City of Edgerton RFP-Rock Salt

The City of Edgerton, located in Wisconsin's Racine County, is seeking sealed bids for the procurement of rock salt for snow removal and ice control purposes. The solicitation calls for up to 350 tons of standard rock salt that is treated to prevent caking, with specifications requiring the salt to conform to ASTM D-632 for Type 1, Grade 1 material. The rock salt must have a minimum sodium chloride content of 95.0 percent and no more than 1.5 percent moisture, with only fresh stock being acceptable—reclaimed salt will not be considered. Deliveries will be made in 20-ton increments to 315 W High St, Edgerton, WI 53534 on an as-needed basis for the 2022-23 season, with bidders required to provide pricing per ton for the initial 350-ton supply and additional quantities beyond that initial amount. The bid submission deadline is set for 9:00 a.m. on Friday, September 9, 2022, with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud at the Edgerton City Hall located at 12 Albion St, Edgerton, WI 53534. All pricing must be quoted on an F.O.B. basis, and bidders must specify the number of days after receipt of order (A.R.O.) for delivery.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are mentioned in the solicitation documents. The City explicitly reserves the right to reject any or all bids and makes no guarantee of purchasing the full 350-ton quantity, emphasizing that this bid represents a supplemental supply to be ordered on an as-needed basis. Delivery requirements are stringent, with all deliveries mandating legible scale tickets documenting gross, tare, and net weights, and loads must be covered with tight, waterproof coverings during transport. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement is for rock salt to support the city's winter maintenance operations. Bidders will be evaluated based on their ability to meet the technical specifications, delivery capabilities, and pricing structures, with all deliveries requiring accompanying documentation and adherence to the specified salt quality standards. The solicitation suggests this is a competitive procurement process aimed at securing a reliable rock salt supplier for the city's winter maintenance needs.
