Patel, P.E., CFM, Director of Public Works SIGNATURE---------- ITEM SUMMARY: For FY 2025, or for the 2025-2026 winter season, City staff participated in the DuPage County Road Salt Purchasing Program for the purchase of road salt. In March 2025, City staff submitted information to DuPage County of the City's intent to participate in its Road Salt Purchasing Program for the purchase of 1,600 tons of road salt (1,280 tons (80%) minimum purchase required and 2,080 tons (130%) maximum purchase guaranteed available). It should be noted that the purchase of Road Salt has decreased by 400 tons since the 2023-2024 season and remained flat since the 2024-2025 season due to less than average usage during our last winter season as well as operational efficiencies implemented by staff, such as frequent usage of liquids and reduction of salt per lane mile. On Thursday, June 5, 2025, DuPage County opened bids for BID#25-0SAL T-02-MS. Bid results are shown below, with Compass Minerals America, Inc. of Overland Park, Kansas, submitting the lowest responsible bid of $70.79 per ton of road salt delivered. Following the bid opening, DuPage County advised all program participants that it would be awarding its 2025-2026 salt procurement contract to Compass Minerals America, Inc. Each participating agency is required to award its own contract. Compass Minerals America, Inc. is required to hold its bid prices for 90 days; a contracVcommitment from the City of West Chicago is required prior to September 3, 2025. The City of West Chicago is grouped with other local agencies in bid category Group 28, which means the salt delivery will take place after December 1, 2025. The bid pricing below only represents Group 28 pricing.
