Brighton awards 2025 pavement-marking contract to PK Contracting for up to $50,000
Summary
Council awarded a 2025 pavement marking contract—solicited jointly with neighboring jurisdictions—to PK Contracting in an amount not to exceed $50,000; staff said timing and traffic will determine work windows for thermoplastic striping and crosswalk bars.
Brighton — The Brighton City Council approved awarding the city’s 2025 pavement-marking contract to PK Contracting for an amount not to exceed $50,000. The contract covers thermoplastic striping, crosswalks and parking designations across multiple city streets.
DPS Director Josh (presentation) said the city participated in a group bid with neighboring jurisdictions to achieve scale. Bids returned with a single responsive bidder, PK Contracting, which the city has used previously. Director Josh said the work often requires thermoplastic materials that need specific temperature conditions and may require nighttime or off-peak work to avoid disrupting traffic.
Council members raised questions about marking style and consistency downtown. Council member Gardner asked whether the city will use the parking “T” markings that have been added in some downtown locations; Director Josh said staff will coordinate with the police department on where marked stalls are appropriate, will observe driveway clearances and fire-hydrant setbacks, and will consider consistency on Main Street. Director Josh said Grand River crosswalks will be striped with one-foot bar markings for visibility per a recent road-safety assessment and related grant guidance.
Council member Mayor Pro Tem Bohn (mover) made the motion to award the contract; Council member Albert seconded. The motion passed by voice vote. Director Josh said staff will attempt to schedule thermoplastic work during hours that minimize disruption, but much of the work will depend on contractor availability and summer traffic patterns.
