PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Public Works Department uses Waterborne Traffic Paint on City streets for painting road centerlines, crosswalks and curbs. This product is a water based paint. On average, the Street/Traffic Division will use approximately 6,000 gallons of paint for the season. The Public Works Department advertised for bids in the Billings Times and the City internet for two weeks. Bids were opened for the Waterborne Traffic paint on April 21, 2015. State law requires the governing body to consider bids at the meeting immediately following a bid opening. Staff needs additional time to review these bids and requests that the City Council delay the bid award until the May 11, 2015 Council meeting.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Delay the award for the purchase of the Waterborne Traffic Paint until the May 11, 2015 Council meeting; or
- Reject the bids for the purchase of the Waterborne Traffic Paint.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost for the Waterborne Traffic Paint will be funded through the Public Works Department, Street/Traffic Division operation and maintenance budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council delay the bid award for the Waterborne Traffic Paint until the May 11, 2015 Council meeting.
