BID FORM INSTRUCTIONS
for the construction of
2007 ROADWAY MAINTENANCE SEALING PROJECT
SEALED BID NO.: 07-12
The work for which this bid is submitted is for construction in conformance with the special provisions
(including the payment of not less than the State general prevailing wage rates or Federal minimum
wage rates), the project plans described below, including any addenda thereto, the contract annexed
hereto, and also in conformance with the California Department of Transportation Standard
Specifications, dated May, 2006, and the Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rates in effect on the
date the work is accomplished.
Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be
the total of all items.
The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for
each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided
for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column
shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price
shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the
same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item
total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the
item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly
off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered
total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever
most closely approximates percentage wise the unit price or item total in the COUNTY OF
AMADOR's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may
be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear,
or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a
clear, readable total bid is provided.
2007 Roadway Maintenance Sealing Project
Contract No. 07-12

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in
establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums
will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents
symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are
assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall
be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the
item total, the items total shall prevail.

SECTION 8-2. PETROLEUM BASED CRACK SEALER
8-2.01 SCOPE AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
Cracks in existing asphalt concrete surfacing of traffic lanes and shoulders shall be prepared and filled
with crack sealant as shown on the plans and in conformance with these special provisions. Cracks 1/8
inch and wider in existing asphalt concrete surfacing and shoulders shall be prepared and sealed.
Limits of lanes and shoulders to be prepared and sealed shall be as designated on the plans or directed
by the Project Manager. The Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a Certificate of
Compliance conforming to the provisions in Section 6-1.07, “Certificate of Compliance,” by the
Standard Specifications for each shipment of crack sealant. The certificate shall certify that the sealant
conforms to the specifications, and shall be accompanied with storage and heating instructions and
cautions for the material.
Description
This work consists of sealing cracks in flexible locations designated by the Project Manager. Areas
to be crack sealed are listed by road name. Total lengths of road segments are specified for each
road. The overall strategy is to have the cracks 1/8 inch or wider, sealed on each street and road.
Materials
Sealant – The Project Manager shall approve all sealant materials for crack repair of all pavements
before being incorporated into the work. Prior to commencement of work, Contractor will furnish
a complete written statement of the origin, composition, manufacturer of materials, and installation
procedures for the material that is to be used. Modified asphalt crack sealant shall be a mixture of
paving asphalt and ground rubber or ground rubber and polymer. The gradation of the ground
rubber shall be such that 100 percent will pass a 2.36-mm sieve.
Modified asphalt crack sealant shall conform to the following requirements:

sealant material shall be capable of being melted and applied to cracks at temperatures below
204°C. When heated, it shall readily penetrate cracks 1/8 inch wide or wider.
Construction
A.
48 hours prior to slurry seal operations, the contractor shall notify all residents, businesses
and agencies with an approved written notice detailing the streets and limits of work to be done along
with the hours of work. The contractor shall also post all streets with temporary "No Parking - Tow
Away" signs at 50 foot staggered intervals. These signs shall also state the day of the week and hours
of no parking.
B.
All road and streets to be crack sealed shall have an approved herbicide applied to all
vegetation in the cracks a minimum of ten (10) days in advance of cleaning. Extreme care shall be
used when placing the herbicide to insure that it is not allowed to go beyond the intended limits.
The Contractor is responsible for all required licenses and damage to any plant caused by the
Contractor’s operations outside of the roadway. In lieu of herbicide treatment, a hot air lance
suitable for destroying vegetation may be used. If a hot air lance is used, the Contractor shall use
extreme caution in the prevention of fire. In the event of a fire, the Contractor shall have fire
suppression equipment on site, and bear the cost of any damages, by said fire.
C.
Proper sealing equipment must be used for the specific material listed in accordance with
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
D.
Follow manufacturer’s recommendations for application. No material shall be prepared or
applied until the ambient temperature is 10°C or greater and the pavement temperature is 7.2°C or
greater. In the event the pavement temperature drops below 7.2°C application will be suspended.
E.
The sealant material shall be prepared, heated and applied consistent with the
manufacturer’s specifications. When the Project Manager is satisfied that the mix has reached the
desired temperature and consistency, application may proceed. The sealant materials shall be
mixed and heated to a minimum temperature of 176°C but not higher that 204°C.
F.
The sealant material shall be applied slowly and smoothly from the bottom of the crack
upward in a manner which will not result in air entrapment or pocketing. The material will be
brought up flush with the surface where a “U” shaped squeegee may be used to remove any excess
and to create an overlap of the adjacent surfaces. This overlap shall not exceed 1.5 inches on each
surface nor shall it be less than ½ inch.
G.
If the sealant settles more than 1/8 inch the Contractor shall apply an additional layer(s) of
sealant to bring the material level with the surface. Any time during the one year maintenance
period the sealant settles more than ¼ inch the Contractor shall, at no cost to Amador County,
apply an additional layer(s) of sealant to bring the material level with the surface.
H.
Sufficient time shall be allowed for curing of the sealant before any vehicular traffic is
allowed to resume. The Inspector may approve minor sanding. The sand will be incidental to the
Contract. If traffic results in lifting or transfer of the material, the Contractor shall immediately
repair the damage and again allow for proper curing. Repairs will be at the Contractor’s expense.
I.
General - Low modulus asphalt crack sealant shall be furnished premixed in containers with
an inside liner of polyethylene. Packaged material shall not exceed 30 kg in mass. The sealant
shall be capable of being melted and applied to cracks at temperatures below 204°C. When heated,
it shall readily penetrate cracks 1/8 inch or wider.
Cracks that are one inch wide or wider shall be filled with sealant flush with the existing asphalt
concrete surfacing and shoulders. While the sealant is still hot, these cracks shall be covered with
crushed aggregate conforming to the provisions for Type II slurry seal in Section 37-2.02C of the
2007 Roadway Maintenance Sealing Project

Standard Specifications and compacted with a wetted steel wheel roller or vibrating plate
compactor large enough to compact the sealant to the cross section shown on the plans.
J.
Preparation – Cracks to be filled and adjacent concrete surfacing shall be cleaned and shall
be free of dirt, vegetation, debris and loose sealant below the street surface level. Cleaning shall be
done by air blasting. Old sealant which protrudes above the asphalt concrete surfacing shall be
completely removed. Routing will not be required. Hot compressed air or other means, approved
by the Project Manager, shall be used to clean and dry the crack immediately prior to the
application of crack sealant. When moisture is present, hot compressed air or other means,
approved by the Project Manager, shall be used to clean and dry the crack immediately prior to
