TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Timothy Forbes Superintendent of Streets
DATE: 8/2/16
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing Acceptance of the DuPage County Division of Transportation Bid Pricing for the 2016 Pavement Marking Maintenance for the Division of Street Maintenance
PURPOSE:
The City has an opportunity for cost savings by utilizing the successful bidder Superior Road Striping, Inc., 1980 N. Hawthorne Ave., Melrose Park, IL
BACKGROUND:
The emerald ash borer epidemic required the removal of thousands of parkway trees over the past several years. City crews normally assigned to pavement markings were needed for tree removal. As a result, the normal pavement marking maintenance schedule was interrupted.
DISCUSSION:
Street Division staff evaluated pavement markings city-wide on heavily traveled roadways and identified streets on the attached list that pavement markings were found to be worn and need replacement.
Earlier this year, the DuPage County Division of Transportation solicited bid proposals for the 2016 Pavement Marking Maintenance. Superior Road Striping, Inc, was the successful bidder and will allow other governmental agencies to participate in this program.
A divisional budget transfer will be submitted into account 101-4460-431-38.06 (Streets & Bridges) for this expenditure. We are anticipating spending up to $75,000 for this work.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
By approving this expenditure, the City will be improving the visibility of pavement markings and safety of driving on Aurora's roadways.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The City Council accepts the bid pricing from Superior Road Striping, Inc., Melrose Park, IL for the Division of Streets under the DuPage County Division of Transportation bid for 2016 Pavement Marking Maintenance.
