Long Line Traffic Markings

BACKGROUND: 
Annually the Department of Public Works outsources the painting of the long line traffic markings on the major streets for the City.  The volume of work changes from year to year and the City has not surpassed the $25,000 purchasing threshold the past few years.  This year the City will surpass that threshold.  The recommended contractor is the only company with a local (Negaunee) office performing this type of work so we recommend waiving competitive bidding and authorize completion of the work in an amount not-to-exceed $35,000.  They are also used by MDOT across the Upper Peninsula.

FISCAL EFFECT: 
The Major Street Routine Maintenance Fund has $35,000 allocated for this contracted maintenance service.  Additionally, part of the work qualifies for funding from the Road Safety Improvement Fund which contains adequate funds.

RECOMMENDATION: 
Waive competitive bidding and authorize P.K. Contracting of Troy, Michigan to complete the long line traffic markings for an amount not-to-exceed $35,000.

ALTERNATIVES: 
As determined by the Commission.
