About this file
This is Amendment 1 to a Questions and Answers document for Request for Proposal 23-049 issued by the State of Michigan for a pilot project involving liquid deicer products with agricultural byproduct (ABP) and liquid chloride brine. The procurement involves two Michigan Department of Transportation garage facilities: Mt. Pleasant Garage and Grand Ledge Garage, which have been conducting pilot programs to evaluate alternative deicing materials since late 2021.
The amendment addresses bidder inquiries regarding product specifications and historical usage data. Mt. Pleasant Garage has used 147,000 gallons of Deice Master Plus since November 2021, while Grand Ledge Garage has applied 45,000 gallons of Deice Master Plus and 6,400 gallons of BOOST since February 2022. The State clarified that the minimum chloride specification of 18 percent refers to the chloride component content of the product, regardless of whether it is formulated with or without agricultural byproduct. Additionally, vendors are required to disclose the specific ABP base material used and the percentage composition of ABP in their proposed products to ensure transparency and product consistency across the pilot program.
