2.5 Lots 5 & 6 – Treated Salt – Granular Sodium Chloride Treated with Corrosion Inhibited Liquid Magnesium Chloride It is the intent of this specification to describe a mixture of Sodium Chloride Type “A” crushed rock salt treated with corrosion inhibited Liquid Magnesium Chloride product. The treatment is intended to enhance the performance of the product over untreated salt by reducing corrosiveness, improving low temperature performance, reducing bounce and scatter, preventing clumping, salt pile freezing and enhancing flowability. The treated salt is intended to be used to facilitate snow and ice prevention and removal on New York State roads and bridges. The end product treated salt will be categorized as either Type I or Type II treated salt depending on the specific type of corrosion inhibited magnesium chloride product used to treat the salt. The defining characteristics of Type I and Type II treatment can be found summarized in the table found on page 36.

The finished product shall be composed of two primary constituents:

a. Crushed rock salt as described and specified in Section A below.

b. A corrosion inhibited Liquid Magnesium Chloride product described and specified in Section B below.

The two components shall be mixed to produce a finished product as described in Section C. The final product shall meet all the requirements described in Section D, also below.

NOTE: A separate Bidder Certified Product Data Sheet MUST be submitted for each of the two components being utilized by the vendor to construct the final product.

2.5.1 SECTION A: Sodium Chloride Type “A” Crushed Rock Salt Specifications:

The crushed rock salt used in the preparation of the final product shall meet the following requirements.

• CONTAMINATION

Upon inspection, the material shall be uniform in appearance, free flowing and free from visual evidence of foreign matter including but not limited to dirt, stone, chips, trash or any other material that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the use, handling or storage of the salt.

• CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Shall be not less than 95% Sodium Chloride. Percent of Sodium Chloride shall be determined in accordance with current ASTM D632.

• SIZE GRADING

The salt, when tested using sieves as described in ASTM D632 (*) shall conform to the following requirements for particle size distribution:

Sieve Size Percent Passing (**)

1/2" - (12.5 MM) 100

3/8" - (9.5 MM) 95 - 100

No. 4 - (4.75 MM) 20 - 90 No. 8 - (2.36 MM) 10 - 60 No. 30 - (600 Microns) 0 - 15

* -A drying temperature of 110°C ± 5°C should be used.

**-Tolerance of 5 percentage points on the maximum value of the range for each sieve except 1/2" (12.5 mm) and 3/8" (9.5 mm) sizes, on which no tolerance will be allowed.

GROUP 32100 – Snow & Ice Control Agents (Statewide) Page 9 of 18

• MOISTURE CONTENT

Moisture content upon delivery shall not exceed 1.5% (*) when determined as follows:

% Moisture = (W1 - W2) x 100

(W1)

W1 = initial weight of sample

W2 = weight of sample after drying to a constant weight at 110°+5°C.

* Procedure shall be in accordance with ANSI/AWWA B200-03, Moisture Determination or the latest revision thereof. A tolerance of 0.5% will be allowed before a deduction is assessed.

• SAMPLING

Sampling shall be done in accordance with current ASTM D632 (or most recent version thereof). The Office of General Services, or any of its authorized representatives, reserves the right to take samples from the contractor’s stockpile or transfer point or from shipments at the point of destination.

The right is also reserved to consider truckloads of treated salt delivered by the contractor to any one agency on a single day to be a single delivery. Price deductions imposed because of deviation from specifications may be imposed on the total day’s delivery.

• ACCEPTANCE

The salt may be rejected if it fails to conform to any of the requirements of this specification.

• NON-COMPLYING PRODUCT - PRICE DEDUCTIONS

o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Moisture

If the moisture content of the salt is found to be above 2.0 %, a deduction for moisture content will be made from the delivered bid price based on the following formula:

Reduced Price/Ton = Delivered Contract Price/Ton x (1.02 - 2X) where: X = Moisture content of the sample (expressed as the decimal equivalent of the percentage of the original sample weight to the nearest 1%) o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Gradation (Particle Size Distribution) If, after delivery, the gradation of the salt is found to be out of tolerance, a deduction from the price shall be made based on the following formula:

Reduced Price/Ton = Delivered Contract Price x (1.00 - Y) where: Y = the decimal equivalent of the total % out of gradation. The % out of tolerance for each sieve shall be to the nearest 1%. The total of the individual sieve tolerance deviations shall be used as Y.

o General A non-complying product - price deduction is not to be assessed unless the proper analysis and test procedures are followed. If the contractor consistently delivers salt found to be above 2% moisture content or consistently not conforming to the gradation requirements, the contract shall be subject to cancellation either in whole or in parts.

• CALCULATIONS

Calculations performed relative to this specification shall be made using the rounding off method of “ASTM Recommended Practice E-29 for Designating Significant Places in Specified Limiting Values”.

