RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve a contract with B C Traffic Specialist in the amount of $48,261 for the Citywide Striping Maintenance Project.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The existing striping on many of the major arterial streets are faded and need to be repainted. The proposed Project includes repainting (one coat) over the existing lane lines and markings at most of our major arterial streets. The Project will utilize glass beads in the paint that allows the motorist to see the pavement line markings more clearly at night and in wet conditions.
The following arterial streets are scheduled for striping:
1. Bristol Parkway (Centinela Ave to Hannum Ave)
2. Cantebury Drive (Hannum Ave to Green Valley Circle)
3. Doverwood Drive (Green Valley Circle to Bristol Parkway)
4. Fox Hills Drive (Hannum Ave to Green Valley Circle)
5. Green Valley Circle (Centinela Ave to Sepulveda Blvd)
6. Hannum Avenue (Slauson Ave to Playa Street)
7. Hayden Avenue (National Blvd to Higuera Street)
8. Higuera Street (City Boundary to Washington Blvd)
9. Jefferson Avenue (405 Freeway to Hannum Ave)
10. Jefferson Avenue (City Boundary to Overland Ave)
11. Lucerne Avenue (Higuera Street to Duquesne Ave)
12. Overland Avenue (Jefferson Blvd to Sawtelle Blvd)
13. Overland Avenue (Washington Blvd to Jefferson Blvd)
14. Playa Street (Hannum Ave to Sawtelle Blvd)
15. Sepulveda Boulevard (City Boundary North to City boundary)
16. Sepulveda Boulevard (City Boundary to Jefferson Ave)
17. Sepulveda Boulevard (Slauson Ave to Sawtelle Blvd)
18. Slauson Avenue (Jefferson Ave to City Boundary)
19. Washington Boulevard (Culver Blvd to Overland Ave)
20. Washington Boulevard (National Blvd to Culver Blvd)
21. Washington Boulevard (Fairfax Ave to National Blvd)
22. Washington Boulevard (Sepulveda Blvd to Washington Place)
23. Washington Boulevard (Washington Place to Overland Ave)
24. West Side of La Cienega Blvd (City Boundary)
As this Project involves the repair and maintenance of public streets, is it not considered a Public Works Project, as defined in CCMC Section 3.07.010; therefore it is not subject to the bidding requirements set forth in CCMC Section 3.07.090. In addition, CCMC Section 3.07.085.C.6, provides an exception from the bid process for repair and maintenance service of City-owned real property, provided competitive quotes are obtained.
On May 9, 2017, three contractors were contacted and responded with the following quotes:
