Takaba PHONE: 961-8341 A. REQUEST: DPW-Traffic Division is requesting a resolution authorizing the payment of funds, in a later year and for more than one fiscal year, for a multi-year lease to purchase a Waterblasting Eradication Equipment. The lease to purchase would be for a term of no more than five (5) years. B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): The DPW Traffic Division is requesting the lease of a Waterblasting Eradicator Truck for the purpose of performing necessary eradication of existing road markings to accommodate traffic pattern changes request per DPW Traffic Safety section. The current means of hand pushed equipment for eradications causes dust which has been negatively affecting personnel and local residents. In addition, the pavement gouging that occurs when using existing equipment has a lasting detrimental effect on the pavement and night time visibility for drivers, especially with raining conditions. Since the County has elected to install concrete pavement on new road construction and in locations where no primer or insufficient primer was installed prior to striping the concrete roadways, the thermoplastic striping has been deteriorating. Under current conditions with existing equipment, we are frequently unable to effectively eradicate inappropriate or faded markings to an acceptable level to meet the Federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devises (MUTCD), specifically MUTCD Section 3A.02 Standardization of Application and MUTCD Section 6F.77 Pavement markings. The anticipated cost of equipment is approximately $321,000.00 with interest over a five year lease to purchase term. Estimated lease cost is $5,600.00 per month or $67,200 annually to begin upon estimated delivery date of March 2018. This purchase will be funded by the Highway Fund.
