Hot Mix Asphalt

This contract is a one‑year, renewable supply agreement for hot‑mix asphalt material for Sedgwick County’s public‑works road‑maintenance projects. The county is purchasing two grades of asphalt (⅜‑inch BM‑1 with 10 % RAP and ¾‑inch BM‑2 with up to 25 % RAP) on a commodity‑only basis; the county will handle haulage. Pearson Materials LLC was selected because, after factoring fuel, trucking wear, and labor, its overall cost of ownership was lower despite not having the lowest unit prices. Pricing is tied to the Kansas Department of Transportation Asphalt Material Index (AMI) and may be adjusted monthly. The contract term is one year with two optional one‑year extensions, and the total initial estimated value is roughly $133,750. • Supplies 500 tons of ⅜‑in hot‑mix (BM‑1) and 2,000 tons of ¾‑in hot‑mix (BM‑2). • Unit‑price contract linked to the AMI, allowing monthly price adjustments. • Single‑vendor award to Pearson Materials LLC, selected on total cost‑of‑ownership criteria.
