Description of Amendment:

a. This is to incorporate the following:

On behalf of the State of Oklahoma, the Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) provides notice of changes to Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3. Removed all references to barges and the Port of Catoosa. Additionally, added a fuel charge section to Exhibit 3. All questions and procurement/agency responses received during the Q&A period, which closed on 08/03/2026, are detailed below:

1. Q: Please confirm the trailer type required for delivery (End Dumps / Hopper Bottom Trailers).

A: In our experience, End Dumps work best. All trailers must be able to deliver and discharge into a stockpile in front of the barns.

2. Q: Would you please provide the current pricing for the Road Salt or where I can find the current pricing for the Road Salt?

A: Pricing can be found at this link.

3. Q: Are bidders for the Statewide Road Salt bid able to no-bid certain locations or is this an “all or nothing” bid package?

Specifically, the Port of Catoosa. If a bidder isn’t able to supply salt via barge to the Port of Catoosa, are they unable to bid the entire package?

A: This is not an all or nothing bid. Additionally, the Port of Catoosa and barges in general will be removed from this Statewide contract via amendment. As such, they are no longer relevant to this bidding process.

4. Q: Are hopper trucks allowed or is it only end-dump?

A: In our experience, End Dumps work best. All trailers must be able to deliver and discharge into a stockpile in front of the barns.

5. Q: Where is your fuel surcharge schedule? I see it noted in the pricing spreadsheet but I haven't located the details, base rate, etc.

A: The fuel surcharge schedule will be accessible in an amended Pricing Document.

6. Q: Exhibit 4 - Professional References Are you expecting suppliers to send your reference sheet to other states/companies to complete? As with the State of Oklahoma, most large bids are similar and go to the low bidder. States are not typically "hiring" a vendor, suppliers are bidding to win the opportunity. I understand wanting references but this is an unusual request. What is the purpose of this type of questionnaire vs a standard reference request?

A: The criteria we will use to evaluate include (1) Executive Summary, (2) Technical Response, and (3) Pricing Document. That being the case, references are appreciated but not required.

b. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
