Suppliers decline city highway salt solicitation; central services to review next steps
Summary
The city announced no bids were submitted by Morton Salt, Compass Minerals and Cargill for a highway ice-control salt solicitation; the Chair said the matter will be referred to central services for follow-up.
City officials announced during a bid opening that several suppliers declined to submit bids for the city's highway bulk ice-control salt solicitation for the upcoming winter season.
The chair read a written response from Morton Salt Inc. indicating it had submitted 'no bid.' The chair also read a response from Compass Minerals stating, "Regrettably, we will be unable to submit a bid at this time," and a written notice from Cargill Incorporated declining to submit a bid and returning the bid package. The chair said those responses will be forwarded to the central services department to determine the city's next steps for procuring winter salt.
Board members did not take further action on the procurement at the meeting; no purchase award was made and staff were directed to handle follow-up administratively.
