$64,505 IN 2016
Department: Public Works Department
Information:
The proposed contract provides for pavement marking services on Village -owned or maintained streets.
The Village's street maintenance program includes the re -painting of all crosswalks, centerlines, lane dividing lines,
parking stalls and stop bars throughout the Village. Pavement markings fade thus compromising their reflectivity.
Repainting and applying reflective glass beading every two years is essential to maintain driver safety and
compliance with federal reflectivity standards.
For the purposes of this contract, the Village is divided into north and south sections using Central Road as the
dividing line. The sections are serviced every other year, except for the downtown area and parking lots, which are
done annually.
The pavement marking work to be completed in 2016 will be areas north of Central Road. Pavement marking work to
be completed in 2017 is for areas south of Central Road. All pavement markings in the downtown business district
will be refreshed in 2016 and again in 2017.
In exploring different opportunities to accomplish this task, staff looked to utilize the Municipal Partnering Initiative
(MPI). MPI has successfully completed a joint bid for pavement marking services in the past. However, the pricing
received by MPI was at a minimum $20,000 higher than the Village's most recent pavement marking bid. Staff
determined the difference between the two bids was the Village's decision to include a pay item for striping using a
truck versus hand painted striping. The MPI bid does not include a pay item for truck performed striping. The cost
difference between a truck painted line and a hand painted line is approximately $0.30 per lineal foot. The Village's
current bid includes 72,000 lineal feet of truck painted lines, which equates to a $21,000 savings over the most recent
MPI bid.
As such, staff elected to seek competitive bids via an in-house letting. Detailed bid specifications were prepared to
facilitate the work. A public bid notice was placed in a local newspaper and on the Village website pursuant to
purchasing policy. The proposed contract is for a two (2) year term commencing in 2016 and concluding in 2017.
