Report Title: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a blanket purchase order with Ennis-Flint Inc, for traffic striping and pavement marking materials.
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a blanket purchase order with Ennis-Flint Inc, in an amount not to exceed $750,000, for traffic striping and pavement marking materials, for the period of November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2028, Countywide.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Local Road Funds
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Public Works Department maintains over 650 miles of roads, 79 miles of creeks and channels, and 29 detention basins and dams throughout Contra Costa County.
On September 5, 2025, the County issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) IFB-Contr-0000000021 to solicit for vendors to supply traffic striping and pavement marking materials. Four vendors responded: Allstates Coatings Company, Ennis-Flint Inc., International Coatings Company Inc., and Svevia USA Inc. Each vendor provided their lowest prices and Ennis-Flint Inc. submitted the lowest overall prices. Ennis-Flint Inc. was determined to be responsive and responsible, so they were selected to supply traffic striping and pavement marking materials.
This blanket purchase order will be used to procure traffic striping and pavement marking materials for striping road center lines, fog lines, stop sign limit lines, crosswalks, and other road markings.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve the blanket purchase order will prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road maintenance in a timely manner.
