Surface Treatment Chips and Slurry Aggregate

Salt Lake City Corporation is seeking a contractor to provide surface treatment chip and slurry aggregate materials through a competitive bid process (RFB No. SLCI26017) for its Streets Division. The procurement requires 100 percent crushed stone, slag, or high-quality aggregate materials, specifically Type II slurry sand and Grade A chip seal, totaling approximately 2,500 tons annually. Materials must be clean, free from organic matter, and comply with the 2017 APWA manual of Standard Specifications, with detailed technical requirements including specific physical properties such as angularity, hardness, and particle characteristics. Bids must be submitted electronically through the Utah Public Procurement Place (Bonfire) website by October 2, 2025, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. Evaluation criteria include total cost, mandatory requirements compliance, and guaranteed pricing for one year, with potential price adjustments supported by market analysis documentation. The contract will have an initial five-year term, with materials to be delivered to the City's Delong Street stockpile location within five business days of order placement.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations mentioned in the procurement documents. Bidders must be registered with the Utah State Division of Corporations and Commercial Code and comply with the city's ethics clause prohibiting gifts or incentives to city employees. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the contract is non-exclusive, meaning Salt Lake City reserves the right to acquire similar services from other sources during the contract period. The cost sheet indicates that pricing should include all associated costs such as materials, supervision, labor, insurance, transportation, delivery, and fuel surcharges. The estimated annual procurement value is based on the 2,500 tons of aggregate materials, with pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Contractors will be required to perform compatibility testing and submit detailed test data prior to sealing operations, ensuring the materials meet the specified technical requirements and are suitable for road surface treatment applications.
