Salient characteristics:
1. Road salt to be free of sand, stone, fillers, or debris. Upon inspection, if road salt is found to be contaminated with any kind of debris, the shipment/delivery will be halted.
2. Facility requests that a minimum of 60 cubic yards be secured for purchase this winter season. The facility may or may not need that amount depending on the weather, however the facility requires a guaranteed supply of 60 cubic yards. This amount may be reduced at the end of the season.
3. The facility requests that vendor be in a close radius to the William S Middleton VAMC in Madison, WI. Past practice has been for the facility to pick-up a spreader truck fill load when road salt is required. Pick-up site must be readily available for salt pick-up. If not possible, it is requested that vendor fill the spreader truck at the facility, one load at a time. VAMC Madison has absolutely no storage capability. Vendor must be able to store salt at his facility, at no charge.
4. If delivered, weight tickets must be provided upon delivery. Loads of salt will not be accepted unless a delivery ticket is provided upon arrival.
5. Delivery requires use of a truck capable of loading a spreader truck.
6. The government reserves the right to change the amount of salt delivered.
7. The contractor is responsible for immediately cleaning up any spills, debris, etc., which may occur during delivery.
