This project is included in the City of Dublin's fiscal year 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of December 8, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is allotted to fiscal year 2025. A detailed scope has not yet been released.
The City currently has two 2,000 ton salt barns. This project would build storage with a capacity of 10 to 12 thousand tons. This capacity will ensure ample salt supplies during harsh winters. The type, number and layout of the structure(s) has yet to be determined. Small repairs are being made to the current structures to keep them operational. This request also accounts for a new brine system for snow events. The new system will allow for better tracking of salt usage, which will help the city reduce salt waste during snow events and ultimately reduce costs. The existing limited capacity of the salt barns necessitates frequent refilling during the snow removal season when demand for salt is at its peak. A higher capacity barn will help to ensure that the City has adequate supplies and will enable purchases to occur when salt prices are favorable. The brine system is important to help monitor the use of salt during snow events. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
