INTRODUCTION
Dubuque
All -America City
2007-2012.2013
2017*2019
The attached resolution authorizes the award of the public improvement construction
contract for the 2025 Pavement Marking Project.
BACKGROUND
The annual pavement marking program is an essential component to our transportation
system. Well-defined pavement lane lines, symbols, and crosswalk stripping provides
safety to drivers and pedestrians on the public road system.
As part of a cooperative Maintenance Agreement with the Iowa Department of
Transportation (Iowa DOT), the City will include portions of Iowa DOT jurisdictional
pavement markings with the City's annual pavement marking program. The
Maintenance Agreement includes all symbols and legends and a portion of center lines
on Iowa DOT routes within the City. The Iowa DOT will reimburse the City for their
share of project costs after the project is completed and accepted.
The City contracts annually for a city-wide pavement marking project to furnish, install,
maintain, and remove permanent pavement markings to include pavement lane lines,
symbols, legends, and crosswalk stripping on City streets, intersections and portions of
Iowa DOT highway routes within the City as directed by the Engineering Department.
DISCUSSION
The Pavement Marking Project is completed annually due to a more rapid deterioration
on higher volume, high vehicular movement roadways. Pavement markings are applied
using waterborne paint with a service life of approximately two (2) years.
As part of the 2025 Pavement Marking Project, the City will continue to paint the
pavement markings for a downtown Bike Lane Pilot project. Some City owned parking
lots were added to the bid as well.
