This is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) schedule and supporting documentation from the County of Solano, California, Department of Resource Management, Public Works Division, for the procurement of asphalt emulsion oil to support the County's chip seal program. The County is soliciting bids for approximately 650 tons of Polymer-Modified Rejuvenating Emulsions (PMRE), with acceptable polymers including latex, neoprene, butadiene, or styrene copolymer that meet specified parameters. The chip seal project schedule spans from August 17 through September 9, 2026, covering multiple roads across Solano County including Lake Herman Road, Goodyear Road, Ramsey Road, McCrory Road, and numerous other local roads. Daily oil requirements range from 29.8 to 89.8 tons distributed across the scheduled work dates. The file includes detailed logistics planning, including a roster of required personnel and equipment (dump trucks, rollers, sweepers, water trucks, flaggers, and loaders), transport schedules from August 26 through September 24, 2019, and comprehensive sweeping and striping schedules with specific daily assignments for multiple brooms and paint crews.

Bidders are required to quote a price per ton for asphalt emulsion oil delivered FOB to various locations within Solano County, with the bid price including the cost to spread the emulsion to the road surface. The tonnage amount of 650 tons represents the County's best estimate; however, the actual quantity required may be greater or less than this estimate. The project includes striping and button installation on approximately 26.64 miles of roads, with detailed striping schedules and specific route designations provided. Solano County project number 432 is associated with this work, and traffic control plans specify a 25 miles per hour speed limit with double lights on barricades for loose gravel areas.
