DATE: June 15, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Brian Issa, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Approval of a Contract with GR Sundberg, Inc. for Minor Street Striping Maintenance and Repair Project; Resolution 2026-25
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2026-25 approving a Contract for Minor Street Striping Project with GR Sundberg, Inc.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of the Contract for Minor Street Striping Project (“Contract”) is to contract with a qualified contractor to provide routine minor striping for City streets, on an on-call basis, for an amount not to exceed $60,000 (sixty thousand dollars) for the one-year term of the Contract.
Section 2.50.070.D of the Fortuna Municipal Code provides that formal bidding is not required when the City Council finds that a negotiated contract best serves the City due to the nature of the contractual service. A standard public bidding process would not be appropriate for this Contract due to the on-call nature of the Contract and the importance of selecting a contractor who has the qualifications, equipment, crew, and availability to respond promptly to requests and to perform the work expeditiously, economically, effectively and safely.
Staff requested informal proposals from three qualified striping contractors and received three proposal responses. Staff have confirmed that the single proposing contractor, GR Sundberg, Inc, can meet the City’s needs for this project and is qualified to provide the on-call Striping services for the City based upon overall qualifications, unit pricing, equipment, and availability.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Contract is not to exceed $60,000 (sixty thousand dollars) during the one-year term unless authorized in writing. The actual cost will depend on how much work is required during the oneyear term. The actual cost could be less than the not-to-exceed amount depending on the need for services, or higher than the not-to-exceed amount if authorized due to the need for services. The City budget for Fiscal Year 2026-2027 has $500,000 (five hundred thousand dollars) in its Annual Paving Contract Project (fund 260) of which a portion of that total budget will be used toward this street striping contract as necessary.
RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 2026-25. Consent Agenda vote.
