Discussion of Contracting paint striping vs purchasing a paint striper Contractor's do not paint crosswalks; the city does have a crossllJalk striper, but crosswalks take relatively more time than streets. A striper crew consists of 3 men. Mr. Rhodes said that he felt the city should have a paint striper, as the city would save money. Gouncilman Howard reported on his findings. Lakewoad put down 8000 gallons of paint on their streets in 1976. It was contracted out, the contractor LJOrked 60 days. During that time the Main streets were painted three times, the Primary streets, 2 times and the secondary ones once. The contract price l,las ,~10.00 peT gallon, including beads. This did n'Jt include any crossllJalk striping, d~cals. numbers, letters, etc. He had cfJnt8cted Q contractrJr l>!ho does thls rviinutes 3/14/77 - 2 - kind of l.JOrk. They estimated that LJheat Ridge uJould uses the service 10 to 12 days per year to get the same basic coverag~ they are pro- viding for Lakewood. He believes that [,J6 should uJri te specifications and contract the striping out except for the crosswalks. He then questioned the 111 days of paint striping reported, since that aDQunts to 22 weeks. Mr. Hobbs said that the number was taken fro~ the lags [if Public Works an this progra',l, houJever these may not be all 8 hour days. The new unit would cut approximately 25-30% off the time used now. The streets that are striped are 26th, 32nd, 38th, 44th, Kipling, LJadsw'1rth, Pierce, Harlan and Youngfield for a total of about 26 rliles. Councilman Cavarra asked about maintenance. tir. Hobbs said that maintenance had not been figured in, but there was not much maintenance invCJlved, r'Jnly cleaning. The 111 days included striping cross llJ8lks which take 4 times as long as street striping. The 3 men on the creu IJQuld all be able to use this truck, n'1 other needed. The last paint purchased was quick-dry at ';;2.79 Jler gallon, beads uJ8re .,,2.75 per 100 p'ouna~ using 7 pounds of beads per gallon. ~btion by Councilman Turner "I mve that we not purchase a Paint Striper and that we c'1ntract out painting this yealf ll!hich hJill give us a better basis for comparison next year." Motion was seconded by Councilman Howard and passed 5-1, Councilman Donaldson voting Nay. Item 8.
