title
Director of Public Works requests approval of and authorization for the Chair to sign Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 220084B with Global Stabilization, LLC., increasing the amount by $41,976 to a new maximum of $324,876 and amending the scope of work to include application of EBS RA topical application (a “Fog Seal”) on various completed paving projects.
body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Today’s requested action is for approval of Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 220084B with Global Stabilization, LLC. The County, in conjunction with Global Stabilization, has recently completed paving on Olive Hill Lane, Mt. George Ave., West Zinfandel Lane, and Finnell Road. Based on recommendations from our Geotechnical engineer, staff has determined the addition of a fog seal over the new pavement will add several year’s life to the pavement. This amendment will increase the contract maximum to allow for Global Stabilization staff to apply 353,860 square feet of EBS RA topical application to these projects.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Global Stabilization, LLC., is a distributor of environmentally sensitive road building products focused on road
and aggregate stabilization, dust abatement, erosion control, and prime coat alternatives. The company is
comprised of road professionals who assist companies and organizations performing maintenance and
construction.
On July 20, 2021, the Board approved Agreement No. 220084B with Global Stabilization, LLC,
for a maximum of $282,900, for the term of August 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, for the rental of a pug mill machine and professional operator, and the purchase of EarthBind liquid solution for the crushing and mixing of ambient temperature asphalt for paving maintenance work on Mt. George and Olive Hill Lane roads. Global Stabilization was selected due to their ability to combine the county’s crushed stock pile of recycled asphalt with their proprietary product in the companies’ “pug mill” to produce ambient temperature asphalt. Once the ambient temperature asphalt is produced, the Napa County Roads crew transport (with the addition of 2 hired transfer trucks) the material from the road yard on Silverado Trail and place the material on both Olive Hill and Mt. George roads 2” thick in order to create a full width/ full length overlay. Since starting the project, it has been determined by the Road’s Superintendent that there is a need for Global Stabilization to apply a topical application (a Fog Seal) in order to properly complete the project.
