No stone bids received; Salem Township to rebid aggregate materials
Summary
The board opened aggregate bids for several stone products but recorded that no stone bids were received. Officials said they will re-advertise and plan to award at the June meeting; minutes suggest local demand (e.g., a power plant) may be affecting supply.
The Salem Township Board opened bids for aggregate materials at its May 18 meeting — including dust, #8, #67, #57, 2RC modified, #1 aggregate, rip rap R4/R5 and anti-skid — but the minutes record that "NO STONE BIDS WERE RECEIVED. IT WILL NEED REBID."
Supervisors discussed current inventory (the township placed an order before the previous contract expired to fill bins) and noted they may run low on dust. Supervisor Todd Paulich suggested the local power plant could be drawing from suppliers and reducing availability. The board plans to re-advertise and place a motion on the May 20 agenda to readvertise for stone bids, with awards expected at the June meeting.
The minutes mark the item as not applicable for holding bids (no bids received); the board will proceed with re-advertisement and future award procedures once bids are received.
