BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The contract was awarded to Chrisp Company, of Stockton, in the amount of $54,232.19, on June 19, 2013. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. Extruded thermoplastic material has proven to be a superior product to sprayed thermoplastic. Although extruded thermoplastic costs approximately 12 percent more than sprayed thermoplastic, it is expected to last 67 percent longer (five years vs. three years). The locations are shown in Exhibit A. A recap of the types of lane line markings and quantities for this contract is shown below: LANE LINE TYPE MILES 4" Broken White 0.81 4" Broken Yellow 6.11 6" Broken White 0.93 Double 4" Yellow 5.63 4" Solid White 3.02 6" Solid White 5.90 8" Solid White 0.49 Continuous Left 3.69 Total Miles 26.58 The contract completion date was August 2, 2013. The final contract price was $54,891.05. The difference between the original contract amount and final contract amount is due to minor variances between the estimated quantities and the actual field -measured quantities. Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute. FISCAL IMPACT: This project will extend the useful life of the lane lines which will reduce overall maintenance costs. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This project was funded by Measure K (325035). F.
