Explanation

The Transportation Division is responsible for snow and ice control and removal on the City's roadway system. Rock salt is used extensively in this operation. Formal competitive bids were solicited and received and the Purchasing Office established a citywide universal term contract (FL003290-expiring July 31, 2009) with Cargill, Incorporated - Deicing Technology (cc#41-0177680 expiring July 26, 2008).

It is necessary that the Transportation Division purchase rock salt for 2007 - 2008 winter season. This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to establish a purchase order for the purchase of rock salt for the Transportation Division consistent with the terms and conditions of the citywide term contract in the amount of $800,000.00 and to declare an emergency.

Fiscal Impact: This expense is budgeted in the Transportation Division's 2007 Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund. The Division spent $846,416.00 during the winter of 2006 - 2007 for rock salt.
