10-PCID 1178 Calcium Chloride (1).pdf

This is a product specification document for calcium chloride de-icing material supplied to various Pennsylvania state agencies. The document outlines detailed specifications for 50-pound bags of calcium chloride used as a de-icing agent for melting snow and ice during winter events. The calcium chloride must meet American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D2688 standards, with specific requirements including a minimum calcium chloride content of 77 percent, maximum moisture content of 2 percent, and specific physical characteristics such as granule size and anti-caking properties. The material must be supplied in heavy-duty polyethylene bags capable of withstanding handling and storage conditions, with proper labeling indicating product name, manufacturer information, weight, and compliance certifications. This specification document is part of supplemental solicitations IFB 6100060797, 6100061430, and 6100066274, which collectively address the state's need for bagged de-icing materials.

The specification requirements mandate that the calcium chloride meet strict quality standards to ensure effective performance in winter maintenance operations across multiple state agencies. Suppliers must provide products that comply with federal and state standards for chemical composition, purity, and packaging integrity. The document emphasizes the importance of consistent product quality and proper storage conditions to maintain the effectiveness of the de-icing material throughout the winter season. Vendors responding to this supplemental solicitation should ensure their calcium chloride products meet all specified performance criteria and are properly certified for use in public de-icing applications.
