Scope of Work Deicing Products.PDF

SCOPE OF WORK

1. Purpose: The City of Branson is requesting quotes to provide bulk deicing products for the period commencing January 1, 2026, with the award of the contract through December 31, 2026. Prices shall include the delivery of the product and unit pricing shall remain fixed for the duration of the contract.

2. General Requirements:

001. Deicing Salt (Sodium Chloride) shall be either Rock Salt #1-medium CC or Solar Salt obtained by evaporation of seawater. The delivered product shall comply with ASTM D 632, Type 1, Grade 1, and Missouri Department of Highway Standards MGS-92- 05F.

1. Sodium Chloride (ROCK SALT)

Sodium chloride shall be in the form of Rock Salt containing at the time of delivery no more than 2.0 percent moisture based on dry weight. 1.0 percent if heated at 110° C for two (2) hours.

2. CHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Sodium Chloride (Deicing Salt), when dried to constant weight as specified above, shall conform to the following requirements:

Sodium Chloride (NaC1), min. percent 95.0 Solubility in boiling distilled water, min., percent 99.0

3. GRADING

Sodium Chloride (DEICING SALT), when dried as specified above, shall conform to the following requirements as determined by laboratory sieves.

TOTAL PERCENT PASSING

Sieve Min. Max ½ inch .............................................................................. 100 min.

⅜ inch ............................................................................... 95/100 No. 4 ................................................................................. 20/90 No. 8 ................................................................................. 10/60 No. 30 ............................................................................... 15 max.

The sieve analysis shall be in accordance with the applicable provisions of current A.A.S.H.T.O. Designation T27.

All Sodium Chloride shall be treated with an anti-caking agent and meet A.S.T.M., A.A.S.H.T.O., MoDOT Specifications, and grade CC.

Evaporated salt from mines shall not be furnished in lieu of Rock Salt or Solar Salt.

002. ClearLane® enhanced deicer or approved equal enhanced deicing salt product containing a pre-wetting agent, coloring agent, and a corrosion inhibitor. Enhanced deicer shall protect exposed steel surfaces from damp salt corrosion and remain free flowing at low temperatures. Enhanced deicer shall adhere to the road surface more effectively than dry salt, minimizing loss of deicer from wind and traffic scatter.

A. HANDLING AND STORAGE:

The contractor shall furnish MSDS sheets and precautions when handling, proper disposal, and storage information.

B. PACKAGING:

Enhanced deicer shall be available in bulk form.

C. METHODS OF ANALYSIS:

Methods of analysis are taken from the ASTM designations D 632-99, and E 534- 98.

D. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF TREATED SALT

Component Units Typical Sodium Chloride Deicing Salt % 95.9 Pre-wetting Agent % 4.1

E. CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF PRE-WETTING AGENT

Component Units Typical Magnesium chloride % 29 Triethanolamine % 0.6 Coloring Agent % 0.25 Proprietary Performance Enhancing Additive % 0.4 pH 8.6

SIEVE ANALYSIS:

U.S.S. Opening Opening Mesh Inches Microns Specification

½” 0.500 12700 100

3/8” 0.375 9525 95 – 100

4” 0.187 4760 20 – 90

8” 0.0937 2380 10 – 60

30” 0.0232 590 0 – 15

Note: Sieve analysis is reported as percent passing. The dry salt utilized in this product complies fully with ASTM specification D632-99, Type 1, Grade 1. Sieve analysis of the final product differs from the ASTM dry salt specification due to the effect of the liquid pre-wetting agent on the sieve.

003. Liquid calcium chloride solution, available in 28% to 32% concentration. Liquid calcium chloride shall meet ASTM D 98 and AASHTO M144 requirements for calcium chloride purity. ASTM classification for LIQUIDOW calcium chloride is “Type L.”

A. APPLICATIONS

Liquid calcium chloride is primarily used for dust control of unpaved roads and parking lots, and pre-wetting rock salt deicers.

B. AVAILABILITY

Liquid calcium chloride shall be available in bulk tank trucks or 275 Gallon IBC tote

C. TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF COMMON CONCENTRATIONS

Calcium Chloride 28% 32% Potassium Chloride, (%) 0.75 0.86 Sodium Chloride, (%) 0.51 0.58 Other Impurities, (%) 0.11 0.12

D. SAFETY AND HANDLING

The contractor shall furnish MSDS sheets and precautions when handling, proper disposal, and storage information.

004. GEOMELT® 55 Liquid Organic Accelerator or approved equal is a natural agricultural product.

A. APPLICATIONS

GEOMELT® 55 is a highly effective salt or salt/sand stockpile treatment, pre-wet, anti-icing, deicing, salt stockpile preservation treatment, and bulk material freeze proofing.

B. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Appearance Brown

Dry Solids 55% Specific Gravity 1.275 Wt. / Gal 10.6 pounds/gallon Freeze Point -30 degrees Fahrenheit pH 6.0 – 9.0 Water Solubility Complete

C. SAFETY AND HANDLING

The contractor shall furnish MSDS sheets and precautions when handling and proper disposal information.

3. AWARD OF BID

To ensure a sufficient quantity of deicing salt during periods of heavy demand, the City reserves the right to award the contract to the two (2) lowest bidders. Orders would be placed with the lowest bidder first and, if the vendor is unable to deliver sufficient quantities as requested, the City may then order from the next low bidder until a sufficient quantity has been obtained to meet the City's needs.

4. DELIVERIES

The contractor certifies that all deliveries shall be made within three to five calendar days after contact has been made. Noncompliance with this clause may lead to rescission of the contract. The sodium chloride shall arrive at the delivery point in a free-flowing usable condition.

5. City reserves the right to reject all bids due to budget restrictions. It is the intent and purpose of the City that this Request for Bid provides fair and equal opportunity for each bidder to submit competitive bids. It is the bidders’ responsibility to furnish as many details as possible for consideration.

6. The City reserves the right to inspect the product before purchase.
