Public Content
Information
For many years, the Public Works Department has purchased and applied liquid pre -wetting chemicals to augment the
effectiveness of road salt during snow and ice control operations. Spraying these chemicals on road salt as it is spread
from trucks helps to jump-start the melting process. These chemicals also play an important role in lowering the effective
melting range of road salt. Notably, chemicals containing chlorides help salt to melt at temperatures as low as zero
degrees Fahrenheit.
To facilitate the procurement of these materials, staff prepared detailed bid specifications and solicited bids from four (4)
industrial chemicals suppliers and posted a public notice on the Onvia Demandstar website (online bidding house).
Bid Results
Sealed bids were opened at 1:00 PM on November 5, 2018 and read aloud. Four (4) bids were received. The results are
noted in Table 1 below. Table 2 depicts current prices for bid materials purchased through current joint purchasing
contracts.

The lowest cost bidder for both salt brine and calcium chloride is Gasaway Distributors of Romeoville, Illinois (Gasaway).
Gasaway was the only bidder to supply pricing for both chemicals and the unit prices for each were lower than competitive
bids. In addition, Gasaway's unit costs are lower than rates available on current joint purchasing contracts administered by
the Suburban Purchasing Cooperative (Northwest Municipal Conference) and the State of Illinois Central Management
Services (CMS). Gasaway has successfully fulfilled similar contracts for the Village of Mount Prospect in the past.
Gasaway's references indicated that the firm has successfully fulfilled similar contracts for several other Chicago area
municipalities.
