Allan Ekberg, Mayor BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila Municipal Code requires all unbudgeted capital equipment items valued over $5,000 be approved by Council Committee. The Street division purchased a LineLazer Airless Professional Striper that will be used for curb painting and small striping jobs throughout the City. The large trailer- mounted striping machine is cumbersome and time consuming to use for small every day jobs as it takes a full day and two employees to prepare the trailer- mounted striper. The LineLazer striper can be ready in 15 minutes and although you wouldn't stripe the whole city with it, it is perfect for curbs, parking stalls, and the occasional street striping job that comes up. The LineLazer also has a 25 -foot hose and hand gun that can be used for stencils. ANALYSIS /FISCAL IMPACT The LineLazer striper was purchased for $6,296.25 and is within the budgeted amount of $40,000 in the Streets division's small tools and supplies. The LineLazer striper was not listed in the fleet's equipment listing for the 2015 -2016 biennial budget and as the item is over the $5,000 capital threshold, it requires Committee approval for the purchase. RECOMMENDATION Transportation Committee approval of the purchase of the Linelazer striper in the amount of $6,296.25 for the Public Works Street division.
