This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Albany, New York. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

CONTRACT PERIOD: Upon OSC Approval to December 31, 2024 Scope The Solicitation is for various Liquid Bituminous Materials to be bid on for specific DOT projects, on a per project basis, as outlined in Attachment 1 - Pricing. Below are descriptions of the various treatments to be bid on for the various projects: Chip Seal & Hot Oil Chip Seal are pavement preventive maintenance treatments which consist of single-sized stone embedded in a liquid bituminous material. The liquid bituminous material seals cracks in the existing pavement and the stone provides a high friction wearing surface. Cold Recycling of bituminous concrete pavements is a corrective maintenance technique. The existing pavement is milled off for a depth of 3 to 4 inches (75mm to 100mm) a liquid bituminous material is added to the millings and the resulting mixture is placed and compacted on the milled surface. A new bituminous concrete sealing layer is added later. Existing cracks are eliminated, and the resulting pavement should last for many years. Heater Scarification is a continuous multi-step process in which the existing hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement surface is recycled using specialized equipment. The HMA pavement surface is heated causing the asphalt to soften. The softened asphalt surface is then immediately scarified and milled to a specified depth. The reclaimed asphalt pavement is then mixed with a recycling agent that rejuvenates the asphalt. The recycled mix is then placed and compacted back onto the roadway. A new bituminous concrete sealing layer is added later. Existing cracks are eliminated, and the resulting pavement should provide a longer life. Joint and Crack Filler/Sealers are hot-poured liquid bituminous materials (rubberized asphalt; asphalt cement and polyester fibers; asphalt filler) used to fill and/or seal cracks in the surface of highway pavements. Some products incorporate recycled materials with up to 18% recycled content and up to 18% post-consumer content. Micro-surfacing is a pavement preventive maintenance treatment which offers minor improvements to rideability and has excellent friction characteristics. Conventional and Rubber Modified Paver Placed Surface Treatment is a preventive maintenance treatment used to preserve highway pavements. The treatment is a surface paving system, placed by a self-priming paver, where a modified emulsion tack coat is placed directly before the application of a conventional or rubber modified hot mix asphalt wearing course. This Solicitation and ensuing contract provide an avenue for preventive maintenance activities which ensure that highways and bridges meet or exceed their optimum useful life. Note: All scope changes are subject to the approval of the New York State Office of the State Comptroller as required by law.
