Specifications include, but are not limited to: Approximately 180,000 gallons of liquid de-icing chemicals for Dallas County and the cities of Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee, Windsor Heights and Johnston. The agencies are estimating they each will use approximately 20,000, 60,000, 40,000, 25,000, 5,000 and 25,000 gallons, respectively. There will be an opportunity for bidders to enter pricing for tanker load and less than tanker load (LTL) quantities. Bidders are not required to enter LTL quantities pricing, however some agencies may not have the capacity to unload full tanker loads of deicer products. The agencies understand that shipping in LTL quantities may increase the cost of shipping and want to secure bids based on both shipping methods.
