Acting Commissioner Lojan explains DSNY's process for procuring road salt and calcium brine. The department maintains established contracts with multiple vendors to ensure a steady supply.
- DSNY has established contracts with multiple vendors for salt, calcium chloride, and brine
- These contracts allow for replenishment of stockpiles as needed
- Deliveries are scheduled before the snow season to ensure full replenishment
- Additional deliveries are made after each snow event to maintain stock levels
- The established contracts eliminate the need to go through a new procurement process for each delivery or season
