Description

Salt Lake County is seeking to enter into a sole source procurement for the purchase of Dura Edge Baseball Infield Mix. The current infield mix used by the county is no longer available from previous suppliers, and Dura Edge closely matches the existing mix composition, allowing for compatibility and improved field maintenance. The procurement is justified due to the unique composition of Dura Edge, which provides better workability and reduced maintenance costs compared to other mixes with higher clay content. The county estimates costs of $50,000 per year for five years, totaling $250,000.
