From: ANDREW WINJE, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
TITLE
APPROVE A THREE-YEAR AGREEMENT WITH WGJ ENTERPRISES, INC., DBA PCI STRIPING,
TO PROVIDE CITYWIDE STREET STRIPING SERVICES FOR A TOTAL COST NOT TO EXCEED $700,000
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of the agreement with WGJ Enterprises, Inc., dba PCI Striping (PCI Striping), would provide Citywide street striping services for the next three years. The total not to exceed amount for the full three-year term is $700,000. Staff solicited proposals for this service through a competitive process and received proposals from three prospective vendors. PCI Striping offered the best value.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is responsible for maintaining pavement markings, street striping, and crosswalks throughout the City. The Department does not have the staff resources to perform the high volume of tasks required to properly maintain all of the City’s existing street striping. As such, the Public Works Department periodically retains an outside vendor to provide these services. The most recent multi-year contract with PCI Striping expired on May 2, 2025.
On November 4, 2025, the Financial Services Department, on behalf of the Public Works Department, solicited proposals for pavement markings, street striping, and crosswalk maintenance services. The City received three responses to RFP #2526-002, which are listed below according to price:
· PCI Striping: $2,025,636
· Toro Enterprises: $3,713,010
· Sterndahl Enterprises: $6,463,010
The pricing above represents the cost to implement all markings, striping, and crosswalks throughout the City in a single application. In evaluating the proposals, the following criteria were considered:
· Qualifications/Experience
· Resources
· References
· Cost
Staff believes the proposal submitted by PCI Striping offers the lowest cost as well as the most
H.8., File # 25-1665 Meeting Date: 1/20/2026
Staff believes the proposal submitted by PCI Striping offers the lowest cost as well as the most desirable combination of the qualities included in the evaluation criteria. The company has extensive experience in providing these services and has provided the City with high-quality, reliable striping services for the past three years.
The proposed three-year agreement is anticipated to cover 20 to 30 percent of the City’s striping inventory. The cost for striping services has increased significantly over the past few years as a result of new requirements that dictate that lane lines and crosswalks be applied using thermoplastic rather than paint. Thermoplastic is much more expensive to install, but has a significantly longer life span in comparison to paint. While painted striping needs to be re-applied approximately every five years, thermoplastic striping is projected to last roughly 10 years, which will reduce future costs and increase visibility and utility to individuals using the City’s roadways.
PCI’s proposed pricing for pavement markings that were already required to be done in thermoplastic remain unchanged from the prior agreement. These include “STOP” and speed limit markings on roadways. While their pricing for street striping and crosswalks has increased due to the move to thermoplastic, it is significantly lower than that of the other two vendors and has been determined to be competitive in the market.
COORDINATION
This item was coordinated by the Public Works and Financial Services Departments. The City Attorney’s Office approved the Agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for street striping services over the three-year term of the proposed Agreement would not exceed $700,000. Currently, $291,000 is in the budget for the Citywide Street Stripling Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Job No. 41180. It is anticipated that additional funding will be appropriated through the budget process for FY’s 2026-2027 and FY 2027-2028. Funding for this ongoing CIP is typically appropriated from State Gas Tax funds.
