Compton awards $847,000 curb‑painting contract with GIS data collection after debate over bids

Summary
The City of Compton approved a three‑year service agreement with Savvy Construction for citywide curb painting and GIS data collection for $847,000 (plus a $282,333.34 purchase order), after staff said a competing proposal was nonresponsive and explained the scope and timeline.
The Compton City Council approved a three‑year service agreement with Savvy Construction Incorporated to perform citywide curb painting, sandblasting and GIS data collection in a contract totaling $847,000 with a $282,333.34 purchase order. Staff said the contract price equates to roughly $2 per linear foot and will cover about 37 miles of red‑curb painting over the multi‑year term.
Council members questioned bid differences (an apparent competing bid at $189,000 and another nonresponsive submission that omitted curb‑painting work). Public works staff explained Findlay’s proposal was deemed nonresponsive because it lacked required painting work and that Savvy’s bid included both painting and GIS deliverables; council members asked about sandblasting, patching, and whether the scope would cover loading/unloading zones and other colors beyond red.
Staff described the contract as enabling compliance with a recent state law requiring curb‑painting actions and said the work would likely take up to three years to complete. Council members voted to award the contract by roll call. The city will collect GIS data for asset management and public‑works scheduling and will require contractor performance standards such as grinding, patching and repainting as necessary.
What’s next: staff will proceed with contract execution and coordinate with Public Works to schedule work zones and provide public notice where needed.
