1.4. Bidders are encouraged to provide pricing for each type of material in each zone to which they are interested in supplying material even if no estimate of quantities are shown. Although current plans indicate no usage in these areas during this contract period, work plans are flexible and the need for materials in these areas may arise.
2. ITEM SPECIFICATIONS:
2.1. Asphaltic road materials shall be of grades and types conforming to the specifications attached and to
Section 703 of the State of Nevada, Department of Transportation "Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction", 2014 edition, and any revisions as attached hereto.
2.2. Tonnage specified hereinafter is an ESTIMATED usage only; therefore, the State of Nevada, Division of
Purchasing, SHALL NOT be obligated in any way whatsoever implied or otherwise to a definite quantity during the entire period of the contract. The State of Nevada reserves the right to increase or decrease the estimated amounts as necessary.
2.3. DISTRIBUTOR TRUCKS:

4. DEMERITS:
4.1. It is agreed by the parties to the contract that (a) in case the bituminous material does not conform to the requirements set forth in Section 703 of the Nevada Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, and modifications thereto contained in these special provisions, damage will be sustained by the State of Nevada, and that (b) it is extremely difficult to ascertain the actual damage which the State will sustain;
therefore, it is agreed that the contractor will pay to the State as liquidated damages or the State, as its option, may deduct from any money due or to become due to the contractor from the State, an amount as set forth in the demerits portion at the end of each specification section contained within the NDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, 2014 Edition.
5. SECTION 109-MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT:
5.1. 109.09 Emulsified Asphalt Escalation. The use of this price adjustment provision, as developed and implemented herein, is intended to minimize the cost effects of price uncertainty to the Contractor and the Department for “Emulsified Asphalt” used in the construction of the contract. The price adjustment provisions are not intended to serve as a guarantee for full compensation for “Emulsified Asphalt” price fluctuations but are intended to be a sharing, by the Department, in a portion of the Contractor’s risk which could result from potentially volatile price fluctuations that might occur throughout the duration of the contract.
5.2. The price adjustment provisions do not serve to relieve the Contractor of risks associated with fluctuation in prices beyond the amount adjusted by the provisions. This adjustment will be full compensation for any and all price fluctuations, including but not limited to taxes, transportation, and delays.
5.3. The price adjustment provisions are only applicable to “Emulsified Asphalt”; they are not applicable to asphalt cement. The term “Emulsified Asphalt” and "" as used herein is applicable to grades as specified in Subsection 703.03.04. The quantity of asphalt used in escalation calculations for emulsified asphalt is based upon the minimum percent residue (MR) as specified in Section 703 of the Nevada Department of Transportations' Standard Specifications along with any standard dilution factors for the particular type of emulsion bid and supplied by the Contractor.
6. MINIMUM RESIDUE (MR):
6.1. The minimum asphalt residue percentage, as determined by testing methods and listed as "Residue, % by mass" in Subsection 703.03.04. This percentage is the quantity of actual asphalt contained within the various emulsions.
6.2. The progress payment will be adjusted upward or downward, as calculated by the "Total Bi-Weekly
Adjustment." These adjustments will be determined by the Department and will be based on selling prices for asphalt cement in the Poten & Partners Asphalt Weekly Monitor report. The sources used by the Department to determine the asphalt cement price at any given time will be the selling prices for Utah/Idaho/Nevada for non-modified paving grades and the California paving grades. The average of the high and low selling price for each of the following areas will be used: Utah - Salt Lake City area; Idaho - Boise area, Eastern markets, Northern markets [includes E.WA]; Nevada - Las Vegas area, Reno area;
California - San Francisco area, Los Angeles area, Bakersfield area. Each of these nine average area prices is then used to calculate the weekly average price; the weekly average price is used to calculate the "Basic Emulsion Index." The adjustment will be made by comparing a "Basic Emulsion Index" to a "Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index." The method for making this comparison is described in the following paragraphs:
6.2.1. A “Basic Emulsion Index” will be determined by the Department on a weekly basis. The “Basic Emulsion
Index” in effect for the week a contract bid opening occurs will be the “Basic Emulsion Index” for that contract. The “Basic Emulsion Index” will be arrived at by averaging the Monday posting of the current week and the Monday posting of the three previous weeks. The “Basic Emulsion Index” price for "Liquid Asphalt Emulsion" will be available on an informational basis to interested parties but said prices will not be available prior to the first regular business day of the week of the bid opening. The price may be obtained by contacting the Construction Division in the Department’s General Headquarters, 1263 S.
Stewart Street, Carson City, Nevada 89712, phone (775) 888-7460.
6.2.2. During the time that the "Liquid Asphalt Emulsion" is used on this contract, the Department will maintain selling prices in $/English ton for asphalt cement to be used to obtain a "Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index." The “Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index” will be arrived at by averaging the Monday posting of the current week and the Monday posting of the three previous weeks and will be compared with the “Basic Emulsion Index” price to determine a “Bi-Weekly Emulsion Price Adjustment.”
