Township weighs salt‑building options after one bid near $40,000
Summary
The board reviewed a single bid of about $40,000 for a salt building and discussed lower‑cost alternatives—40‑foot storage containers, pole structures with rough cut, or Jersey block foundations—leaving the item on the table for further review.
Board members reported that one bid for the salt building came in close to $40,000 and discussed lower‑cost alternatives including two 40‑foot storage containers with sidewalls and a roof, pole‑frame structures with rough cut siding, or Jersey block foundations. "Pretty close to $40,000," a board member said when asked about the single bid; other members suggested containers would be the cheapest immediate option and might be easier to replace if damaged.
Members agreed to keep the salt building discussion on the table while staff collect additional quotes and assess long‑term durability and maintenance tradeoffs. They noted that mixing ash with salt and operational considerations (taps, site access) could affect the final design and cost.
