The scope of work includes cleaning, hot-pour rubberized asphalt crack sealing of approximately 3,900 linear feet, applying a single coat of asphalt emulsion sealcoat over approximately 26,000 square feet, and full restriping of all parking stalls, pedestrian crosswalks, directional arrows, and “NO PARKING” zones. The work must meet strict standards: crack sealing must adhere to ASTM D6690, pavement markings must comply with FHWA MUTCD 11th Edition and ADA 2010 Standards for Accessible Design, and waterborne acrylic paint meeting TT-P-1952 specifications must be used.

Contractors must ensure zero safety violations and zero environmental incidents, including preventing overspray, materials tracking, and runoff into surrounding habitats, and plugging or covering storm drains during application. A project-specific Quality Control plan must be maintained, documenting material specs, application rates, weather conditions, layout accuracy, and stripe tolerances. All work is subject to rigorous inspection and acceptance criteria, including verification of crack sealant adhesion and curing, sealcoat uniformity without ridges or puddling, and precise striping dimensions with no deviations from ADA-required stall sizes or MUTCD-aligned arrow and crosswalk specifications. Documentation such as daily logs, before-and-after photography, material batch tickets, and weather records must be regularly submitted and approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative.
