A Resolution authorizing the execution of a contract to Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. in the amount of $185,443.15 for the 2026 Pavement Marking Maintenance Project.
PURPOSE:
To award a Construction Contract for various pavement marking projects throughout the City.
BACKGROUND:
The City maintains over 530 centerline miles of streets that include sidewalks, pavement markings and bike paths. Traditionally, pavement marking projects have been part of the yearly R.O.W. Maintenance Program. This year staff has elected to use the DuPage County D.O.T. joint purchasing program for pavement markings.
DISCUSSION:
This project was advertised on March 5, 2026 and can be found on DuPage County's website (https://www.dupagecounty.gov/_T6_R404.php). Bids were opened and publicly read on March 26, 2026. The lowest responsible bidder was Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. from Pingree Grove, IL. The DuPage County contract included a section on Joint Purchasing. Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. had indicated in the bid that they would be willing to extend their bid prices to other governmental agencies.
The City's contract with Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. will need to be separate from the County's contract. A copy of the contract that will be executed by the City is included as Exhibit 'A'. Included within this document is a copy of the contract between the County of DuPage and the contractor. The executed contract amount between the City and Precision Pavement Markings, Inc. will be $185,443.15. This amount includes Items To Be Ordered by the Engineer, which will account for pay items not included in DuPage County's contract.
The 2026 City Budget provides funds for this project in account 212-4060-431.73-91 (GB097).
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Construction will begin in August and be completed by November. Minor impacts to local traffic are expected.