6.2.3. The adjustment for said "Liquid Asphalt Emulsion" will be subject to increase or decrease in accordance with the following provision for "Liquid Asphalt Emulsion" price fluctuations exceeding 10%. The adjustment will be determined in accordance with the following formula for “Liquid Asphalt Emulsion” used during the progress payment:
Total Bi-Weekly Adjustment = A(RQ)
For an increase in the Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index exceeding 10% of the Basic Emulsion Index:
A = [Bp — Bi (1.10)]
For a decrease in the Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index exceeding 10% of the Basic Emulsion Index:
A = [Bi (0.90) — Bp]
Where: A=“Bi-Weekly Emulsion Price Adjustment” in dollars per ton of “Liquid Asphalt Emulsion” rounded to the neare
Bi=“Basic Emulsion Index” for the week in which the bid opening for the contract occurred (US $/ton). This is calculated as noted in paragraph (a) above.
Bp=“The Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index” (US $/ton) calculated for the progress payment period. This is calculat
RQ=Residue Quantity, in tons of actual asphalt contained in product, calculated from the amount of emulsified asphalt supplied by Contractor multiplied by the minimum residue percentage as specified along with any dilu
6.2.4. The adjustment in compensation will also be subject to the following:
A. The compensation adjustments provided herein, will be shown separately on the progress payment. The Contractor shall be liable to the State for decreased compensation adjustments and the Department may deduct the amount thereof from any monies due or that may become due the Contractor.
B. The Department reserves the right to cancel the contract whenever the “Bi-Weekly Emulsion
Adjustment Index” exceeds the “Basic Emulsion Index” by 75%. The contract may be canceled in part or in whole by the Department. If the Department elects to cancel the contract, in part or in whole, price adjustments will not be allowed for other than major bid items. Adjustments to major bid items will be in accordance with Subsection 104.02.
C. The progress payment period will be defined as 14 consecutive days starting on a Saturday and ending on a Friday. The beginning payment period starting date will be March 14, 2025.
D. For calculation purposes “The Bi-Weekly Emulsion Adjustment Index” from the 2nd week of the progress payment period will be used.
7. SAMPLES:
7.1. The material supplier is responsible for providing material samples for testing purposes. The sampling shall be observed by the Maintenance Supervisor, but the State of Nevada assumes no responsibility for material that does not comply with the specifications.
7.2. Under the procedure established herein, the State of Nevada will have no official interest in any additional samples that the contractor or supplier may desire to take and test nor in the refinery sample sometimes submitted by the supplier with each shipment. (This does not preclude the assessing of 100% reduction in payment of any load). Repeated deliveries not conforming to Nevada State Department of Transportation Specifications will be the cause for cancellation of contract. Contractor will be allowed a maximum of 20 days from date of a Transportation Test Laboratory Report to protest the same.
8. FIELD TESTING FOR ACCEPTANCE:
8.1. The Nevada Department of Transportation reserves the right to selectively test emulsified bituminous materials for Rotational Paddle Viscosity at the job site prior to application. All delivery trucks and trailers supplying emulsified bituminous materials to Nevada DOT projects shall be equipped with a sampling valve that provides a sample from the approximate mid-point of the load. Sample valves shall conform to AASHTO R66. Trucks and/or trailers not equipped with sampling valves will not be sampled and the material will be rejected (See Note 1). All samples are to be provided by the driver and the sampling process is to be observed by NDOT personnel. (It is imperative that samples be taken properly as any failed loads will be returned) NDOT will provide the sample bottles.
8.2. In the event that NDOT elects to field test for Rotational Paddle Viscosity, the specification limits contained herein shall be used as the basis for using or rejecting the material and the demerit schedule for Rotational Paddle Viscosity will not apply. If the material fails to meet specification limits, a second test will be run on the same sample. If the second test also fails, the material represented by that sample will be rejected and returned to the supplier. If for any reason the viscosity of a sample is unobtainable as per Nev. T762, the material represented by that sample will be rejected and returned to the supplier. No payment will be made for rejected material or for the shipping or handling thereof. A load will consist of a truck, a trailer or pup, each one being a single load. Two (2) consecutive days of material failing Rotational Paddle Viscosity Testing shall constitute breach of contract and the next available low bidder shall be awarded the remainder of the project. Onsite blending of any rejected material will not be permitted. Samples representing material that is accepted and used on the project will be forwarded to the NDOT Headquarters Laboratory for further testing (excluding Rotational Paddle Viscosity tests) and the regular demerit schedule will apply.
8.2.1. NDOT will allow exception to this requirement provided samples are obtained by the dip method according to Test Method No. Nev. T723.
9. TAXES:
9.1. Prices quoted shall be exclusive of all Federal Taxes. The State of Nevada is exempt from sales tax pursuant to NRS 372.325. The vendor may be liable for sales or use tax.
