Qes F Ud 6M • Crudwed heck Salt
Dear Sir:
.I/
Because the bid pricei of each of the four bidders in
the above contract were 14*nti , it is necessary to consider
other factors in making a rec ndation for the award of the
contract.
In the•past, Cutle Magner Campany has established an .
excellent record in prompts a of delivery of orders placed.by
the Department of Public Wo s• Mile the department has never
purchased salt from Cargo tors Ines the ability of'this
company to make prompt del verj ie indieated by the fact that its
stock piles are located. close to SU Paul.
For these rea so We Department of Public Mortis re-
coamends that this Contr ct be divided between the er
Ccapwq and C Inc.* with each company ing'requ red
to supply Opare or sag of the amount of the contract. It is
also recommmkded that' ipmsnts from both companies should be by
rail.
Y ory truly

Subject: ;, CARGO CARRIERS, INC.,
FORMAT. BID #6590 - CRUSHED ROCK SALT
On the above numbered Formal Bid, we asked for quotations
on Crushed Rock Salt shipped via rail and via truck„
Recommendation was made by the Department of Public Works
to award contract on the basis of rail shipments (see copy
of recommendation letter attached)p
The Public Works have ordered some of this salt for shipment
via truck and have written us the following letter as an explana-
tion*
"It is true that rail shipments were recommended; however we asked
for rail and truck delivery rates,At the start of the season the
Cargil Company had no rail rates and were only able to ship by truck.
The Contract was split between Cargil and Cutler- Magner which meant
we were to purchase approximate equal amounts from each,, We demanded
s It from Cargil most of the winter and they were forced to s i b
truck :t rail rates, thus absor ins the loss. On Feb. 24 the Cargil
C9. received their rail rates. By that time we had realized that
their particular type of truck delivery was tailor -made for our needs
due to the fact that we could get salt from Savage in a matter of a
couple of hours in an emergency„ The first week of March we got snow
and needed salt. I` alled Mr.. Tonnemaker and asked him to ship some by
ruck because we needed it right then and at the same time I ordered 3,
carloads to come by rail realizing that the rail delivery would t-1--
several days; Mr. nn er advised me at that time that due to the
r
a t-th-AE—they had received their rail rates he would have to charge us
the truck rates for all salt delivered by truck after Feb, 24* I think
if Purchasing checks the original bids and contract the, will find that
t1ie`'sa compare es ad to submit b es •f �de truc k an ra o Rai rices were 13,75 per ton and t$14..35 per
a difference o 0 cents per ton*,_ I believe Cargil Co* was justified i
billing us at truck rates after Feb. 24 and certainly it helped us
tremendously because we needed salt in a hurry and they were willing to
deliver*"
In view of the recommendation made by the Public Works Department and
contract made accordingly, kindly give us opinion how to handle t
billing at the truck rate which totals $3W, 2q.
