Public Works staff recommend participating on the City of Richardson contract 72-24 for the Annual Requirements Contract for Furnishing and Installation of Pavement Marking Material with A & M Maintenance Services, Inc. This contract will furnish and install pavement markings (stripes, crosswalks, traffic buttons, etc.) along our roadways and in our parking lots, as necessary to maintain safe movement of motorists and pedestrians. The estimated annual expenditure is $775,000.
Public Works staff routinely inspect pavement markings to identify reflectivity and repair needs. Typically, 33 miles of centerline striping require replacement each year. In addition, 30 intersections and 17 parking lots typically require pavement marking replacement each year.
If this contract is not awarded, Public Works staff would need to purchase specialized equipment and hire staff to maintain the pavement markings.
The City is authorized to purchase from a cooperative purchasing program with another local government or a local cooperative organization pursuant to Chapter 271 Subchapter F of the Texas Local Government Code and by doing so satisfies any State Law requiring local governments to seek competitive bids for items.
