City of Nashua, Public Works Division
Board of Public Works Meeting Date: November 18, 2021
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 in the amount of
$465,000. Funding will be through Department: 161 Streets; Fund: General;
Account Classification: 61 Supplies and Materials.
Quote from Eastern Minerals / Quote from Granite State Minerals
Granite State Minerals has been awarded the State of NH salt contract with a price
of $72.60 a ton delivered. Eastern Minerals and Granite State minerals have
agreed to supply salt to the City of Nashua at the price of $72.00 per ton, this is a
significant price increase from last year’s price of 49.50 a ton which impacts how
many tons we will actually procure for the budgeted 465,000. This year’s budget
will pay for 6,458 tons in contrast to last year’s 9,393 tons. Both Eastern Minerals
and Granite State minerals have been contracted with the City in the past years
and have a good 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.
