Jim Haggerton, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Transportation Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
DATE: November 18, 2011
SUBJECT: 2011 501 Fund Eauipment Rental Budget
Purchase of a Thermoplastic Striper
ISSUE
Purchase pavement marking equipment listed in the 2011 Budget.
BACKGROUND
The existing paint striper was purchased in 2000 and total depreciation was achieved in
2010. A new unit was budgeted in 2010; however, all equipment purchases were put on
hold due to the economic downturn. The budget funds were then included in the 2011
Budget as a carryover, Line 18 on page 299 for $80,000.00.
ANALYSIS
As paint usually begins to fade within 6 -12 months after application, we are proposing to
purchase a thermoplastic striper. Using Thermoply instead of paint will increase efficiency of
operations significantly by increasing the life expectancy of the pavement markings. The
Thermoply application normally lasts several years.
Alpine Products of Auburn was the low bidder for King County's system and the City of
Tukwila can piggy back on their bid for the same system. The Thermoply system includes a
trailer, melter, and an applicator.
BUDGET SUMMARY
The purchase price for a new thermoplastic striper is $92,896.52 and with the $80,000.00
budgeted; a balance of $12,896.52 is still needed. We are proposing to use $4,840.00
liquidated from the 501 fund from a Street Department's Line Locator that has been
completely depreciated and will not be replaced. The remaining funding difference of
$8,056.52 can be funded from the Streets Department's roadside budget line
000.16.542.700.31.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve purchase in the amount of $92,896.52 per King County bid for a Thermoplastic
Striper from Alpine Products and consider this item at the November 28, 2011 Committee of
the Whole meeting and subsequent December 5, 2011 Regular meeting.
