SUBMITTED BY: Chris Morris, Acting Public Works Director SUBJECT: Award of a Maintenance Contract to Chrisp Company for the 2026 Restriping Contract RECOMMENDATION ACTION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a maintenance contract with Chrisp Company in the amount of $340,887.65 for the 2026 Restriping Contract and authorizing an additional expenditure of up to $34,088.77 for a 10% contingency on said maintenance contract, for a total not to exceed contract amount of $374,976.42.
BACKGROUND:
The City maintains pavement striping throughout areas of the City on a rotating basis. The most recent restriping work was completed in Victoria by the Bay in 2021 and the Promenade and Birds and Gems neighborhoods in 2022. The Redwood and Lupine Road neighborhoods are next in the planned maintenance rotation. Portions of Hercules by the Bay neighborhood were excluded from the current restriping program since it is scheduled for pavement rehabilitation in fiscal year (FY) 2029-2030, however select areas will be addressed. Additional restriping was added to this package based on requests received in Hercules Connect and other identified priorities. Remaining areas to be restriped include portions of upper Refugio Valley Rd. and Coronado neighborhoods (to be completed by 2027) and the Foxboro, Bayside, and Victoria East neighborhoods (to be completed by 2028). A map summarizing the general areas for restriping and approximate schedule for completing the work can be found in Attachment 2.
The 2026 Restriping Contract RFP was posted to the BPX Planroom, on the City’s website, and in 5 regional plan rooms on April 2, 2026. A total of 3 proposals were received at the proposal submittal deadline of 5 pm on Thursday, April 30, 2026. Upon opening and reviewing the 3 proposals received, Chrisp Company was selected for this work on the basis of best value. Chrisp Company is based in Fremont and has 47 years of pavement striping experience.
