Each year the Street Division of Public Works makes numerous purchases of signs
and pavement marking materials for use in the repair, maintenance, and
replacement of traffic control signs and pavement markings. Last year we solicited
sealed bids for the most commonly used parts and supplies and awarded the
agreements to Pathmark Traffic Product and Vulcan. That bid provided the option
for 2 1-year renewals. There was no price increase from Pathmark Traffic Products
of Texas and a 3.5% increase on 4 of the 180 items awarded to Vulcan, Inc.

The FY 2012 operating budget of the Street Division has $417,000 available for
street maintenance materials. The prices shown on the bid tab are based on
estimatedquantities for the purpose of comparing unit pricing and do represent the
actual amount to be spent during the contract term.