10. BREACH:
10.1. In the event of any breach of any clause of this agreement by either party hereto, the other party, at its option, may terminate this agreement forthwith; provided the waiver of any breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be waiver of the breach of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent or continuing breach of such provision or provisions.
11. ORDERING PROCEDURE:
11.1. Orders will be placed 24 hours in advance by E-mail and shipment SHALL BE made at the time specified.
In the event that the low bidder for a particular delivery zone is unable to supply within 24 hours of an order by the State, the State reserves the right to order from the next lowest bidder able to supply.
Obligation hereunder to supply asphalt is subject to acts of God, interruption of the normal operation of businesses or any hindrance beyond control. Notice by fax or by E-mail shall be given upon start of shipment. Asphalt temperatures will be prescribed temperatures for normal loading temperature, but not below minimum established application temperatures for different types of asphalts and emulsions as specified in Nevada State Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for these products.
12. ORDER CANCELLATION:
12.1. The State of Nevada reserves the right to cancel any order within twelve (12) hours prior to schedule of delivery.
12.2. State length of time required for pre-notice of cancellation: __________________________ hours (more than 12 hours may be cause for non-acceptance of bid).
12.3. If the State must cancel a load of product after arrival at the required jobsite, due to bad weather, equipment breakdown etc., the State will agree to pay one-way transport cost.
13. DELIVERY:
13.1. Deliveries are to be made at the time and place specified by the ordering party. For each late delivery not cleared beforehand, as required in the preceding paragraph, a reduction of $75.00 per each full one-quarter hour shall be made when seal coat operations are being supplied. A $25.00 reduction per each full one-quarter hour shall be made for late supply to all other maintenance operations being supplied.
13.2. To avoid excessive abuse of crew standby time, bidder is required to notify the maintenance manager or his authorized representative prior to the requested arrival time, if the vendor cannot meet the arrival time specified.
13.3. At no time shall payment be made to suppliers for that time incurred between arrival time and scheduled time.
13.4. It shall be the responsibility of the supplier’s driver to get verifying signature of the Department supervisor for any time in excess of free time as spelled out below.
13.5. The following free time shall be included in the Bid Price calculations. The Nevada Department of
Transportation will not directly reimburse vendors for activities that fall within the nominal time limits specified.
13.5.1. Free time shall be three (3) hours for each conveying vehicle. This includes one (1) hour for viscosity testing at the specified testing location (to start at the time of sampling) and two (2) hours pumping time at the project location (to start at arrival time at the job site). Travel time between the testing location and the project location is not included in three (3) hour free time. Any time after the three (3) hours shall be billed at the pump charge rate as bid on Page 9 of this Invitation to Bid.
13.5.2. Two (2) hours free time for unloading to Nevada Department of Transportation mixers or storage tanks.
Unloading time in excess of two (2) hours will be charged at normal pump charges. Vendor’s truck must be equipped with an asphalt pump to off load material into Nevada Department of Transportation mixers or storage tanks.
13.5.3. Four (4) hours free time for unloading conveyance vehicles carrying 30 tons or more. This includes one (1) hour for viscosity testing and three (3) hours pumping time. Time incurred after four (4) hours shall be billed at the pump charge rate as bid on page 9 of this invitation to bid.
14. FILTER SCREENS:
14.1. Filter screen box use during delivery is at the discretion of the maintenance supervisor accepting delivery.
Filter screen boxes used shall be BearCat Pumps, LLC Screen Box, as shown in schematic below, or manufactured equal. Screen mesh opening size shall be appropriate to oil being filtered. A minimum flow rate of 100 gallons of material per minute shall be maintained. If filter screen box is used with 0.450 mesh size and fouling of filter occurs, load may be rejected after 2 cleaning attempts and the minimum flow rate cannot be maintained, at the discretion of the maintenance supervisor, at no cost to Nevada Department of Transportation. If smaller mesh size is used it must be determined that fouling of filter is not due to striping of material from emulsion suspension. If fouling of smaller mesh is determined to be caused by stripping of material from emulsion suspension, filter use must be discontinued or a switch to the larger mesh size must take place with unloading time as applicable in 1, 2, and 3, as listed above. If emulsion is not being striped then conditions of this paragraph apply.
15. OVERNIGHT CHARGES:
15.1. NO overnight charges are due the vendor if CDL license requirements limit the drivers’ return to the plant.
The CDL restrictions should be reflected in the unit price for a ton of asphalt for those zones that are beyond the return times allowed by these time constraints.
15.2. Distributor overnight charges will be allowed ONLY when a distributor truck and driver are required to stay overnight between locations within a project or when CDL restrictions prevent movement between locations within a project.
16. SHORT LOAD CHARGES:
16.1. Short Load charges will be paid by the Department of Transportation on the difference in tonnage between that ordered for the project and 24 tons. Short Load charges will not be paid by the Department of Transportation when loads less than 24 tons are caused by the Vendors operational procedures. A maximum $500 will be paid for orders cancelled enroute by the Department.
