Analysis
The Thermoplastic Application System will provide the City with the ability to install pavement markings in a more efficient manner and with longer lasting results. This application system provides a pavement marking material that is highly visible and more durable than current water based pavement marking paint. The Thermoplastic Application System enables quick application of these types of detailed marking on all roadway surfaces.
Notice of bid #17013 was viewed by 17 vendors. There were no Grand Prairie vendors available that provided this equipment. One bid was received as shown on Attachment A.
The low bid received from Mark Rite Lines Equipment Company meets specifications and is recommended for award.
Financial Consideration
Funds for the purchase of the Thermoplastic Application System in the amount of $75,000, are available in FY 2016/2017 Equipment Acquisition Fund budget, 253010-68320.
