DTRA TEAMS Roads Resurfacing

This action was awarded as and 8(a) Sole Source Set-Aside under the authority of section 8(a) of the Small Business Act.

The contractor shall furnish all parts, material, labor, equipment and supervision necessary to complete the work for DTRA TEAMS Roads Resurfacing.

The overall goal of this project is to provide bituminous surface treatments for sections of roadway surrounding the DTRA TEAMS SITE. The bituminous surface treatments proposed include the placement of single bituminous surface treatment (SBST) and double bituminous surface treatment (DBST). Chip seal or Double-Insulated Chip Seal (for multiple passes) are commonly used terms to describe the same process. These treatments are normally used to seal or waterproof the pavement, provide wear resistance, and increase skid resistance. All surface treatments are relatively thin coatings of material and do not add structurally to the pavement. The Contractor shall provide all required elements (material, equipment, labor, etc.) for this project. A single bituminous surface treatment (SBST) consists of an application of bituminous material on a prepared surface followed immediately by a single layer of cover aggregate. Double bituminous surface treatment (DBST) is similar to a SBST except those two applications of bitumen and cover aggregate are used. The first application of aggregate uses a coarser aggregate than the second application and usually determines the DBST thickness. The second application of aggregate partially fills the surface voids and keys into the aggregate in the first aggregate course. SBST's and DBST's are used on prepared base courses and on new or old pavements. The DBST's and more additional layers (third or more) are used to provide greater wearing resistance and some structural strength (minimal).

The Contractor is urged and expected to thoroughly inspect the site where construction is to be performed in order to satisfy all parties regarding, all general and local conditions that may affect the total construction and cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site and gather necessary information constitute grounds for a claim after contract award. The Contractor is responsible for completing all work in this scope and any that is reasonably inferred to complete this project such as, but not limited to; Site Prep, Materials, Mix Design, Construction, Site Clean-up and Warranty Info.
