Rubberized Asphalt Grant Consultant (RFP)

Seeks a (Civil Engineering/ Asphalt Paving) consultant to assist with the administration of the Scrap Tire Management Program in relation to rubber-modified asphalt projects such as rubberized chip seal and rubberized asphalt. The Rubber-Modified Asphalt (RMA) grant funds the paving of approx. one mile of a county road with rubber-modified asphalt, with the county then required to pave the same area of a similar road with standard asphalt, and to monitor both sections for a five-year period. There are several different methods for incorporating recycled tire rubber into pavement and the grant is open to two different types of paving: chip seal (a process that combines one or more layers of asphalt with one or more layers of aggregate), and thin overlay (approx. 1.5" asphalt layer installed over existing asphalt pavement).
