The exact amount of Brine Generator Salt purchased per year is dependent on weather, usage, approval, and funding for Iowa DOT. At this time, it should be understood there are no guaranteed minimum purchases, and actual purchases may vary, based on actual needs throughout the contract period. DOT has a contractual obligation to pay for brine generator salt ordered and delivered by weight that meets specifications. Moisture content and foreign material content above the max levels specified are not considered brine generator salt. DOT will conduct testing as needed to determine what weight percentage of a delivery is non-brine generator salt material. The results of the test will show the weight difference between brine generator salt weight quantity ordered and brine generator salt weight quantity received. DOT will adjust the payment to match the weight of brine generator salt delivered exclusive of any weight attributed to non-compliant moister and foreign material weight.
