Pavement markings are part of the City of Allen's street maintenance program.  Each year the City budgets for replacing existing and installing new pavement markings where deemed necessary. These pavement markings include thermoplastic striping for Share-the-Road symbols and striping at intersections, along certain roadways, and in school zones. The City also replaces existing raised pavement markings where they exist today. These raised pavement markings ("button" type), are located along several roadways in the City to emphasize lane designations and vehicle maneuvers.

The City Manager has executed an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Midlothian allowing the City of Allen to utilize contracted pricing as bid and awarded by Midlothian. This agreement allows the City of Allen to utilize Road Master Striping as a contractor to meet the demand of replacing aging striping in a timely manner. The City currently has a contract with Action Services for pavement marking installation as well. This new contract with Road Master will provide additional resources to complete the pavement marking maintenance program this fiscal year.

There are sufficient funds in the 2015-2016 operating budget for this contract.

Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for thermoplastic and raised pavement markings with Road Master Striping through an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Midlothian for an amount not to exceed $125,000.

I make a motion to authorize the City Manager to execute a contract for thermoplastic and raised pavement markings with Road Master Striping through an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Midlothian for an amount not to exceed $125,000.
