Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
At the request of the Department of Transportation, the Procurement and Contracts Division issued an Invitation to Bid for the purchase of High Performance Cold Patch Mix for the West Slope of El Dorado County for the maintenance and repair of county roads. The Invitation to Bid was published in the County's eProcurement system, PlanetBids, and twenty-one Invitations to Bid were mailed, three to local vendors. One qualified response was received, none from local vendors, as they do not produce this material.
ALTERNATIVES
Without High Performance Cold Patch Mix for the routine patching of potholes on the West Slope of El Dorado County, would result in further deterioration of County roads. Using a less durable temporary patching material will result in increased labor and equipment cost because it would require reapplication of the material.
