DESCRIPTION:
Miscellaneous striping work has been performed through MCE's subcontractor in
previous years. The current agreement with MCE provides for the City to
obtain bids on projects where the materials provided exceed $5,000. The
Public Works director has prepared specifications which will allow this work
to go out to competitive bid in 1990-91. This is similar to the a~nual
slurry seal and street repair contracts. The operating budget for striping
and marking includes the work for the overlay contract as well as The
miscellaneous day-to-day striping needs that are covered in this contract.
The quantities are based on known striping needs, with an extension for
probable needs. The bid specifications include a provision for a move-in
charge for individual orders under $1,000.
The prices bid on this contract will remain in effect for a period of one
year. The Contractor selected will be used to respond to the City's various
striping needs as they arise. The contract will also include planned
striping such as the annual restriping of school zones and major arterials.
This contract will be primarily painted striping, and the overlay contract
will include mostly thermoplastic striping. The thermoplastic process is
being used on major arterials and other streets after they are overlaid.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the solicitation of bids for
the Annual Striping Contract.
