High Performance Cold Patch Materials D-6

The New Mexico Department of Transportation is issuing a contract to secure a reliable source of High Performance Cold Patch Material for District Six, aiming to enhance highway and bridge maintenance and repairs. The contract specifies that cold patch materials must meet stringent NMDOT standards, including durability, pliability for up to a year even when stored outside, and compatibility for use on asphalt, concrete, and treated roads. The material composition mandates 100% crushed stone aggregates with dual fractured faces, mixed exclusively in a hot mix plant, and graded in accordance with ASTM requirements. Multiple viscosity mixes are required to accommodate various seasonal conditions, and the bituminous material must adhere to exacting standards for viscosity, flash point, ductility, and solubility. Packaging must be robust, eradicating ambiguity with clear English and Spanish labeling on 50-pound bags. Interested vendors must ensure prior approval of products via the NMDOT Product Evaluation Program and meet all insurance obligations, including liability and worker’s compensation coverage. Administrative requirements include submission of tax identification credentials. The initial contract term is one year, with the possibility of up to three annual extensions, not exceeding four years overall. Service delivery is focused within New Mexico's District Six, and the estimated contract value ranges from $500,000 to $1.5 million.
