Title/Name/Summary
Pavement Marking Program - Proposal
History
The Public Works Department has had a program to contract out much of our pavement marking to an independent firm. Last year, the Village of Orland Park Staff was able to perform the necessary markings in-house. This year, it will be necessary to re-mark many of our main roadways such as Will-Cook Road, 143rd Street and 151st Street. In re-marking these roadways, some of the old marking may need to be removed, some may be able to be recoated and some could be in good condition and not need attention.
Since it is difficult to compile exact amounts to place in a bid, we have requested proposals based on a time and material (T&M) basis. The Village requested pricing for both water and enamel based markings. Three contractors were contacted to provide cost details for striping services: Marking Specialists Corporation of Cary, Illinois, A & M Striping of Alsip, Illinois, and Preform Traffic Control Systems, Ltd., of Elk Grove Village, Illinois (the contractor that has previously performed this work in 2005). Only Preform Traffic Controls and Marking Specialists submitted pricing. The proposal received from Preform Traffic Controls for pavement markings is significantly lower than that of Marking Specialists. Also, Public Works has been very pleased with the quality and workmanship of this Company in the past.
On August 13, 2007, this item was reviewed and approved by the Public Works and Engineering Committee and referred to the Board for approval.
