IFB 160924 Attachment G- Red Ozone Days.pdf

This is an attachment document from the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) that outlines environmental operational constraints for crack sealing services in the Charlottesville Residency, which encompasses Albemarle, Greene, and Madison Counties. The document, identified as Attachment G – Red Ozone Days for IFB 160924, establishes restrictions on crack sealing operations during air-quality ozone advisories and red ozone day declarations in the region. Bidders responding to this solicitation for on-call crack sealing services to primary and secondary roadways must acknowledge these environmental constraints and demonstrate their ability to adjust work schedules and methods to maintain compliance with Virginia air quality requirements. The restrictions affect project scheduling, resource allocation, and overall contract performance timelines, requiring contractors to be prepared to suspend or modify operations when air quality conditions warrant such actions.

The attachment functions as a critical compliance document that bidders must incorporate into their proposal planning and cost estimations. Contractors must understand that work stoppages or schedule modifications during red ozone days will be mandatory and must account for these potential disruptions in their operational planning and resource management strategies. This environmental constraint is a non-negotiable requirement of the contract and directly impacts the feasibility and profitability of crack sealing operations throughout the specified three-county service area during periods of elevated ozone levels.
