of Elk Grove Village, Illinois to install pavement markings in 2018 and 2019 at a cost not to
exceed $73,500 each year. Expenditures in 2019 will be limited to funds allocated for this
purpose in the 2019 budget. Staff also recommends that the Village Board authorize up to two
(2) one (1) -year extensions provided work is satisfactory and the contractor agrees to hold
Year 2 prices.
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 over time due to wear and exposure to
weather elements 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 2018 will be areas north of Central Road. Pavement marking work to be
completed in 2019 includes areas south of Central Road. All pavement markings in the downtown business district will be
refreshed in 2018 and again in 2019.
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 stipulated by the MPI contract. 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. The proposed contract is for a two (2) year term commencing in 2018 and concluding in 2019. The

extensions.
The following two (2) bids were publicly opened on April 30, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. in the Village of Mount Prospect Village
