Trustees approve higher-cost striping contract; staff to reassign paving savings to cover overage
Summary
After receiving no competitive bids, trustees authorized staff to proceed with Road Safe Traffic Systems for the 2025 long-line striping project and approved a funding reallocation to cover an estimated $37,000 over budget.
The Board of Trustees approved a single-source award to Road Safe Traffic Systems for the 2025 long-line striping project after the town did not receive bids through its advertised process.
Public works staff said historically they solicit multiple bids but received none this year; Road Safe provided a late quote and staff recommended the firm based on prior work for Colorado Department of Transportation and local agencies. Staff said the project cost exceeds the 2025 striping budget by about $37,000, but that the street fund can absorb the overage by shifting about $25,000–$27,000 from paving projects that are running under budget.
The scope includes repainting bike lanes, double centerlines and other typical yearly striping on Main Street, Arizona Street and Rodeo Road. Trustees and staff discussed bicyclist safety on Rodeo Road, including whether two‑way bike markings and additional signage or delineators would help. Trustees asked staff to coordinate potential stencil markings, strategic signage and public outreach in coordination with the trails advisory group and sheriff’s office social channels.
Trustees moved and passed Resolution 48 to authorize the contract and the budget reallocation. Staff said the project will proceed with the contractor and that staff will return with any further recommendations for physical delineators or larger retrofits in future transportation planning.
