2025-2026 PRE-TREATED Bulk Granular Sodium Chloride (Snow & Ice Control) )

Livingston County is seeking sealed bids for Pre-treated Bulk Granular Sodium Chloride (crushed rock salt) for snow and ice control during the 2025-2026 winter season. The procurement is specifically for treated rock salt that meets NYSDOT specifications, requiring eight gallons per ton of an environmentally friendly deicing liquid blend containing organic-based performance enhancers and Magnesium Chloride. The solicitation covers a contract period from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with an option for a one-year renewal through August 31, 2027. Bidders must submit sealed bids to the Livingston County Administrator's Office by 9:00 a.m. on July 16, 2025, with a minimum delivery requirement of 22 tons for delivered pricing and 10 tons for plant pickup. The rock salt must include an anticaking agent, be delivered in a free-flowing, dry condition, and municipalities and county agencies can purchase up to 150% of their estimated quantities, though they are guaranteed to purchase only 70% of their named quantity.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must provide detailed information about the anticaking agent used and comply with various state and local regulations, including insurance requirements and non-collusion certification. The county reserves the right to reject bids based on potential ecological harm, indicating a stringent evaluation process. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the document, the procurement allows for both delivered pricing within Livingston County and F.O.B. plant pickup options. The solicitation appears open to multiple vendors who can meet the technical specifications, with a focus on environmental considerations and performance of the deicing product. The comprehensive bid document suggests a competitive procurement process designed to secure high-quality snow and ice control materials for county and municipal use.
