The Department of Public Works is requesting the Legislature’s approval to purchase road salt from Morton Salt, the selected vendor for Albany County on NYS OGS State Contract PC70460 Award 23449, for the snow and ice removal on County and State Highways. We estimate that we will purchase approximately 26,000 tons of road salt during 2026-2027 Snow and Ice Season at $74.80 per ton. These funds come from 2026 and 2027 appropriations not to exceed $1,944,800.00.
