Specifications include, but are not limited to: It is the intent of this specification to describe a mixture of Sodium Chloride Type “A” crushed rock salt untreated and treated with corrosion inhibited liquid magnesium chloride product. The treatment is intended to enhance the performance of the product over untreated salt by reducing corrosiveness, improving low temperature performance, reducing bounce and scatter, preventing clumping, salt pile freezing and enhancing flow ability. The treated salt is intended to be used to facilitate snow and ice prevention and removal on City of Bloomington Indiana streets. The City of Bloomington normally orders between 300 and 1,000 tons at a time. The enhanced salt must be delivered within 48 hours of placement of order. Weekends and holidays will not be counted in the 48 hour time period. Deliveries are accepted Monday through Thursday between 7:00 a.m. local time, and 4:00 p.m. local time. All material must be unloaded in the salt dome at 1981 S. Henderson Street. Failure to unload all the enhanced salt from the trucks into the storage building will result in a deduction, as liquidated damages from the price bid for salt delivered and loaded.
