RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute on behalf of the Public Works Director, a blanket purchase order with Ennis Flint, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $750,000, for thermoplastic traffic striping material and rapid dry waterborne paint, used for road maintenance work, for the period November 1, 2022 through October 31, 2025, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Maintenance Division maintains over 600 miles of County roads. For the reasons of motorist- and public safety, and implementing federal and state mandates, the Maintenance Division applies traffic striping for center lines, shoulder lines, stops, limit bars, crosswalks, and all road markings. In addition, rapid dry waterborne paints help protect the watershed, the environment, and the public. The County issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 2206-573 for thermoplastic traffic striping material and rapid dry waterborne paint. Ennis Flint, Inc., was one of the companies selected.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this blanket purchase order may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road maintenance in a timely manner.
