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 RPM's on selected roadways as part of our pavement marking program. RPM's are a highly effective treatment to help enhance the visibility of pavement markings during periods of darkness and bad weather conditions. This project includes installation of RPMs on forty roadways in the City of Columbus. This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a contract with W. L. Markers, Incorporated, for the Raised Pavement Markers project.

This project was bid in compliance with the Columbus City Code and advertised in the Columbus City Bulletin. Formal competitive bids were received and tabulated on February 8, 2007 by the Transportation Division as follows:

W.L. Markers Incorporated/ $120,798.19/ Majority

The Transportation Division recommends the contract be awarded to W.L. Markers, Incorporated, as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder. Contract compliance number 31-1657131 (expires May 5, 2007). This ordinance also authorizes funding to provide inspection services in the amount of $10,871.84.
