RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with VSS Emultech, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000 for Polymer Modified Cationic Rapid Set and Polymer Modified Asphalt Rejuvenator Emulsion for the Road Surface Treatment Program, for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2024, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road Funds

BACKGROUND:

The placement of chip seal to resurface County roads is a long-established preventative maintenance practice. A chip seal increases the asphalt pavement life by an extra 7 to 10 years before another surface treatment is needed. This purchase order is to supply asphaltic emulsion spread for the Road Surface Treatment Program. As bid on BidSync No. 1906-354, VSS Emultech has been awarded this commodity for a one-year term with four possible one-year extensions.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this request is not approved, Polymer Modified Cationic Rapid Set and Polymer Modified Asphalt Rejuvenator Emulsion will not be procured through VSS Emultech.
