Public works: town accepts COG salt bid at $84.14/ton, saving vs prior estimate
Summary
Public works reported the town will accept the COG salt contract at $84.14/ton (down from an earlier $89/ton figure the board had discussed); staff will bring formal paperwork next week so the board can make a documented motion for the audit trail.
Public works reported that earlier figures circulated for salt procurement were incorrect and that a Cooperative of Governments (COG) bid is available at $84.14 per ton, lower than the $89 per ton the board had previously discussed. The department head said they had accepted the COG pricing and will present the formal bid paperwork at the next meeting so the board can record a proper motion and provide an audit trail for the auditor.
The board discussed the need to document the motion and minutes for transparency. "So I'll bring all that other paperwork next week because you guys can... make an actual motion," the Department head said. The board will review the paperwork and make a formal motion to confirm the procurement in the next meeting.
