The Engineering Department Traffic Division manages and administers the maintenance of the City's pavement markings. Each year, staff identifies segments of roadways that need to be restriped to ensure proper delineation is in place for the traveling public. When using only one contractor for this work, it has become increasingly difficult to complete the amount of work each year. Staff recommends using two contractors to ensure all new and replacement pavement markings are completed within the budget year.
The Engineering Department bid, and Allen City Council authorized a contract for pavement markings with Road Master Striping. It was initiated in 2018 and is renewable up to three years in contract duration. Since award, we have found Road Master to be a good contractor for intersection markings replacement and individual locations; however Total Highway Maintenance (THM) is better equipped for long linear projects (i.e. restriping the entire length of McDermott, from US75 to Custer). We are using the existing contract between THM and the City of McKinney, which complies with State law for procurement.
The City Manager has executed an Interlocal Agreement
with the City of McKinney allowing the City of Allen to utilize contracted
pricing as bid and awarded by McKinney. The City of McKinney advertised
and received four bid responses. A contract was duly passed and approved
by the City Council of the City of McKinney, Texas on the 7th day of
May, 2019.
