recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a request by Facilities and Operations to increase allowable spending with Chemco, Ficks, Rock Bottom, and possibly other vendors if inventory is not available in an amount not to exceed $80,000.00 to provide for the purchase of bulk salt and landscape supplies.
BACKGROUND:
Facilities and Operations staff maintain the parking lots and sidewalks throughout the county. Due to the winter weather and rising costs of salt we have reached the allowable spending with these vendors without further approval.

By approving this request it will ensure we have continuous supplies of salt during the winter months, and landscape supplies as needed later in the year. Purchases are made based on availability and costs.

None.

Funds will be paid out of accounts below depending on the need:
