d) the extent to which the goods or services meet the CITY’S needs;
e) the CONTRACTOR’S past relationship with the CITY;

Interested parties should submit one (1) sealed bid to:

Johnson City, Texas 78636

Mandatory Pre-Bid Sign-in Sheet


Questions and Answers:

1.  TxDOT Item No. 100 – Preparing Right of Way – Who is responsible for vegetation removal (if applicable) along edge of pavement prior to FOG Seal application?

The City will hire a licensed pesticide applicator to complete chemical edging of all City roadways, with a target of a 1 ft. edge with a one-time application of a non-selective herbicide, as well as a pre-emergent to help mitigate the regrowth of grass and weeds for up to 2 months.  The applicator will also spray any crack weeds within 3 ft. of the street edge, as well.

2.  Maintenance Bond – The General Conditions require a maintenance bond guaranteeing “all work against defective materials and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of final acceptance.”  What are the City’s expectations regarding the Maintenance Bond and FOG Seal life expectancy / durability?

The City understands that FOG Seal extends the life of area roadways 2 to 4 years.  The City expects the applied FOG Seal to accomplish the following three items:

– Preserve recently applied chip seal and slow down roadway oxidation.
– Add chip seal retention properties.
– Improve road aesthetics.

The City understands that applied FOG Seal will fade over time.

3.  Parking Areas – Will FOG Seal be applied in parking areas (particularly around the Downtown Area)?  If so, will the contractor be responsible for street stripping?

FOG Seal will be applied over chip sealed areas within the main roadway section.  At this time, parking areas will not be FOG Sealed, and the contractor will not be responsible for street stripping.  The City reserves the right to add FOG Seal to areas outside the current scope of work, payable at the per unit bid price.

4.  Notice of Additive Alternate Addendum:

As of 9/26/24, the City has amended the bid package to include an Additive Alternate for e-Fog-HP, NT-HRE 66/33, in lieu of the CSS-1H FOG seal application.  The City is interested in the e-Fog-HP application due to its ability to resist tracking, reduce windshield damage, and cure time.  Per the manufacturer, e-Fog-HP does not require specialized distributors or related equipment for proper application.  While not required, Contractors are encouraged to bid both CSS-1H and e-Fog-HP applications.  Please see below for amended Bid Tab and product specifications:

Contractors should also ensure that they acknowledge the Addendum on the Bid Form (pg. 10 of 28) prior to submitting bids.

Lastly, due to the Additive Alternate Addendum, the City is extending the bid deadline to Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 3:00 p.m.  Bids will be publicly opened and read aloud at the same location at 3:05 p.m.
