Council approves annual rock/asphalt bid and locks in salt price
Summary
Leitchfield accepted the annual rock and asphalt bid from Tennessee Asphalt/Scotty's and authorized staff to lock in a reverse-auction salt price of $173 per ton (up from $138 last year); both motions passed by voice vote.
Leitchfield City Council approved two procurement items on routine consent: the annual rock and asphalt contract recommendation and a reverse-auction salt bid that will lock in up to 200 tons at $173 per ton.
Public works staff recommended awarding the rock and asphalt bid to Tennessee Asphalt (Scotty’s), noting the price was close to last year’s, and the council approved that recommendation by voice vote. Staff said the vendor has been reliable and has kept prices reasonable.
On salt procurement, staff reported the low bid in a reverse auction was $173 per ton (compared with $138 per ton last year) and recommended accepting that bid to lock the price for the upcoming season; council voted to accept the bid and authorized staff to submit an acceptance letter and arrange delivery as needed.
Council did not record exact vote tallies beyond unanimous voice approvals. Staff indicated they may purchase up to 200 tons but are not obligated to buy the full amount if needs change during the year.
