Marion approves pavement‑marking contract and pays town accounts; single responsive bidder cited
Summary
The council awarded a pavement-marking contract to Clatterbuck Pavement Markings after a single responsive bid and voted to pay town accounts. Council emphasized the need to accelerate road markings for new paving near commercial corridors.
Council voted to award the pavement-marking contract for recently paved streets to Clatterbuck Pavement Markings after staff said only one firm responded to a full RFP. Staff and council members stressed urgency for markings on major corridors, including Chadill Road and Main Street through the Walmart area, noting safety concerns if turn lanes and lane lines are not visible.
Separately, the council reviewed accounts payable and approved payment of town bills after questions about line-item details (one $800 expense was described as payment for a musical performer at a cruise-in event). Council also asked about a vendor change for office supplies (a store referred to as A Toz) and whether town purchasing should continue with the new owner.
A motion to award the pavement-marking contract and a motion to pay the accounts both passed by unanimous vote.
Next steps: Staff will coordinate scope and schedule with the vendor and finalize the marking timeline; finance staff will process the approved accounts for payment.
