ITB 6890 TIRE RECAPPING CONTRACT

Bidder's Instructions/Specifications

1. CONTRACT PERlOD

1 .1 This contract is for a three (3 ) year period subject to annual renewals provided all terms,

conditions and prices remain unchanged and the vendor is in agreement. Costs shall remain

firm for the contract period. The City reserves the right to re- bid at the end of any one year

period or to extend the contract for additional years.

2. BID AWARD

2. l Bids will be awarded on a total basis to the one company who submits the most responsive

bid with the lowest unit prices on the largest majority of the tire sizes recapped based on

past history. Tires are listed on price sheet in descending order of usage in the past twelve

(12) months. Approximate number of tires recapped in the past twelve (12) months is listed

for each size tire along with the acceptable tread design.

2.2 The City reserves the right to choose the bid that will be in the City's best interest. Tread

depth compliance and vendor past performance will also be a consideration.

2.3 Should one vendor be unable to supply all the sizes required, the City shall choose another

source for those items.

3 . DELIVERY AND PICK-UP

3 .1 Tire casings to be recapped shall be picked up at City Garage each Tuesday and these new

recapped tires are to be delivered the following Tuesday. Turn around time to recap tires

will be considered in Bid award.

3 .2 This service shall be provided at no additional charge.

4 WARRANTY

4.1 All retreaded tires shall be guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for the

tread life of the tire.

4.2 Tread life shall mean the period of wear between the original tread depth and when the

remaining tread design depth measures 2/32-inch. Tread depth shall be determined by

measurements taken at six points within each tire groove and spaced around the

circumference of the tire and the results averaged.

4.3 If a tire is found to be defective in material or workmanship, such tire shall be retread again

at the contract schedule cost, prorated on the remaining tread depth in excess of2-32 inch.

Should a defective condition develop in the tire body or carcass which prevents retreading

again, an allowance based on the schedule contract cost prorated on the remaining tread

depth in excess of2-32 inch, shall be given to the City. The allowance shall be in the form

of a credit toward future orders for retreading service during the contract period.

4.4 The term contract schedule cost as used herein shall mean the net cost available to the City

of Johnson City at the time of warranty adjustment whether or not the vendor holds the

current contract at the time.

4.5 Adjustments and allowances under this warranty clause will be based on the tread depth of

the mold used for retreading, minus 2/32 inch (base figure). Adjustments will be calculated

by subtracting from this base figure the measured tread depth loss and determining the ratio

of this resultant figure to the base figure. This ratio, reduced to a percentage, shall be

applied to the cost of the retreading service of the tire and the resultant amount will be the

appropriate adjustment allowance.

Example: Original tread depth (14/32") minus (2/32") equal base figure (12/32") minus

tread loss (6/32") equal remaining tread depth (6/32") or 50% of the base figure. Cost of

retreading service ($14.00) minus 50% equals appropriate allowance ($7.00).

5. CAP IDENTIFICATION

All retreads shall be identified by the vendor's DOT number.

6. RE-TREAD PROCESS

Tires must be re-tread using the following pre-approved processes: Michelin Pre-Mold

6.1

Process, Marangoni Ringtread Process, Bandag Process, Goodyear Precure & Mold

Cure Processes or pre-approved equal.

6.2 Alternate process pre-approval is required. If offering a process other than those listed

above contact Chris Whitaker no later than 5 days prior to bid opening date to arrange for

evaluation and consideration. Vendor will be required to provide samples, test data and

specifications. All bidders will be notified of any additional approved processes.

6.3 The City reserves the right to secure random material samples and submit to recognized

laboratories for specification compliance.

6.4 Failure to meet material specifications could result in suppliers loss of contract.

6.5 All tire casings to be repaired a maximum of: two bead repairs; two pin holes in side wall

repairs; and four tread surface repairs, unless requested otherwise by City tire technicans.

7. REJECTED TIRES

All tires rejected as being unsuitable for recapping will remain the property of the City and

must be returned to the Fleet Management for disposal.
