Background and Analysis:
This project will replace pavement markings around Cooper Point Road and Black Lake Boulevard intersection, by removing worn pavement markings and installing new plastic pavement markings. Pavement markings tend to wear over time and require maintenance. The new plastic pavement markings would be clear, bright, and more durable than paint.
Approval of this bid award will allow us to proceed to construction. Construction should start in late July and end in late September 2024.
Climate Analysis:
The plastic striping makes our streets safer for people walking, biking, and driving. This could encourage more people to walk and bike, which can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Equity Analysis:
The plastic striping makes our streets safer for people walking, biking, and driving. Safer streets mean more people have mobility choices, especially greater ability to walk and bike, which is important for those who cannot drive due to ability or cost.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
The community should expect delays for people driving, biking, and walking throughout the time construction is happening. The City will communicate with community members, emergency responders, schools, Intercity Transit, and other stakeholders about the schedule and traffic impacts through Twitter, media releases, and postcards.
Financial Impact:
This project is identified in the Capital Facilities Plan. Funding for the project comes from Olympia Real Estate Excise Tax funds.
The low bid of $415,793.00 is more than 1% below the Engineer’s estimate. There are sufficient funds in the budget to complete this project.

Options:
1. Award the construction contract to Specialized Pavement Marking, LLC, in the amount of $415,793.00, and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. The project proceeds as planned.
2. Reject all bids and direct staff to rebid the project. The time needed to rebid will delay construction until 2025. The cost may increase due to increased staff time to rebid the project. Staff would continue to maintain existing pavement markings.
3. Take other action.
