Explanation

Background: The Transportation Division is responsible for lane striping and pavement markings throughout the City. To accomplish this mission the Division requires a striping apparatus vehicle that can apply thermoplastic pavement marking materials to the various pavement surfaces. This truck will replace an older truck that is beyond its useful service life and provide for a more reliable fleet to carryout services provided by the Division.

Bids were advertised in the City Bulletin and were received by the Purchasing Office on July 8, 2004 for Bid SA-001183GRW as follows:

Vendor / Cab and Chassis / Truck Body / Unit Cost with Yellow Paint / Status
Mark Rite Lines Equipment Company, Inc. / GMC / MRL 4-8000 / $330,771 / Majority
M-B Companies, Inc. / Sterling / M-B TPX8000P / $338,076 / Majority

Fiscal Impact: The Transportation Division budgeted $3.2 million for street equipment in the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget. Thus far, the Division has spent $362,701 of this amount. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $330,771.00 for a pavement striping truck and body. The Transportation Division spent approximately $700,000 in 2003 on the purchase of dump trucks with plows.

Mark Rite Lines Equipment Company, Incorporated, contract compliance number 81-0529978, met specifications as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Emergency action is requested to ensure that the striping apparatus is available for use as soon as possible.
