QVCOG member communities are automatically entered into the SHACOG Purchasing Alliance. Participating communities are asked to complete the 2023 Estimated Requirements Survey for Fall Commodities by Friday, September 1, 2023.
Contingent upon survey responses, the following general categories comprise the list of items on which SHACOG anticipates receiving bids: • Anti-Skid Material • Bagged Ice and Snow Melt • Bagged Rock Salt • Calcium Chloride • Enhanced Deicer (Enhanced Deicing Salt Product) • Gasoline and Diesel Fuel • Grass Seed • Infield Conditioner - Soil Amendment • Liquid Calcium Chloride • Liquid Magnesium Chloride • Lubricants, which include: • Antifreeze • Diesel Oil • Gear Oil • Heavy Duty Grease • Hydraulic Oil • Motor Oil • Transmission Fluid • Universal Tractor Fluid • Windshield Washer Fluid • Pesticides, which include: • Fungicides • Herbicides • Insecticides • Plant Growth Regulators • Pre-Mixed Salt Brine • Snow Plow Blades and Cutting Edges • Solar Salt (for Brine Production) - Bags and Bulk Please be reminded that these are general categories. It is important to examine the various items within these categories to identify your community's needs. This list also changes each year due to lack of demand, no bids being received, and requests for new inclusions. As an aid for prior users, there is a two-year history of estimates previously submitted for each existing item. Many find this information to be of value in providing a current estimate. In addition, if a product your community uses does not appear in the list, you can note that item for inclusion in the bid. The survey is to be completed online and is available at the SHACOG Purchasing Alliance website at www.shacog.com. If you need assistance in accessing or completing the survey, call Sue Dawson (412-429-1130) at the SHACOG office. You only have to complete the surveys for the products in which you have an interest. There is no need to attempt to complete a survey for a commodity which your municipality does not use. |
