When does the price of salt automatically increase when using the State OGS bid?

The contract for salt using state bid has several limits which are very important to follow. Please click here for a table that shows the important issues relative to the filed requirement amount for a given area/County.

Suppliers must deliver salt against contract or face a “Buy Against” or a delivery price deduction

*Note: Salt suppliers may request additional increases if their cost exceed the 15% escalation. The supplier is required to provide documentation to substantiate the increase.

Also, note that the salt price is subject to a fuel price adjustment.
