minimum requirements outlined in this solicitation. In the event the lowest cost Vendor cannot supply material

when needed, the City will go to the next lowest cost Vendor on an as needed basis.

SCOPE OF WORK

Annual expenditure of Road Materials is estimated to be $100,000. This figure is given strictly as an estimate for potential

Vendors and for solicitation purposes only. A wide variance of actual expenditures can be expected due to “as necessary” or

“emergency” procurements. Therefore, no guarantee is given or implied as to the total quantity or dollar value of this

solicitation. The City is not obligated to place any order with vendors responding to this solicitation. Award will only guarantee

a specific source of supply for the City and will not guarantee or obligate total dollar expenditure.

The City recognizes that any one responder may not provide all product lines. All products (catalog or non-catalog drop-

shipped) provided by the Vendor shall be included in your response to this solicitation. All products, supplies and accessories

carried in a respondent’s catalog, price book(s) or otherwise available by special order are part of this solicitation.

The City reserves the right to request and receive, at no additional cost, up to one (1) time per year during the contract period,

a usage report detailing the products and/or services furnished to date under a contract resulting from this solicitation. The

reports must be furnished no later than seven (7) working days after receiving the written request and must include the City

department that ordered the product, description of each item purchased, including manufacturer, quantity of each item

purchased, shelf price, discount amount and extended price of each item purchased.

SOLICITATION FORMAT

Each solicitation must be submitted with the original documents, and all prices must be indicated on the price chart included

with this solicitation. All blank spaces for prices must be filled in, in ink or typewritten and must be fully completed and executed

when submitted. If the unit price and the total amount named for an item are not in agreement, the unit price alone will be

considered as representing the responder's intention and the total will be corrected to conform thereto.

PROPERTIES AND TESTING METHODS FOR AGGREGATE OR FILLER MATERIALS

• Gradation- The fine aggregate or filler particles must be finely graded to prevent a harsh mix (a stiff, low flow mix

usually resulting from a preponderance of granular material) and have sufficient range of finer size particles to

provide flowability, stability, and minimal void spaces in the flowable fill mix.

• Unit Weight- The fine aggregate or filler materials should be within a relatively low to moderate range of unit weight

in order to encourage flowability and discourage segregation of particles in the resultant flowable fill mix.

FLOWABLE FILL MIXTURES

Flowable fill refers to a cementitious slurry consisting of a mixture of fine aggregate or filler (usually sand), water, and

cementitious materials (usually Portland cement), which is used primarily as a backfill in lieu of compacted earth. This

mixture shall be capable of filling all voids in irregular excavations and hard to reach places. Flowable fill shall possess the

characteristic of a high-quality compacted earth backfill after hardening and shall have the necessary Strength development,

flowability, hardening time, bleeding and shrinkage, unit weight, bearing strength, and corrosion resistance as the application

requires.
