Greendale awards water‑plant salt contract to Morton after two bids
Summary
After reviewing two bids for salt supply for the water treatment plant, the Board of Works voted to award the contract to Morton for approximately $161,000; Compass Minerals had earlier provided a $137/ton delivered price that was discussed during the meeting.
At the July 11 Board of Works meeting, members reviewed two bids for rock salt to supply Greendale’s water treatment plant and voted to award the contract to Morton.
Staff presented bids from Compass Minerals and Morton Salt. Compass Minerals’ delivered price was discussed in meeting materials at about $137 per ton; Morton’s submission was reported as a total bid figure (shown in the packet around $161,616). After board discussion about total tonnage and per‑ton breakdowns, a board member moved to award the salt contract to Morton for roughly $161,000; the motion was seconded and the board approved the award by voice vote.
Why it matters: procurement decisions for utility supplies affect operating costs for the water treatment plant and can influence budget planning for the department. Board members asked staff to verify quantities and totals with Anthony before finalizing purchase orders.
The board recorded the award at the meeting; staff were directed to follow up on quantity verification and scheduling of deliveries.
