BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) manages an annual pavement marking program, which includes installation services and materials. Pavement marking replacement is necessary to provide safe and positive guidance to motoring and pedestrian traffic. Each year, DPW inspects the City's roadway network, which consists of more than 1.3 million lineal feet of pavement markings and identifies street markings in need of replacement. The contract also includes latex paint pavement markings as needed. All necessary pavement surface preparation, including removal of existing lines, is completed under this contract.

This change order is requested because additional funds are needed to complete large-scale pavement marking projects such as Modaff, from 75th Street to 87th Street; Gartner, from Washington to Naper Blvd; and Aurora Avenue, from Ogden to West Street. Some of these projects were not initially scheduled to be completed in 2017, but the deteriorated condition of the markings along with complaints from residents have warranted having the work completed this year.
