Summary

Council awarded the 2026–27 road striping contract to Specialized Pavement Markings for $102,746.15 after bids were solicited when Kitsap County stopped providing striping services; council authorized change orders up to 10% of contract value.

Public Works presented bids after Kitsap County ceased providing striping services to local jurisdictions. Two bidders responded; Specialized Pavement Markings submitted the winning proposal. Council moved to award the 2026–27 road striping contract in the amount of $102,746.15 and authorized the mayor to sign the contract and approve change orders up to 10% of contract value.

Public Works Manager Mike Lund explained the county had previously done the work at lower cost but no longer has the capacity to do so. Councilmember Doug Taber made the motion; members approved by roll call. The contract covers mainline striping beyond the city forces' in-house capacities and is intended to preserve safety markings throughout the city.

Council discussion noted the increase in cost compared with historical county pricing but emphasized safety and the need to maintain visible lane markings and crosswalks.
