Explanation

The Transportation Division maintains pavement markings on its roadways with its own forces and equipment. However, on concrete surfaces, and in this case bridge decks, the thermoplastic does not adhere sufficiently and prematurely deteriorates, leaving few if any markings on the bridge deck surfaces. This legislation authorizes the Transportation Division to enter into a contract in an amount up to $61,662.92 to provide epoxy pavement markings to 30 concrete bridge decks around the City. Some examples are Main Street over I-71 and Tuttle Crossing over I-270. This type of material is well suited to adhere to the concrete surface. This contract is necessary because applying epoxy instead of thermoplastic to these bridge decks requires specialized equipment which the City does not have. The Transportation Division is also currently researching other materials and methods that would allow its own forces to properly maintain the pavement markings on bridges. The contract duration is 40 days. This project was advertised in The City Bulletin. Four bidders were solicited and two bids were received and tabulated on May 29, 2003 as follows:

Kneisel Contracting Corporation $ 61,662.92
Ogelsby Construction, Inc. $ 78,378.37

Award will be made to Kneisel Contracting Corporation, CC No. 31-1346944 (expiration 06/03/2006) as the lowest, best, most responsive, and most responsible bid.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funds in the amount of $61,662.92 are available in the 1995, 1999 Voted Streets and Highways Fund for this project.

Emergency action is requested for the immediate execution of the contract for the earliest possible start of construction so that the improvement may be completed in 2003.
