Select Board unanimously awards 2026–27 road‑salt contract to Granite State Minerals
Summary
Public works superintendent recommended awarding the 2026–27 roadside winter salt bid to Granite State Minerals at $77.77 per ton; the Select Board approved the motion 5–0 after brief discussion.
Tim DePerio, superintendent of public works, told the Select Board the town solicited bids through statewide and regional procurement pools and received multiple quotes before recommending a local supplier. “Our recommendation is to award the 2026, 2027 roadside bid to Granite State Minerals Inc, who provided the low bid of $77.77 per ton,” DePerio said.
Board members moved and seconded the recommendation without extended discussion; the roll call produced five yes votes and the motion carried 5–0. The superintendent said the $77.77/ton price is roughly $2.77/ton higher than last year’s $75 per ton and is the best of the quotes the town solicited, including a comparison to MDOT and SMPDC bids.
