INTRODUCTION
The City of Salem is seeking a bid for hot mix asphalt overlay. The City expects to need an estimated
amount of 796 tons to be delivered and installed as soon as possible and completed by June 30,
2026. In addition, an estimated amount of 2,413 tons would need to be delivered and installed after
July 1, 2026, but preferred before July 15, 2026. The City is open to alternate timeline proposals.

overall street infrastructure in the City of Salem.
