RFQ 17A 250604-0268 Bid Prices.xlsx

This document is a bid price spreadsheet for Road Salt procurement for select Maine municipalities and political subdivisions across multiple counties for the 2025-2026 winter season. The comprehensive bid opportunity covers 155,272 total tons of road salt to be distributed among 146 municipalities and four University of Maine campuses, spanning 16 counties including Androscoggin, Aroostook, Cumberland, Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Sagadahoc, Somerset, Waldo, Washington, and York. The contract appears to be a state-wide cooperative purchasing agreement enabling municipalities to acquire road salt at a fixed price.

The bid pricing document indicates a uniform pricing structure with a notable stipulation that "One Price will not accept any additional charges during the length of this contract." Municipalities vary significantly in their projected road salt needs, ranging from as low as 35 tons (Portage Lake) to as high as 6,300 tons (Portland). The University of Maine campuses are also included, with allocations ranging from 96 to 800 tons. While specific per-ton pricing is not visible in this summary, the document suggests a standardized pricing approach across all participating municipalities, which could provide cost predictability and potential economies of scale for smaller communities participating in the cooperative purchasing arrangement.
