Pricing for this purchase is through a cooperative Sourcewell Contract (No. 080521).

| | | | | | | | Background:
The Street Maintenance Division is replacing the paint striping truck. The existing unit, asset 2781, is a 1996 GMC with a chassis mount paint striper unit. The new unit will be a palletized body that can be loaded onto a flat bad truck and mounted for the season, then removed and stored so that the truck can be utilized for other purposes. Our existing fleet truck 4591 (2021 International) will be utilized for this purpose.
The GMC truck needs numerous repairs & engine components are not readily available. The current paint system on the truck needs an overhaul as well. It has had very little usage the past several years due to these reasons. It has been recommended for replacement for the past several years.
This is being purchased from the Sourcewell contract #080521-EZL. EZ Liner is a premier source for paint striping equipment & is based out of Iowa. This places them relatively close for any warranty, training, or support issues as well.
Contracting this service had been looked at but it was not economically feasible for the city. This purchase needs to proceed now, especially since we the have the truck capacity to utilize this unit.
