Summary

The Acton Board of Selectmen voted unanimously Dec. 8 to accept a Morton Salt bid priced at $63.55 per ton, approximately $5 per ton lower than an alternative COG bid, resolving an outstanding procurement decision for winter road maintenance.

The Acton Board of Selectmen voted Dec. 8 to accept a Morton Salt bid at $63.55 per ton for road salt after discussing a higher COG bid and the town’s procurement options. Selectman Kimberly Stacey-Horn moved to accept the Morton Salt bid; Selectman David Winchell Jr. seconded, and the motion passed with the Board recording 'all in favor.'

Board members said the lower price was preferred by the town’s road commissioners, who had been consulted by the Town Administrator during the bid review process. The action closes the open procurement item identified under Old Business and commits the town to the Morton Salt price for the pending winter season.
