NIGP 74570: Road Oil

NIGP 74570 Road Oil, an Item code, covers asphalt emulsions, dust control products, and specialized road treatment materials that state and local governments procure to maintain and treat roadway surfaces across multiple precinct and facility locations. Recent solicitations show counties and municipalities buying road oil on a unit-price basis for distribution to maintenance depots, typically in quantities ranging from hundreds to thousands of tons annually, with delivery and application specifications tied to state transportation department standards. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county road departments (Fannin County, Texas; Barrow County, Georgia), municipal public works agencies (City of South Fulton, Georgia), county transportation authorities (Santa Clara County, California), and school districts (Citrus County, Florida). The work encompasses both commodity procurement—sealed bids for bulk road oil and asphalt emulsions delivered to precinct barns—and labor-inclusive resurfacing and pavement rehabilitation contracts that incorporate road oil application as part of broader asphalt work scopes.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, California, and Georgia. Fannin County, Texas issued RFB #2026-002 on May 14, 2026 for emulsions and road oils with separate pricing for F.O.B. pit, F.O.B. barn, and designated locations plus ancillary fees (partial load, demurrage, unloading, pumping), requiring one-day delivery to four precinct locations. City of South Fulton, Georgia solicited ITB No. 26-13R (due April 16, 2026) for resurfacing of High Occupancy Corridors and Tier III Projects spanning over 29 miles with 57,513 tons of Superpave asphalt in three gradations, over 43,000 gallons of tack coat, and thermoplastic markings, with compensation based on unit prices and monthly asphalt binder adjustments through the Georgia Department of Transportation Asphalt Cement Price Index. Barrow County, Georgia procured resurfacing of Wynn Lake Road (bid due March 18, 2026) comprising approximately 5,230 tons of recycled asphaltic concrete and crack relief interlayer material. Santa Clara County, California issued multiple pavement rehabilitation ITBs in early 2026, including the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project (due May 21, 2026) requiring partial depth recycling, hot mix asphalt overlay, and comprehensive traffic and drainage improvements along a multi-mile corridor. Brevard County, Florida solicited pavement maintenance services (Bid B-2-26-08) budgeting approximately $900,000 for preventive treatments including chip seal, fog seal, micro-surfacing, and in-place recycling across 1,150 miles of county roads, with contract term of five years.
