REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Bids for 2003 Epoxy Paint Striping Project
MEETING DATE: May 19, 2003
BACKGROUND: The City has obtained bids for epoxy paint striping of the City streets. We
decided three years ago to transition over to epoxy paint material to obtain greater durability over
the more conventional water based paints that are usually applied twice each year. Epoxy paint
has proved to be more durable and lasts approximately two years before needing to be redone.
Two bids were received from United Rentals of Billings and Arrow Striping of Billings. The bid
from United was low at $54,522.00. Attached is an analysis of the bids.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends award of the Epoxy Paint Striping bid to United
Rental of Billings.
ACTION REQUESTED: AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19 - MOTION
APPROVING AWARD OF THE 2003 EPDXY PAINT STRIPING PROJECT BID TO
UNITED RENTAL OF BILLINGS.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Expenditures of up to $54,522.00 from the Gas Tax budget.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Council
Respectfully
