09.d2 PW - 2022 Road Marking (2)
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: 7/19/2022
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Charles Fischer – Director of Public Works
Subject: 2022 Road Marking
Background:
The road marking(striping) which has been added to City streets has been a majority of double yellow center
lines with some passing areas in selected areas. The process of reapplying paint or epoxy has not been done in
recent years. The current state of our center line markings is from very good (new construction) to poor (not
reapplied in many years). The center lines have been adopted on Minor Collector roads and aide in safer
driving conditions at night or during severe weather conditions. The center lines also assist plow drivers to
maintain the center of the roadway during snow and ice removal operations. Road striping material, similar in
all paints, comes in a variety of base material. Typical road striping material is either latex or epoxy based. The
most economical, but with a short lifespan or wear tolerance, is latex base. Epoxy base material, which costs
more but with a longer lifespan or wear tolerance, puts it closer to a 1:1 or better cost comparison and does
not need to be reapplied as often. The use of latex-based material may only last one year while epoxy based
material should last three or possibly four years.
Issue:
Should Council approve the use of Public Works General Fund to update the center lines on all green
highlighted roads referenced on the included map.
Proposal Details:
Public Works calculates 39,520 linear feet of double yellow center line to be completed this year. With the use
of an epoxy base material Public Works is planning a four-year cycle for reapplying center line markings. The
roads this year represent close to 30% of our total linear feet of center line. By segmenting the City into 4
sections saves application cost (travel time through the City by the contractor) and make it easier to budget
for application costs in the future. Three contractors provided quotes for striping; two provided latex and
epoxy base costs and one provided only latex base cost. Some years, depending on wear, other segments of
road may be added and not follow a four-year cycle.
Fiscal Impact:
The Public Works General Fund 405-Contractual Road Maintenance will be used to support this project. The
beginning year balance of the line item is $150,000, so far CC applications , road sweeping, and crack sealing
have used this line item for payment. The calculated remaining balance of the line item is $114,000 and in
good standing to support this project.
Options:
Latex: least durable material
Option 1: WarningLites $9,098.60
Option 2: LinesALot $10,432.80
Option 3: Miller $31,189
Epoxy: more durable material
Option 4: LinesALot $22,234.40
Option 5: WarningLites $25,292.80
Recommendation:
Option 4 is recommended; this option includes using epoxy base material that will have a longer life span and
allow for segmenting the City into a regular pattern of reapplication and allow for more functional budgeting
each year.
