Council approves epoxy striping for high-traffic streets; staff recommended Sentry Traffic
Summary
Council approved a contract to apply epoxy pavement markings on several high-traffic corridors and recommended epoxy over latex for longer-lasting markings; staff recommended Sentry Traffic’s epoxy bid (transcript quoted ~$17,008).
City staff presented a new chip-sealing and striping project covering Tenth Street and other high-traffic corridors and recommended awarding epoxy-based pavement markings to Sentry Traffic.
Staff said the project is new to the city and described two coating options: latex (shorter-lived, recommended yearly) and epoxy (longer-lasting, up to about four years between reapplications). Staff reported competing price quotes and recommended Sentry Traffic’s epoxy option; the transcript records an epoxy figure of about $17,008 for one bid and an epoxy quote of roughly $25,803.50 for another bidder. Council discussed the change to lane-line patterns in high-speed areas (maintaining a centerline but eliminating some outer white lines through the high-traffic stretch) and approved the staff recommendation in a voice vote.
Council directed staff to proceed with the epoxy markings for the identified corridors; the transcript does not contain a roll-call tally or named mover/second for the motion.
