CONSENT AGENDA - Michael Ulrich, Public Works Director
Title
APPROVE 2015 - 2016 DEICING CHEMICAL CONTRACT PURCHASE FOR $292,560.00
Background
Staff is requesting City Council approval of the deicing salt contract for the 2015- 16 winter seasons. The contracted amount of salt for this season is 4,000 tons, at $73.14 per ton delivered. There is also a provision for a fuel surcharge in this contract that could become a factor throughout the season, depending on future fuel prices. Staff will monitor our supply and this condition. The contract is part of the State of Minnesota cooperative purchasing agreement and is in effect from July of 2015 through June of 2016. Approval of the 2016 purchases with Compass Materials American Inc. will be contingent upon the Council’s approval of the 2016 budgeted amount of $292,560. Should additional chemicals be required in 2016, staff will request appropriate funding approval at that time.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the 2015-16 deicing chemical contract with Compass Materials American Inc. for $292,560.00.
