About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for Invitation to Negotiate Number 210000000049, posted on August 4, 2021. The procurement seeks a blended liquid deicer product containing Agricultural Byproduct (ABP) for a liquid route application pilot program. MDOT estimates the need for 20,000 gallons of tank storage rental at each facility and anticipates consumption between 1,500 to 6,000 gallons per application depending on weather events and operational requirements. The pilot project is designed to establish baseline performance data on liquid deicer effectiveness and service level maintenance across multiple locations. Clear Roads Qualified Products List (QPL) approval is not required for the liquid product.
The procurement focuses on supplying a ready-to-use blended liquid deicer rather than an additive only, allowing MDOT to maintain consistency across all pilot locations. ABP inclusion is essential to meet pilot objectives and establish performance baselines. The document clarifies that technical specifications and worksheets were made available through the SIGMA VSS system in both Word and PDF formats to accommodate vendor access and submission requirements.
