Utilizing the site of the UCRTS would provide a reliable supply of salt nearby. Mr. Pearson suggested that they would benefit from approximately 1 acre of land with rail access, a small pit and truck scale, and possibly office space. Mr. Jack pointed out that by bidding, Mr. Pearson would be obligated to provide the product and inquired what the tangible benefit would be to the towns. Mr, Pearson responded that the company would save money if it did not store the salt in New Bedford, maximizing rail use and possibly allow a lower salt price for the towns, though he was not sure how much. Mr. Jack suggested a return for being the host community. The Chair inquired whether more than one shipload would be acquired and Mr. Pearson confirmed that there would be another ship load. Mr. Jack inquired about trucking the salt and Mr. Pearson responded that he had a contract with Gallo Construction who will maintain the pile and use their resources to ensure that the salt is delivered. Mr. Tilton emphasized that reliability was critical, Mr. Pearson offered to have the owner of the Connecticut company jointly present prior to approving his bid. The Chair stated that consideration of utilizing the UCRTS site would be separate from the bid. Mr. Pearson responded that the site was not necessary for this year, but would be preferable. Mr. Goddard pointed out that salt at the site would need to be approved by JBCC and Mr. Pearson confirmed that he would meet all environmental requirements. There was consensus to have a group meeting next week.
