Thermo-Lay asphalt repair equipment is now available for purchase through the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative under Contract 788-25: Construction, Road and Bridge, and Other Related Equipment.
BuyBoard: Streamlined Procurement, Proven Compliance
For public entities, the challenge of acquiring large capital equipment is rarely about finding the right machine; it’s about procuring it. The conventional Request for Proposals (RFP) process is a labyrinth of paperwork, legal notices, bidding windows, and evaluation matrixes that can drag on for months, delaying critical road maintenance.
BuyBoard changes everything. It is a national purchasing cooperative created specifically for governmental entities—including municipalities, counties, school districts, and nonprofits—to leverage collective buying power.
By purchasing your Thermo-Lay equipment through BuyBoard, you unlock significant advantages:
- Compliance, Handled: BuyBoard vendors have already undergone a rigorous, competitive procurement process that complies with state and local purchasing requirements. When you buy from our BuyBoard contract, you have the peace of mind knowing the competitive bidding legalities are already satisfied.
- Accelerated Timeline: Skip the months-long RFP cycle. Once your leadership approves the budget, you can move directly to purchase. BuyBoard allows you to go from identifying a need to placing an order in days, not months.
- Transparent, Competitive Pricing: Because BuyBoard pools the purchasing power of thousands of members, they negotiate the best possible value. You get transparent pricing without the administrative burden of conducting your own cost analysis.
- Reduced Administrative Costs: The time, effort, and resources your department spends on preparing specs and advertising for bids are eliminated. Your team can focus on what they do best: maintaining infrastructure.
Thermo-Lay: Permanent Solutions, Not Temporary Patches
BuyBoard streamlines how you buy; Thermo-Lay redefines what you buy. Our equipment isn’t just about filling a hole; it’s about restoring the integrity of the road surface.
The secret to a permanent patch is temperature. When you use “cold mix” asphalt, or try to apply cold “hot mix” from the back of a dump truck, it good bonding is at risk. Within weeks, water can penetrate the edges, traffic can push it out, and the pothole returns.
Thermo-Lay’s self-contained units use a proprietary heat-transfer oil system to maintain asphalt at the perfect binding temperature throughout the entire shift.
Our single-unit operation equips a two-person crew with everything they need to perform a complete, durable repair:
- Integrated Tack Tank: Apply hot tack material to the edges of the patch for a waterproof seal.
- Onboard Tools: Includes a weed burner, tack sprayer, cleaning fluid wand, and a jackhammer.
- Trouble-free Asphalt Dispensing: Our hopper release agent spray system and auger feed system ensure reliable material flow.
- Hydraulic Compactor: A hydraulic lift stows a hydraulic compactor for easy access when putting the final touches on a repair.
- Safe Tailgate Controls: All machine functions are controlled from the rear of the truck, keeping your crew out of the flow of traffic.
Thermo-Lay units are available in 2-yard, 4-yard, and 6-yard capacities, and can be configured as truck-mounted, hook-lift, slide-in, or trailer units to fit your existing fleet strategy. We even offer a 100% electric patch truck for entities pursuing sustainability goals.
