This addendum modifies the FY27 Multi-Town Invitation to Bid for Rock Salt for Snow & Ice Control issued by the Hampden-Wilbraham Regional School District on behalf of a 13-municipality consortium. The addendum, dated August 13, 2026, clarifies that the Town of Palmer has withdrawn from the procurement and is no longer a participating municipality. Sealed bids for Sodium Chloride (Rock Salt) for snow and ice control purposes are due September 10, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the Superintendent of Schools office, 621 Main Street, Wilbraham, Massachusetts.
