This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Hartford, Connecticut. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The intent of this bidding effort is to secure qualified suppliers of treated road salt for winter road maintenance. The desired product shall include a mixture of Sodium Chloride (road salt) treated with Liquid Magnesium Chloride or Liquid Calcium Chloride and Organic Based Performance Enhancer (LMC/LCC/OBPE). The liquid treatment is intended to enhance the performance of the road salt by reducing corrosiveness, improving low temperature performance, reducing bounce and scatter, preventing clumping, salt pile freezing and enhancing flowability. The awarded vendor(s) must have product available to fulfill all orders for deliveries between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. The salt and magnesium chloride or salt and calcium chloride/OBPE shall be mixed as described in this section to produce the finished product. CRPC members reserve the right to take samples from the contractor's stockpile or transfer point before the salt is mixed with the LMC/LCC/OBPE. Samples of both the salt and the LMC/OBPE may be taken. The contractor will thoroughly mix a minimum of 8 gallons of LMC/LCC/OBPE per ton of salt. The contractor shall ensure a consistent thorough mix (e.g. spray system, pug mill, conveyor) so there is maximum coverage of the liquid on the salt crystals (loader mixing and stockpile injection methods are not acceptable) and will specify the mix method on the bid. Trucks must be weighed on a certified scale with printout after loading the final product and prior to delivery. The weight ticket shall contain the net weight of the final product and the stockpile source. The certification must bear the weighmaster's signature. Handwritten weights are not acceptable. All shipments of the product shall be accompanied by a ticket indicating the amount of LMC/LCC/OBPE mixed in with the finished product. This amount will be indicated on the tickets in gallons and may be machine printed or handwritten.
