Asphalt binder is specified by performance grade under the AASHTO methods, and a supplier that does not read the PG grade and the delivery scope is quoting the wrong material.
What asphalt binder supply sets
Asphalt binder is furnished by performance grade, such as a PG 64 or PG 76 class set under the AASHTO specifications, with the grade matched to the climate and the traffic. The solicitation sets the PG grade, the quantities, the certifications, and the delivery the asphalt supplier must furnish.
Why binder supply is easy to misquote
The required performance grade, the modification, and the delivery sit in the specifications, not the title, and the wrong grade is the wrong product. A supplier that misreads the PG grade quotes a binder that does not meet the climate or traffic requirement.
How an AI tender agent reads binder supply
An AI tender agent reads each asphalt solicitation, identifies the performance grade and the quantities, and surfaces the certifications and delivery that drive the quote. The asphalt supplier quotes the actual grade.
You can see how the agent reads an asphalt solicitation in our AI tender agent demo for materials and equipment suppliers. It pulls the performance grade, quantities, and delivery so the binder is quoted correctly.
