Explanation
The Transportation Division is responsible for maintaining the City's pavement marking system. A raised pavement marker (RPM) project is needed to install reflective raised pavement markers on various roadways throughout the City. The Transportation Division annually assembles plans to install raised pavement markers (RPMs) on selected roadways as part of its pavement marking program. RPMs are a highly effective treatment to enhance the visibility of pavement markings during periods of darkness and bad weather conditions. This project includes installation of RPMs on twenty roadways in the City of Columbus. This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with International Contractors Corporation for the Raised Pavement Markers project.

International Contractors Corporation / $95,000.00 / majority
Traffic Specialists, Incorporated / $97,980.08 / majority
W.L. Markers Incorporated / $107,214.40 / majority
Lake Erie Construction Company / $113,175.00 / majority
