AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET
DEPARTMENT: Procurement & Compliance
CFO: Antonio Puente, Jr.
DATE: July 21, 2020
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Stripe-A-Zone, Inc., for pavement marking services
for the City of Denton; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date
(RFP 7303 – awarded to Stripe-A-Zone, Inc. in the three (3) year not-to-exceed amount of $5,000,000).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton has a continuous need for pavement marking services for various transportation projects
within our existing infrastructure. Existing faded markings that have passed their effective lifecycle, roads
and paths that are lacking markings, and new markings will need to be addressed in order to maintain our
mission of facilitating safe bicycle, pedestrian, and vehicular travel within our City rights-of-way.
On average, markings last for three to five years, and at seven (7) years, markings become significantly
faded and lose their effectiveness. Given the amount of markings that make up Denton’s infrastructure, the
Traffic Department’s markings budget is funded at a 31-year replacement rate. To improve public safety,
the significant quantity of infrastructure that has faded due to prolonged underfunding must be addressed.
New road projects where street surfaces are replaced will also require markings installation. Estimates for
new and replacement marking projects including new building construction are projected to be
approximately $5 million over the next three (3) years.
Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to 64 prospective suppliers, including three (3) Denton firms. In
addition, specifications were placed on the Materials Management website for prospective suppliers to
download and advertised in the local newspaper. Three (3) proposals were received and evaluated based
upon published criteria including price, delivery, compliance with specifications, and probable
performance. Best and Final Offers (BAFO) were requested from the top firm. Based upon this evaluation,
Stripe-A-Zone, Inc. was ranked the highest and determined to be the best value for the City.
