The City needs to have these markings painted now that the <br />seal coat has covered the originals up. Rather than replace all forty left turn arrows, staff <br />is proposing to replace only twenty of them. It should still be very clear to drivers that <br />the center lane is for left turns. <br />Along with the markings on B2 staff also needs to add some crosswalk markings at <br />intersections that need them and replace four existing crosswalks that have either been <br />covered up by seal coating or have worn out. We had most of our crosswalks painted <br />with epoxy paint back in 2007 and most of them are still in very good shape. The <br />decision to use epoxy paint appears to have been a good one. <br />Staff solicited quotes from two vendors both experienced in epoxy coatings for the <br />pavement marking project. <br />Century Fence: $15,175 <br />AAA Striping: $13,220 <br />Based on the quotes received staff recommends accepting the quote from AAA Striping <br />for $13,220 for the 2012 pavement marking project. The unusually high cost for the <br />markings was anticipated and accounted for in the 2012 Streets Budget. <br />1 <br />
