City of Edgerton Request for Bids - Rock Salt

The City of Edgerton, located in Wisconsin, is soliciting sealed bids for the procurement of rock salt for snow removal and ice control during the 2020-21 season. The procurement seeks up to 350 tons of standard rock salt, which must be treated to prevent caking and conform to ASTM-D-632 specifications for Type 1, Grade 1 material with a minimum sodium chloride content of 95.0 percent and no more than 1.5 percent moisture. Bids were due by 9:00 a.m. on Friday, September 4, 2020, to be publicly opened and read aloud at Edgerton City Hall, located at 12 Albion Street. Bidders were required to submit proposals on city-provided bid forms in sealed envelopes marked "Salt Bids," with bid packets available through the city's website or by calling 608-884-3341. Delivery will be coordinated on an as-needed basis by telephone order with Howard Moser of the Public Works Department, with deliveries made in approximately 20-ton loads to 315 West High Street, Edgerton, Wisconsin.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Fresh stock is required, and reclaimed salt is prohibited. All deliveries must utilize tight, waterproof vehicle coverings and include legible delivery tickets documenting the trucking firm name, gross, tare, and net weights, and delivery date. Bidders were required to submit pricing on a per-ton basis, providing both an initial price for the first 350 tons and a separate price for additional deliveries, with prices quoted F.O.B. to the delivery location. While no specific budget range was mentioned, the city reserved the right to reject any and all bids and made no guarantee regarding the volume of salt to be purchased. Proposals could not be withdrawn for sixty days following the bid opening date, and the city maintained the flexibility to waive informalities in the bidding process.
