Guarantee Salt Amounts.xlsx

This is a salt procurement specification document for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, detailing guaranteed salt amounts and distribution across three highway districts (4, 7, and 8). The document establishes early fill salt stockpiling requirements for winter road maintenance operations. District 4 requires a total seasonal fill of 4,000 tons, with early fill options at 80%, 100%, and 120% capacity levels (3,200, 4,000, and 4,800 tons respectively). District 7, serving the largest geographic area, requires 13,000 tons total seasonal fill with corresponding early fill options of 6,400, 8,000, and 9,600 tons across multiple county locations including Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison (including a regional facility), Mercer, Montgomery, Scott, and Woodford. District 8 specifies 1,000 tons total seasonal fill for Rockcastle location with early fill options of 560, 700, and 840 tons.

The document establishes a tiered early fill structure allowing flexibility in salt procurement timing and quantities, with percentages at 80%, 100%, and 120% of total seasonal requirements. This approach enables the state to optimize salt inventory management based on weather forecasts and supply chain conditions while maintaining minimum operational thresholds across all three districts. The specification indicates guaranteed minimum purchase commitments across multiple distribution points, with District 7 locations representing the primary salt distribution hub for eastern and central Kentucky operations.
