City awards road‑salt contract to Nature's Landscape Supply at $138 per ton
Summary
Following a KLC reverse‑bid process, the commission awarded the zone‑7 road‑salt contract to Nature's Landscape Supply at $138 per ton (including delivery); higher bids from Morton, Cargill and Compass Minerals were listed during the presentation.
The commission approved awarding the city’s road‑salt purchase (zone 7) to Nature's Landscape Supply at a bid price of $138 per ton, including delivery, following a Kentucky League of Cities reverse‑bidding process.
Daryl reported auction results showing a range of bids: Nature's Landscape Supply at $138 per ton, Morton at $154 per ton, Cargill at $200 per ton and Compass Minerals at $300 per ton. The motion to award to Nature's Landscape Supply was made and seconded; commissioners asked if the bidder could supply the city and were told delivery was included in the submitted bid.
Why it matters: securing salt at competitive prices helps the city manage winter operations and contingency availability in case of regional shortages. The awarded contract includes delivery; staff will execute contract documents and return signed agreements to the mayor for signature.
What’s next: staff will finalize contract execution and confirm delivery logistics with the vendor.
