Committee approves Compass Minerals salt purchase at $74.33 per ton for 2026–27 season
Summary
The committee accepted a DuPage County joint‑purchase award to Compass Minerals America at $74.33 per ton for bulk rock salt — a $3.54 per‑ton increase from last year — and approved the resolution by voice vote.
The finance committee approved a resolution on June 25 authorizing the purchase of bulk rock salt through the DuPage County joint‑purchasing agreement.
Adrian Perez, superintendent of streets, said the county bid awarded Compass Minerals America Inc. the contract at $74.33 per ton for the 2026–27 season, an increase of $3.54 per ton from the prior year. Perez said the rule increases reflect higher fuel and other input costs, and that the city will return later with the second portion of annual salt procurement after the state bid process concludes.
The committee approved the purchase by voice vote, 5–0.
Next steps: staff will finalize the county contract execution and return with the secondary procurement portion when state pricing is available.
