BACKGROUND:
The City of Joliet orders rock salt annually each spring for use in roadway snow clearing through the State of Illinois Joint Participation Program. The State administers the bidding process and typically awards a contract in October.
As of 2024, the State of Illinois requires proof that the individual placing the rock salt order has the authority to do so. This new requirement necessitates that the City of Joliet pass a resolution granting the appropriate authority to enter into a Joint Participation Agreement. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration is requesting that the City Manager and the Director of Public Works be designated as the City’s official signatories for State of Illinois Joint Participation Agreements.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Council approve the attached Resolution designating the City Manager and the Director of Public Works as the City’s official signatories for State of Illinois Joint Participation Agreements.
