96. ONE-TIME TEMPORARY ADDITION TO FLEET OF PAINT STRIPER Approve a one-time, temporary addition to the fleet for the Transportation Department of redlined vehicle #45503, Paint Striper, for use as a backup vehicle to maintain production when the primary stripers are down for maintenance. Operations and maintenance are anticipated to be $5,000 and will be covered using MCDOT budgeted funds. This vehicle will be removed from service at the end of its useful life with no funding from the general fund for its replacement. Paint striping trucks have very specialized equipment mounted on a standard 2.5 ton truck. By their nature these pieces of equipment require frequent service, and are out of production approximately 25% of the time. These specialized trucks are not available for rental, resulting in reduced ability to meet production goals and critical maintenance requirements. The extra paint striping truck requested herein is an existing truck that we are requesting be kept in service to support our pavement marking operations. The current paint striper is within its replacement period and is not reliable enough for everyday use, but would work well as an interim backup piece of equipment. Maintenance cost for the paint striper will be absorbed within the department’s operating budget. Supervisor District: All (C-64-15-003-M-00)
