About this file

This is an Invitation to Negotiate issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for the procurement of deicing chemicals and related services. MDOT seeks to purchase up to 300,000 gallons of De-Ice Master+ (containing 10% Iceban 100) plus storage tank rental services for the 2021/2022 winter season at two MDOT garage facilities. The purchase is intended to maintain consistency with previous pilot evaluation efforts for direct liquid application route operations. The contract is for one season only with no renewal options. The intended source is Michigan Chloride, located in St. Louis, Michigan. Questions regarding the solicitation were due by 3:00 p.m. on August 3, 2021, and responses from potential bidders claiming equivalent products or services were due by 3:00 p.m. on August 11, 2021. The solicitation references commodity codes 98169 for storage tank rental and 19246 for ice and snow removal chemicals.

No specific pricing terms, cost estimates, or funding information is provided in the document. The notice indicates this is a single-source procurement based on MDOT's belief that no viable alternative exists, though the invitation process allows competing vendors to demonstrate equivalent products. The document notes that subsequent winter seasons for the direct liquid pilot program will seek additional liquid deicing chemical products that include agricultural byproducts, suggesting this initial contract is a pilot phase for establishing operational protocols and product performance baselines.
