2025-2026 rock salt bids

The City of Edgerton, located in Racine County, Wisconsin, is soliciting sealed bids for a rock salt procurement for the 2025-2026 snow removal and ice control season. The procurement seeks up to 350 tons of standard rock salt, which must be treated to prevent caking and meet specific quality requirements including ASTM-D-632 Type 1, Grade 1 standards. Key specifications mandate that the salt contain a minimum of 95.0% sodium chloride, have no more than 1.5 percent moisture, and be free of lumps and foreign matter. Bids will be accepted until 2:00 pm on Thursday, October 16, 2025, with a public bid opening scheduled at Edgerton City Hall, located at 12 Albion St, Edgerton, WI 53534. Delivery specifications require 20-ton (+/-) loads to be delivered to 315 W High St, Edgerton, with each delivery requiring a legible ticket documenting trucking firm, gross/tare/net weights, and delivery date. Vendors must submit pricing per ton for the initial 350-ton order and subsequent tons, along with delivery timeframe and company contact information.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidding organizations were mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract appears to be a supplemental supply agreement, with the City ordering salt on an "as-needed" basis throughout the 2025-2026 winter season. Vendors will be required to provide delivery vehicles with tight, waterproof coverings and coordinate deliveries through Zach Nelson in the Public Works Department, who can be reached at (608) 290-8590. While a specific budget range was not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured to allow flexibility in ordering up to 350 tons of rock salt, with potential for additional purchases beyond the initial quantity. The bid form will serve as the primary mechanism for evaluating vendor pricing, delivery capabilities, and responsiveness to the specified technical requirements. Interested vendors should carefully review the full bid specifications to ensure compliance with the City of Edgerton's rock salt procurement standards.
