Road Salt and Sea Salt

The County of El Dorado is seeking a vendor to supply bulk road salt (wet coarse) and bulk sea salt for its Department of Transportation over a three‑year period. The contract is for approximately 200 tons per year of each material (total ~400 tons/yr) with delivery to the county’s maintenance yard and required hauling service from the vendor’s plant. Pricing must be freight‑prepaid (FOB destination) and the award will be based on the lowest combined material and hauling cost, using a $1.90/mi round‑trip rate. The vendor must hold a valid California seller’s permit, may claim a 5 % local‑vendor preference credit, and must meet quality specifications (≥ 95 % NaCl, moisture ≤ 5 %). • Materials: Road salt (wet coarse) and sea salt (clean) – bulk, 200 tons/yr each. • Delivery: To the El Dorado County DOT Maintenance Yard, with vendor‑provided hauling (average 24‑ton load, $1.90/mi). • Evaluation: Lowest total cost (material + hauling) after prompt‑payment discount considerations. • Contract length: 36 months, price‑firm for the entire period, with no guaranteed minimum purchase volume.
