INVITATION FOR BIDS – MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE
Madison County previously published an Invitation for Bids for the supply and application of magnesium chloride. Please note the following corrections and clarifications:
- The estimated quantity has been revised from 600 tons to 2,000 tons, more or less, depending on road conditions and budget availability.
- Bidders may submit proposals for specific geographic areas of the county (e.g., individual road districts) rather than the entire total quantity.
- If the awarded contractor is unable to supply and apply the full amount of magnesium chloride as required, the County reserves the right to engage the next lowest responsible bidder to fulfill the remaining quantity.
All other bid terms, deadlines, and submission requirements remain unchanged. Updated bid specifications and forms are available at the Madison County Commissioners Office, and may be requested by calling (406)843-4277 or emailing
