Time to Melt that ICE! eBridge partners with city to renew road salt contract

A mid-western city partnered with eBridge yet again to establish a road salt bid with one year extensions for the next four years.  eBridge established the city’s road salt contract 5 years prior and with the contract up for renewal, the city looked to our team of purchasing professionals to deliver for them, yet again.

As purchasing professionals know, establishing road salt contracts early in the year helps your organization get a competitive market price for your purchasing jurisdiction.

The city anticipated a specific price per ton, however, at the conclusion of the reverse auction event, the auction yielded a low bid 15.38% lower.
