The City uses different hot asphalt mix (HMA) aggregate gradations on its daily operations. The HMA aggregate gradations are 3/4” medium, ½” fine, 3/8” fine, ¼” fine, and sheet asphalt. The City prefers its asphalt products supplier to produce HMA in a batch plant over drum plant because a batch plant has the ability to switch production of HMA of different gradations. Delivery: The City will purchase Hot Mix Asphalt in different aggregate gradations and different tonnage for each purchase. Due to the limited shelf life of hot asphalt, transporting material over an extended distance will impact the quality of the projects performed by the City crews.

Bayshore Road in Palo Alto. For the purpose of calculating mileage, Google Maps will be the only authorized method for making these calculations. No other calculation will be accepted.
