materials, and equipment required to apply Liquid Dust Suppressant in the form of calcium chloride

approximately 57 kilometres of gravel roads that require the application of Liquid Dust Suppressant. 

The estimated volume of Liquid Dust Suppressant to be used under this Contract is 240,000 litres of 

solution; equivalent to 148,185 kg of pure calcium chloride solid (OPSS 2501 ‐ 1.357 kg per litre @ 455 

kg pure calcium chloride per 1,000 kg 35% solution).

5.7 Verify, Clarify, and Supplement 

a. The Township may, at any time, request written verification / clarification or the submission of supplementary written information from any Respondent or third party and incorporate any such information into the evaluation of the Respondent’s Bid. 

 

5.8 Evaluation 

a. The Township may assess a Respondent’s Bid on the basis of financial analysis determining the actual cost of the Bid when considering factors including quality, service, price and transition costs arising from the replacement of existing goods, services, practices, methodologies and infrastructure (howsoever originally established).
