2027 Latex Modified - Secondary, Bristol Dist.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is soliciting bids from qualified firms for the 2027 Latex Modified - Secondary project, a latex modified emulsion treatment and pavement marking program on various secondary routes in the Bristol District, with bids due November 18, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. The project carries no set-aside: the SWAM (Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned) participation requirement is 0.0 percent. Bids must be submitted electronically through Bidx.

Scope covers furnishing and placing Type C latex modified emulsion on existing secondary roadway surfaces in Smyth and Washington Counties, along with flagger services, eradication of existing linear and nonlinear pavement markings, and installation of temporary and permanent 4-inch pavement markings. Key bid items include approximately 14,693.68 tons of emulsion, 1,763 hours of flagger service, and roughly 268,670 linear feet of temporary and 285,470 linear feet of permanent marking. The contractor must place a Department-certified Slurry Surfacing Technician and a Pavement Marking Technician on site, complete lane closure coordination through VDOT's LCC and LCI system, and maintain informal partnering with VDOT field personnel. Work is subject to prevailing wage rates, and a bid bond at five percent of the bid value conforming to Section 102.07 is required.

Contract pricing is subject to asphalt material price adjustment tied to monthly average statewide prices for asphalt cement indices, and electronic weigh tickets are required for asphalt plant mixtures through the Department's electronic ticketing portal. Project completion is due October 17, 2027.
