding for the first order in the amount of $6,051.50 for 980 bags of sidewalk salt from Russo's Power Equipment. Staff also requests the approval to spend the remaining budgeted (total budgeted amount is $11,971.00) amount as needed for the remainder of FY2017.
On October 16, 2017, this item was reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Committee, recommended for approval, and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
