Jonathan Ibarra, Superintendent
Street Department
Winter Road Salt
To approve the purchase of winter road salt from Granite State Minerals of
Portsmouth, NH and Eastern Minerals, Inc. of Chelsea, MA for a total amount of
$455,000. Funding will be through Department: 161 Streets; Fund: General;
Account Classification: 61 Supplies and Materials.
State of NH Notice of Contract for Salt.
Quote from Eastern Minerals
Granite State Minerals has been awarded the State of NH salt contract with a price
of $49.50 a ton delivered. Eastern Minerals has agreed to supply salt to the City of
Nashua at the State Bid price of $49.50 per ton. Both Eastern Minerals and
Granite State minerals have been contracted with the City in the past years and
have a great track record of on time salt deliveries. For this reason the
Superintendent recommends we continue to do business with Granite State
Minerals and Eastern Minerals. Also worth mentioning is this year’s salt price per
ton has dropped from last year’s salt price of $54.00 per ton delivered.
The City budgeted for a total of 9,191 tons or a budgeted value of $455,000.
