City approves $11,001.26 emergency purchase of hydrated lime for water treatment
Summary
Dyersburg approved an emergency purchase of hydrated lime for the water department from Mississippi Lime Company (MLC) of Kansas City, Missouri, for $11,001.26 after supplies were depleted and per‑ton prices rose about $80.
The Dyersburg Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved an emergency purchase May 19 of hydrated lime for the water department from Mississippi Lime Company (doing business as MLC), Kansas City, Missouri, in the amount of $11,001.26.
City staff told the board that the supply was depleted and that the city purchased from its usual vendor. The purchase exceeded the $10,000 threshold because the product’s price had risen by about $80 per ton over the past year, staff said; the purchase was characterized as an emergency because the water treatment supply was needed.
Alderman Dennis Moody moved to approve the emergency purchase; Coach Cole seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
