Council action is requested to expend $400,000 ($200,000 for FY 2023-2024 and $200,000 for FY 2024-2025) to Central Salt, LLC for Salt for the Municipal Services Department.

Council approval for two fiscal years expenditures.

The Municipal Services Department/Street Maintenance Division annually purchases salt for application to roadways during inclement weather in the winter months. Street Maintenance needs a supplier who must stockpile product at a quoted delivered price. The supplier must also deliver the product within a specified period of time after receipt of a requested order. Municipal Services entered into a contract with Central Salt as a result of an Invitation to Bid (ITB) which was approved by Council in 2022. This request is for approval of expenditures to pay for salt for fiscal years 2024 and 2025.

Approval of this item authorizes the Finance Director to issue change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount, so long as appropriations are available.

The fiscal impact to the City is $400,000.00. Funding for $200,000.00 of salt is included in the fiscal year 2023-2024 proposed budget, page 160, account number (5112-5309) for Operating Supplies. Subject to annual budget appropriation, $200,000 will be included in the fiscal year 2024-2025 proposed budget, account number (5112-5309) Operating Supplies.
