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

Livingston County is seeking sealed bids for Untreated Bulk Granular Sodium Chloride (crushed rock salt) for snow and ice control during the 2025-2026 winter season. The procurement is specifically for rock salt that meets ASTM-D-632 specifications for Type I, Grade I and NYSDOT requirements, with an anticaking agent. The total estimated quantity is 25,820 tons, to be distributed among various towns, villages, and county departments within the county. Bids must be submitted by July 16, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. to the Livingston County Government Center, with strict requirements for sealed envelope submission and clear marking of the bid. The contract period runs from September 1, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with an option for a single one-year renewal through August 31, 2027. Bidders are required to quote both a delivered price within county boundaries and an optional FOB plant price, with detailed specifications about the anticaking agent's application rate and potential ecological impact.

The procurement appears to be open to all vendors capable of meeting the specified requirements, with no explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. Municipalities are allowed to purchase between 70% and 150% of their estimated quantity, providing flexibility in ordering. The county reserves the right to award the entire contract to one vendor or split awards among multiple suppliers. Pricing must be all-inclusive, with no additional fuel surcharges, and minimum delivery quantities are specified (approximately 22 tons for delivered price, 10 tons for plant pickup). While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the total estimated quantity of 25,820 tons suggests a potentially significant contract value. Delivery will be made to multiple municipal stockpile sites, with bidders required to provide comprehensive delivery and pricing information to ensure compliance with the county's snow and ice control needs.
