Purchases will be made in accordance with an Interlocal Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement with the City of North Richland Hills, Texas as allowed by Texas Government
Code, Section 271.101 and 271.102 and satisfies all bidding requirements.
The City of North Richland Hills, Texas solicited bids on RFB #14-018 from which they
awarded a contract to Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. on April 14, 2014. The Purchasing
and Public Works Department staff reviewed the contract for specification compliance
and determined that this contract would provide the best product, service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
This purchase will be used for micro -surfacing services for the Public Works
Department. Micro -surfacing is a thin maintenance treatment used on pavement
surfaces to reduce water infiltration, provides skid resistance, minimizes aging,
weathering and oxidation. In most cases micro -surfacing will provide a performance life
of about five to ten years and the department has found it to be cost effective in
comparison to other preventive maintenance treatments.
Staff recommends approval.
