Scope of Work
Overall Specifications:
• To qualify as a bidder, each vendor must have their plant and mix design listed in Bulletin 41.
Any materials that do not pass inspection and/or do not meet the requirements in the mix
design shall be rejected and removed at the awarded bidder’s expense. The Department will not
pay for materials that do not meet minimum requirements.
• Testing and development of mix designs will be the responsibility of the vendor and subject to
review and approval by the PennDOT District Material Engineer.
• The material will be delivered by the vendor to the locations noted above (excepting the FOB
pickup lines), but the asphalt will be placed by Department forces.
Specific Specifications:
• All PG64-22 products must be 64S unless otherwise specified.
• The awarded vendor is to provide a Warm Mix Asphalt as approved by the District Materials
Engineer.
• PennDOT must receive a minimum of 450 tons per day with an expectation of 125 tons per hour
delivery unless otherwise noted on the above chart (Location of Work section above). If the
awarded vendor is not capable of meeting these quantities while performing under this
agreement, their contract may be terminated, and a Performance Issue entry will be made in the
Commonwealth Responsibility Program System (CRPS) which could preclude the vendor from
receiving future PennDOT awards.
• In an attempt to encourage and promote the use of high percentage recycled asphalt
material in a cost-saving effort to the public, it is understood that the Department will be
milling bituminous patches and will deliver the clean bituminous milling (suitable to be used
for RAP) to the contractor’s stockpile within a range of 25 highway miles on State-owned
roads of the town of Brush Valley in Indiana County (the 25 mile traveling distance is due to
the County’s time and truck limitations).
• The amount of millings that are to be returned to the vendor will be equal to the amount of
millings used in the provided material (ie 10,000 tons X 30% RAP= 3000 tons returned).
Millings that are contaminated with aggregates or dirt will be retained by Indiana County
PennDOT and will be used for other operations and would be the property of the
Department.
