Explanation

The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, requires aluminum sign blanks, strain poles, thermoplastic pavement marking materials and preformed plastic pavement markings to perform its mission of promoting pedestrian safety and traffic control. Some uses of these items are sign manufacturing and traffic lane delineation.

These commodities are available for purchase per the terms and conditions of six (6) existing citywide universal term contracts (UTC) with five vendors:
Bayside Supply, LLC CC#: 311768289, Expires: 1/11/08
U.S. Standard Sign Company, CC#: 363671128, Expires: 7/1/98
Flint Trading, Incorporated, CC#: 561736552, Expires: 9/6/08
3-M Companies, CC#: 410417775, Expires: 5/31/08
DOBCO, CC# 582635948, Expires: 2/27/08

This ordinance authorizes the purchases per these contracts to meet the Transportation Division's anticipated needs for 2007 in the amount of $685,000.00.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for these expenditures are budgeted and available within the 2006 Capital Improvements Budget in the 1995, 1999, 2004 Voted Streets and Highways Fund in the traffic signal installation, Sign upgrades/streetname sign project and permanent pavement markings projects.

The division was authorized to spend $325,250.50 in 2004 (Ordinances 0265-2004, 0313-2004 and 0545-2004), $1,503,678.00 in 2005 (Ordinances 0289-2005, 1792-2005 and 1839-2005), $909,800.00 (Ordinances 1030-2006, 0740-2006) in 2006 for these and similar commodities.

Emergency action is requested to provide for an uninterrupted supply of these commodities that are critical to the division's programs that promote and enhance pedestrian and motorist safety and traffic control.
