Pre-Advertisement Notice for Hot Mix Asphalt

The City of Atlanta, on behalf of various City departments, will shortly undergo a Multi-Step Sealed Bid process comprised of a prequalification phase as the initial step, followed by an Invitation for Bid for the procurement of qualified suppliers to provide Hot Mix Asphalt and Asphaltic Cement. Materials will support the City¿s ongoing roadway maintenance, repair, emergency, and other operational needs and must comply with applicable City of Atlanta and Georgia Department of Transportation specifications. Interested vendors during the prequalification phase will be evaluated based on their demonstrated ability to produce and supply the required asphalt materials in accordance with established specifications and quality standards. Vendors must demonstrate adequate plant and production capacity, material availability, quality control capabilities, and the ability to accommodate the City¿s required pickup quantities and operating needs. Vendors must also demonstrate the ability to support extended operating hours, including nights, weekends, holidays, and emergency or special service requirements. The City¿s expectation is that the selected supplier(s) will provide a reliable and responsive source of Hot Mix Asphalt and Asphaltic Cement that meets required quality, temperature, and performance standards. Approximately 75 percent of materials are anticipated to be picked up by the City, and suppliers must have sufficient availability and operational capacity to support routine and emergency needs, including special services requiring response within 24 hours. A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be noticed and held to provide additional details and answer questions from interested vendors. We look forward to your participation.
