About this file
This Invitation to Bid (ITB) document solicits sealed bids from the Town of Wethersfield, Connecticut for road salt and treated road salt for the 2026-2027 winter season. The Town seeks vendors to supply untreated sodium chloride road salt and treated road salt comprising sodium chloride mixed with liquid magnesium chloride or liquid calcium chloride combined with an organic-based performance enhancer (LMC/LCC/OBPE). The estimated annual purchase is approximately 3,000 tons total, consisting of 1,000 tons of untreated road salt and 2,000 tons of treated road salt, though actual quantities depend on weather conditions and budgetary limitations. The Town maintains 1,200 tons of storage capacity. Bids are due October 16, 2026 at 12:00 p.m., with vendor questions accepted through October 9, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. The contract runs through June 30, 2027 with no renewal options.
Pricing shall be delivered on a per-ton basis with Free On Board Destination delivery terms, and all pricing must remain firm from October 16, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Routine delivery must occur within 72 hours, available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., while emergency delivery must be completed within 24 hours; failure to meet delivery timelines results in a 1% per-ton discount for each day late. Treated road salt must meet minimum specifications including 13.0% MgCl2 by weight and a freezing point of -20°F or lower. The Town is not obligated to purchase any minimum quantity. A local bidder preference applies, allowing town-based businesses to match the lowest responsible bid if their proposal falls within 10% of that price. Bidders must submit two hard copies and one electronic copy, along with proof of insurance, written certification from their salt supplier confirming adequate supply access, non-collusion affidavits, environmental compliance certifications, and fair employment practices questionnaires. Contact for inquiries is Julie Gerace at purchasing@wethersfieldct.gov or 860-721-2861.
