Supply of Asphalt as Needed - Streets

The Jefferson Parish Government is soliciting bids for a two-year, as-needed contract to supply hot-mix bituminous asphalt for the Department of Public Works - Streets. The scope includes the provision of Level A Incidental Wearing (PG-64-22), Level 1 Binder (PG-64-22), and various grades of tack coat, including cutback asphalt (RC-70 or RE-250) and emulsified asphalt (SS-IH, SS-1, or CSS-1H). All materials must adhere to the 2006 Edition of the Louisiana Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges (Blue Book). The contract requires the vendor to provide stamped printer tickets for every truck load and ensures that asphalt is laid on-site within 45 minutes of delivery. While the Parish typically provides 24-hour notice for orders, the vendor must be capable of supplying materials on short notice during emergencies. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. To be considered responsive, bidders must submit a notarized bid affidavit including campaign contribution disclosures, criminal history certifications, and evidence of the signatory's authority to bind their legal entity. Responsibility is determined by legal compliance, including registration in a status verification system for new hires and certification regarding unpaid workers compensation insurance. Additionally, vendors must comply with insurance requirements set forth in Jefferson Parish Resolutions 136353 and 141125. The Parish maintains the right to cancel orders if delivery is not made within one hour of the agreed-upon time or by 7:00 am on the day of delivery.
