Council approves purchase of traffic paint machine from Sherwin Industries
Summary
Public works staff told council the city's line-striping machine is about 20 years old and recommended replacing it; council approved purchase from Sherwin Industries for $20,005.26 after brief discussion of warranty and service.
A public works staff member asked the council to approve a quote for a replacement traffic paint machine, saying the current machine "is about 20 years old right now" and is used roughly six months a year. The staff member said the recommended unit is the Graco Line Laser 5900 with two guns, two bead dispensers and an optional ride-on attachment to improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue.
Council members asked about supplier differences and service availability. The staff member and others clarified that Sherwin Williams and Sherwin Industries are both retailers and that major warranty work would go to the manufacturer, Graco. A council member moved to accept Sherwin Industries' quote for $20,005.26; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call.
