ITEM SUMMARY:
For FY 2023, or for the 2023-2024 winter season, City staff participated in the DuPage County Road Salt
Purchasing Program for the purchase of road salt. On Wednesday, March 1, 2023, City staff submitted
information to DuPage County of the City’s intent to participate in its Road Salt Purchasing Program for the
purchase of 2,000 tons of road salt (1,600 tons (80%) minimum purchase required and 2,600 tons (130%)
maximum purchase guaranteed available). It should be noted that purchase of Road Salt has decreased by 1,500
tons from 2023-2023 season due to less than average winter season as well as operational efficiencies
implemented by staff.
