1.4 Note to Authorized Users

When placing purchase orders under the contract(s), the authorized user should be familiar with and follow the terms and conditions governing its use which usually appears at the end of this document. The authorized user is accountable and responsible for compliance with the requirements of public procurement processes. The authorized user must periodically sample the results of its procurements to determine its compliance. In sampling its procurements, an authorized user should test for reasonableness of results to ensure that such results can withstand public scrutiny.

The authorized user, when purchasing from OGS contracts, should hold the contractor accountable for contract compliance and meeting the contract terms, conditions, specifications, and other requirements.

Also, in recognition of market fluctuations over time, authorized users are encouraged to seek improved pricing whenever possible.

Authorized users have the responsibility to document purchases, particularly when using OGS multiple award contracts for the same or similar product(s)/service(s), which should include:

• a statement of need and associated requirements,

• a summary of the contract alternatives considered for the purchase,

• the reason(s) supporting the resulting purchase (e.g., show the basis for the selection among multiple contracts at the time of purchase was the most practical and economical alternative and was in the best interests of the State).

1.5 Scope

Below are descriptions of the various Liquid Bituminous Materials and treatments for the various projects:

Chip Seal pavement preventive maintenance treatments 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 Fillers/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.

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 Contracts provide an avenue for preventive maintenance materials and treatments 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.

1.6 Estimated Quantities

A Contract resulting from this Solicitation shall be an estimated quantity Contract. No specific quantities are represented or guaranteed and the State provides no guarantee of individual Authorized User participation.

The Contractor must furnish all quantities actually ordered at or below the Contract prices. The anticipated dollar value of the award for this Solicitation, based on historical purchases under previous awards, is approximately 22 million dollars annually. The individual value of each resultant Contract is indeterminate and will depend upon the number of Contracts issued and the competitiveness of the pricing offered.

Authorized Users will be encouraged to purchase from Contractors who offer the Products and pricing that best meet their needs in the most practical and economical manner. See Appendix B Estimated/Specific Quantity Contracts and Participation in Centralized Contracts.

Numerous factors could cause the actual quantities of Products purchased under a Contract resulting from this Solicitation to vary substantially from the estimates in the Solicitation. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Such Contracts may be non-exclusive Contracts.

• There is no guarantee of quantities to be purchased, nor is there any guarantee that demand will continue in any manner consistent with previous purchases.

• The individual value of each Contract is indeterminate and will depend upon actual Authorized User demand and actual quantities ordered during the contract period.

• The State reserves the right to terminate any Contract for cause or convenience prior to the end of the term pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contract.

• Contract pricing that is lower than anticipated could result in a higher quantity of purchases by

Authorized Users than anticipated.

• Contract pricing that is higher than anticipated could result in a lower quantity of purchases by

Authorized Users than anticipated.

By submitting a Bid, Bidder acknowledges the foregoing and agrees that actual good faith purchasing volumes during the term of the resulting Contracts could vary substantially from the estimates provided in this Solicitation.

A. Base Term. The Contract term shall commence after all necessary approvals and shall become effective on the date of OSC approval of the final executed contract documents, and the Contract term shall end on December 31, 2025.

B. Extensions. At the State’s option, the Contract may be extended for an additional period of two (2) years, in increments as deemed to be in the best interest of the State. Whether the optional extension is exercised is at the sole discretion of the State. A Contractor shall retain the right to decline a Contract extension offered under this section. Any Contract extension will be under the same terms and conditions, subject to the approval of OSC, and any additional applicable statutory and policy requirements.

6.2 Short Term Extension

This section shall apply in addition to any rights set forth in Appendix B Contract Term – Extension. In the event that OGS determines that a short term extension is in the best interest of the State, (e.g., a replacement Contract has not been issued, or an extended period is needed for Authorized Users to transition to another procurement method), any Contract let and awarded hereunder by the State may be extended unilaterally by the State for an additional period of up to 30 calendar days upon notice to the Contractor with the same terms and conditions as the original Contract and any previously approved modifications. With the concurrence of the Contractor, the extension may be for a period of up to 90 calendar days in lieu of 30 calendar days. However, unless otherwise noted in the extension notification or agreement, this extension automatically terminates should a replacement Contract be issued in the interim.
