Salient Characteristics:

Hot Mix Asphalt Supply (½” 58-28 30% RAP 5.10 AC or similar AIMMS-2)

Specifications:

This is a supply requirement for Hot Mix Asphalt Supply (½” 58-28 30% RAP 5.10 AC or similar AIMMS-2) to be used in Grand Teton National Park during the summer of 2022 for repaving within the park boundaries.

The Contractor shall provide all equipment, operating supplies, operators, supervision, and support functions necessary in order to furnish the Hot Mix Asphalt to the Government. NPS trucks and personnel and/or contract trucks will complete the pickup and transportation to the site. The Contractor will load trucks.

Vendor is to supply hot asphalt to Grand Teton National Park within 25 miles of the Park’s boundary. The distance limitation is necessary to assure that the asphalt reaches the job site while maintaining a minimum working temperature of 250 degrees. This is necessary so that the material stays pliable and can flow through the paving machine.

Period of Performance:

The period of performance is from July 11, 2022 through September 30, 2022.

Scheduling:

The Hot Mix Asphalt shall be readily available for pick-up during the period of performance, between 07/11/2022 through 09/30/2022, Monday through Friday, from 7:00am to 5:30 pm: approximate quantities will range between 6 yards and 300 yards per scheduled pick-up. Park point of contact identified at contract award will contact Contractor two weeks in advance to confirm schedule.

Note: The pick-up quantity variation is due in part to uncertainty in weather conditions and availability of equipment (e.g., a change in weather conditions may only allow work for ½ day and/or equipment failures/availability may result in fewer yards of asphalt being transported in a day).

The Government will provide a minimum of 24 hours’ notice prior to pick-up. Should the Government give less than 24 hours’ notice, the Contractor may elect either to load the trucks as requested or to schedule an alternate day. Pick-up days will be scheduled when conditions are favorable and are weather dependent.
