Tinmouth Select Board accepts Cargill salt bid for winter season
Summary
The select board accepted Cargill’s bid after comparing prices: Cargill offered mined rock salt at $87.25/ton and treated deicer at $98.75/ton, lower than a competing quote. The board instructed staff to sign and return the quote to set up the account.
The Tinmouth Select Board voted to accept Cargill’s seasonal salt bid after reviewing competitive quotes and discussing logistics. The board heard that Cargill’s offer was $87.25 per ton for mined rock salt and $98.75 per ton for a treated deicer product, compared with another bidder’s approximately $89.99/ton and $99.99/ton. A board member moved to accept Cargill’s bid and the motion was seconded; the select board agreed and asked staff to arrange signature and account setup with the vendor.
Cargill’s representative on the call (introduced by the board) said the company would process the quote once the town signs and returns it; the board chair agreed to sign and have the document scanned back to the vendor. No objections were recorded. The board did not specify delivery logistics or a formal vote tally in the public record beyond the motion and assent.
