Bulk Road Salt, delivered

North Carolina State University is establishing a one-year blanket order contract for the purchase and delivery of bulk road salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to be used for de-icing roadways and sidewalks on campus. The contract is based on a non-guaranteed quantity model where the total tons purchased and dollar amounts will depend entirely on inclement weather conditions. The successful contractor must deliver the product in full truck loads within two business days of a request, with deliveries occurring between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the university's Horticulture Road location in Raleigh, NC. All products must meet the ASTM specification for Course Graded Rock Salt, and the contractor is required to provide a current GHS data sheet and ASTM specification sheet, as well as report minimum chlorides, maximum moisture content, and average gradation at the time of delivery. The university will award the contract to the lowest and best bid most advantageous to the institution, reserving the right to make partial or multiple awards. Bidders must submit a completed solicitation document and a Certificate of Insurance via the Bonfire Public Portal. The contract is FOBD, meaning all delivery charges and miscellaneous fees must be included in the cost per ton, as the university will not pay separate freight costs or fuel surcharges. Additionally, the university is tax-exempt, and the contractor must certify that they are not currently debarred or suspended by any federal agency.
