Polymer Modified Emulsified Asphalt (CRS2P) for Chip Seals

The contract solicitation MODOT CD 0000000052SL seeks the supply and performance of polymer-modified emulsified asphalt (CRS2P) and related asphalt emulsion products for chip seal applications in Osage and Gasconade Counties, Missouri. The work requires strict adherence to AASHTO and ASTM standards for material performance, including viscosity, penetration, distillation residue, sieve residue, demulsibility, and elastic recovery, with specifications governed by AASHTO M 81, M 82, M 140, M 208, and M 316, as well as testing protocols such as T 59, T 49, T 79, T 301, and D4124. Materials must remain stable and usable for at least 30 days and include a rejuvenator in polymer-modified formulations. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities are split between the contractor, who must conduct and pay for all required testing and dispose of nonconforming materials, and the Missouri Department of Transportation, which retains final authority to approve equipment, review calibration data, and verify compliance. The place of performance is limited to Missouri, specifically within the designated counties, but no delivery schedule, FOB terms, or invoice procedures are defined. Contractors must comply with several Missouri state-mandated certifications as conditions of award, including an Annual Worker Eligibility Verification Affidavit confirming enrollment in a federal work authorization system and prohibition of knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens under Section 285.530 RSMo, and an Affidavit of Lawful Presence for owners or partners under Section 208.009 RSMo. Additionally, an Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification (Exhibit M) is required, with different certification paths based on entity size and structure: Box A for non-companies, Box B for businesses with fewer than 10 employees, and Box C for entities with 10 or more employees; failure to update certification upon workforce growth triggers compliance obligations. The Buy American Preference Certification (Exhibit N) also applies, requiring disclosure of any foreign-sourced products. No federal contract clauses from FAR are referenced, and the solicitation does not include pricing details, CLINs, contract value estimates, payment instructions, or evaluation factors beyond these statutory compliance requirements. Responses are due by July 30, 2026, and submissions must be made through the Missouri DOT
