Attached for City Council review and approval is a proposal submitted by Whiteleaf LLC dba Traffic Solutions in an amount not to exceed $60,000.00 for the application of roadway striping.  The pricing is in accordance with Pasco County’s Annual Street Markings Contract, Bid #ITB No. IFB-DL-15-125.  It is the intent of staff to “Piggy Back” off of the Pasco County Contract in accordance with the City's Financial Policy and Purchasing Guidelines. 

The City’s Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance and repair of roadways owned by the City of New Port Richey.  The application of roadway markings or striping is a part of the maintenance activities.  The City’s current maintenance program calls for striping of roadways every five to seven years.  As Council is aware, Main Street from Congress Street to US Hwy 19 is the maintenance responsibility of the City.  Subsequent to staff review, it has been determined this portion of Main Street meets the guidelines set for roadway marking maintenance and upgrades. 

This proposed project will grind existing markings where needed, remove and replace existing raise pavement markers, and upgrade markings where needed in accordance with the current FDOT Florida Design Standards.  The City's Construction Management Division has reviewed line item totals and verified references supplied by the contractor.
