Jon lbarra, Superintendent of Streets
I’m here, Mayor. | am happy to answer any questions.
Mayor Donchess
Can you just give us a brief explanation?
Mr. Ibarra
Sure, so this is the pavement marking Citywide which would include thermoplastic, so arrows, turn signal or
turn only, stop bars, painted cross walks throughout the City and our long line program as well. Our pricing was
going to increase this year, is what forced us to go out to bid. Highway Safety was the lone bidder on the
project and as luck would have it, they have been doing the City striping for the past several years. So we are
going to award this to Highway Safety again. They are familiar with the City and know the work. Any
questions?
Mayor Donchess
Alderwoman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, Mr. Mayor. And John | don’t know if you have the documents in front of you but when | was looking
through the documents, the contract for independent contractor and | went to Page 2 of it, called AG 2 of 3.
There’s Item 4 where it talks about compensation of the independent contractor agrees to perform the work for
a total cost not to exceed the $248,570.00. But then underneath it, for some reason in parenthesis it says,
$247,720.00. | don’t know if that would be for Mr. Ibarra or Mr. Griffin. But | do see that the contract is for the
$248,570.00. But! was just a little confused on that where it talks about it. Was that just a typo or....?
Mayor Donchess
Mr. Ibarra do you ...
Alderman Klee
Or Mr. Griffin?
Mayor Donchess
Do either of you follow that question and can answer it?
John Griffin, CFO
Let me check into it, Mayor. It’s probably a typo.
Mayor Donchess
Yeah, | think it’s a typo.
Alderman Klee
Yeah, | just wanted to make sure that the contract was for the $248,000.
