The Meridian City Council approved an owner‑authorized demand payment of $187,814.30 to Lane Line LLC related to the city's striping program, council materials show.
City staff explained the circumstances to council: the city had a 12‑month term striping contract (bid number 24‑21) and ordered work before the term expired, but Lane Line invoiced the city after the term had ended. Under purchasing rules staff said they elected to "activate this demand" to pay the invoice, and that Lane Line honored the prices from the original term bid.
Funding and procurement: Staff said the charge will be paid from the city’s Internet sales tax fund. The staff presentation described the procurement step as consistent with purchasing‑law procedures for invoices arriving after a term bid’s expiration.
Vote: The council moved, seconded, and approved the payment by voice vote; the transcript records an "Aye" vote and no opposition.
Details not in transcript: The materials referenced an original term bid and an invoiced amount but did not provide line‑by‑line backup in the spoken record; the transcript records staff saying they had ordered the work before the term expired and that the company invoiced afterward.
