If a bidder chooses to ship by barge as soon as possible after constructive placement, each barge will be unloaded and the salt hauled by an established hauling contractor, in a continuous operation, to local stock piles.

Payment shall be only on the basis of bonded scale weights of the unloading facility when salt is unloaded and hauled directly to final destinations. Price quoted is to be F.O.B. your barge at the St. Louis location. Scale tickets will be mailed to the supplier, for billing purposes, within 3 days of salt unloading. Partial payments will be made at the conclusion of each delivery. Salt to be furnished shall be sodium chloride in accordance with ASTM designation: D 632-72. Salt shall be Type 1 Grade 1 including appropriate anti-caking treatment to minimize caking in outside storage locations. All salt furnished shall be uncontaminated, clear of lumps and free flowing. If Bidder chooses that product will be picked up, the hauling portion will be an exclusive contract for administration (which includes dispatching, coordinating delivery and billing), unloading barges, trains, or other modes of transportation and hauling salt during the period of the Fall of 2025 through the Winter of 2026 to various locations for pick-up will be identified by the Bidder within the bid. The successful bidder shall provide to the City of O’Fallon, MO two (2) copies of weight tickets, showing all salt delivered to each participant, which shall be the basis for invoicing the salt delivered within 72 hours of delivery. Facsimile copies are acceptable prior to receipt of actual tickets. At the conclusion of each hauling operation, a listing of salt weights delivered to each participant will be used for the successful bidder to bill each participant for the unloading and hauling services. Bidders shall submit a combined bid to include unloading off of the barge, train, or other modes of transportation.
