Asphalt Crack Filling, Sealing, and
Parking Lot Line Painting
Addendum #3
ADDENDUM #3 The plans and specifications are modified, corrected,
augmented or supplemented as follows and this Addendum #1 is hereby
made a part of the RFP documents. Vendor shall note on the form below that
this Addendum #3 has been received and include the completed form in
the submitted proposal.
CLARIFICATION: Monroe County Community College is not considering this project a
Construction Project based on the following criteria and will not require a Bid Bond or a
Performance Bond.
Asphalt sealing — such as sealcoating or crack sealing — is not typically classified as a
full-scale construction project in the traditional sense, but it does involve construction-
like activities and can be considered a pavement maintenance or repair operation.
Why it’s not full construction

Monroe County Community College
Full construction projects usually involve creating new structures, infrastructure, or major
pavement layers (like milling and resurfacing). Asphalt sealing is a preventative
maintenance measure that applies a protective layer over an existing surface to
extend its life. It does not add new structural capacity or change the pavement’s
thickness.
Why it has construction-like elements
Despite being maintenance, asphalt sealing follows construction procedures:
• Surface preparation: cleaning, crack filling, and milling if needed.
• Material application: using specialized sealants or emulsions in a controlled
process.
• Quality control: ensuring even coverage, proper curing, and meeting
performance standards.
• Regulatory compliance: in public or highway contexts, it follows manuals like the
FHWA’s Materials and Procedures for Sealing and Filling Cracks in Asphalt-
Surfaced Pavements.
Accounting and project classification
From a business or government project standpoint:
• Routine sealing (e.g., every 3–5 years) is generally maintenance capital
expenditure if it extends the life of an asset beyond one year
• Major sealing projects (e.g., large-scale public road sealing) may be treated
as capital improvement projects if they are part of a long-term infrastructure
plan.
• Minor repairs (like patching small cracks) are often expensed as maintenance
costs.
Asphalt sealing is not a traditional construction project, but it does involve construction
methods and can be part of a larger pavement maintenance or capital improvement
program. Whether it’s classified as construction depends on the scale, purpose, and
context — routine sealing is maintenance, while large-scale or public infrastructure
sealing can be considered a construction or capital project.
