PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Public Works Department uses water based traffic paint on City streets for painting road centerlines, crosswalks and curbs. The Department annually uses approximately 11,000 gallons of paint. The Public Works Department advertised for bids for the traffic paint in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's website. Bids were opened on March 27, 2018. The contract award will be based on the lowest three year average per gallong price.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve purchasing the traffic paint, or;
- Disapprove purchasing the traffic paint, which will result in the road centerlines, crosswalk and curbs not being painted in 2018.