• NON-COMPLYING PRODUCT - PRICE DEDUCTIONS

o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Moisture

If the moisture content of the treated salt is found to be above 5.3%, a deduction for moisture content will be made from the delivered bid price based on the following formula:

Reduced Price/Ton = (Delivered Contract Price)/(Tons) x (1.053 – 2X) where: X = Moisture content of the sample (expressed as the decimal equivalent of the percentage of the original sample weight to the nearest 1%) o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Gradation (Particle Size Distribution)

If, after delivery, the gradation of the treated salt is found to be out of tolerance, a deduction from the price shall be made based on the following formula:

Reduced Price/Ton = Delivered Contract Price x (1.00 - Y) where: Y = the decimal equivalent of the total % out of gradation. The % out of tolerance for each sieve shall be to the nearest 1%. The total of the individual sieve tolerance deviations shall be used as Y.

GROUP 32100 – Snow & Ice Control Agents (Statewide) Page 14 of 18 o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Contamination:

If the end user accepts contaminated salt as defined in Section D.1 for operational reasons, a 10% non-complying price deduction may be placed on the contractor by the end user after consultation with the contractor and OGS.

o Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Delivery:

If delivery is not in the timeframe specified in the Delivery Section, a deduction from the price shall be made based on the actual costs incurred as a result of the late/non-delivery. Costs incurred include, but are not limited to the following:

* Increased personnel costs due to demurrage

* Increased costs incurred for treatment of salt on- hand to extend usage

* Costs for cleanup after required application of a “treated” salt product (i.e. salt mixed with sand)

Authorized user will submit to OGS supporting documentation for non-complying product delivery price deduction.

OGS PROCUREMENT SERVICES WILL REVIEW AND WILL HAVE FINAL APPROVAL AS TO

PRICE DEDUCTION APPLIED.

o General

A non-complying product - price deduction is not to be assessed unless the proper analysis and test procedures are followed. If the contractor consistently delivers treated salt found to be above 5.3% moisture content or consistently not conforming to the gradation requirements, the contract shall be subject to cancellation either in whole or in parts.

• CALCULATIONS

Calculations performed relative to this specification shall be made using the rounding off method of “ASTM Recommended Practice E-29 for Designating Significant Places in Specified Limiting Values”.

* -A drying temperature of 110°C + 5°C may be used.

**-Tolerance of 5 percentage points on the maximum value of the range for each sieve except 1/2" (12.5 mm) and 3/8" (9.5 mm) sizes, on which no tolerance will be allowed.

• MOISTURE CONTENT

Moisture content upon delivery shall not exceed 2.5% (*) when determined as follows:

% Moisture = (W1 - W2) x 100 (W1)

W1 = initial weight of sample

W2 = weight of sample after drying to a constant weight at 110°+5°C.

GROUP 32100 – Snow & Ice Control Agents (Statewide) Page 16 of 18

* Procedure shall be in accordance with ANSI/AWWA B200-03, Moisture Determination or the latest revision thereof. A tolerance of 0.5% will be allowed before a deduction is assessed.

Upon request, Bidders shall supply a description of the inhibitor treatment used, quantity of inhibitor used per ton of salt, method of determining the presence of the treatment and information relative to the solubility and photodecomposition of the treating agent. Potential harm to the ecology caused by inhibitor treatment may be cause for rejection of a bid.

Salt delivered in a lumpy condition which requires reprocessing in order to make it usable shall be cause for rejection of the entire delivery, with a replacement delivery to be made at no additional charge to the agency or political subdivision.

If, because of emergency conditions, it is necessary to accept and reprocess the Salt for use, all costs will be charged to the contractor.

• NON-COMPLYING PRODUCT - PRICE DEDUCTIONS

No price deduction is to be assessed unless the proper analysis and test procedures are followed. For sampling results (moisture/gradation) for salt delivered in bulk or by totes, any price deductions will be applied to the entire day’s delivery on the same PO.

If the contractor consistently delivers salt found to be above 2% moisture content for Rock Salt or 2.5% moisture content for Solar Salt or consistently not conforming to the gradation requirements, the contract shall be subject to cancellation.

◌ Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Moisture (Solar Salt)

If, after delivery the moisture content is found to be above 2.5%, a price deduction for moisture content will be made from the delivered bid price base based on the following formula:

Reduced price per ton = delivered contract price per ton x (1.03 - 2X) where X = moisture content of the sample (expressed as the decimal equivalent of the percentage of the original sample weight to the nearest 1%).

Solar Salt with a moisture content higher than 3% may be rejected.

◌ Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Gradation (Particle Size Distribution)

If, after delivery, the gradation of the Salt is found to be out of tolerance a deduction from the price shall be made based on the following formula:

Reduced price per ton = delivered contract price x (1.00 - X) where X = the decimal equivalent of the total % out of gradation less the tolerance. The % out of tolerance for each sieve shall be to the nearest 1%. The total of the individual sieve tolerance deviations shall be used as X.

◌ Non-Complying Product - Price Deduction - Contamination

If the end user accepts contaminated salt as defined in this Section – Inhibitor Treatment for operational reasons, a 10% price deduction may be placed on the contractor by the end user after consultation with the contractor and OGS Procurement Services.

AGENCIES WILL SUBMIT TO OGS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR PRICE DEDUCTION.

OGS PROCUREMENT SERVICES WILL REVIEW AND WILL HAVE FINAL APPROVAL AS TO PRICE
