City Council Report 
 
Date: 
February 23, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Use of a Cooperative Contract for the Purchase of One Paint Striping Truck 
(Addition) for the Fleet Services and Transportation Departments (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the award as recommended.  
 
The Fleet Services and Transportation Departments and Procurement Services 
recommend authorizing the purchase using the Sourcewell cooperative contract with MB 
Companies, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $293,942, based on estimated requirements.   
 
Background / Discussion 
 
The Transportation Department requires an additional paint striping truck to meet the 
increasing workload demands and ensure operational continuity. Having a second unit 
provides the necessary spare ratio, allowing work to continue uninterrupted when one truck 
is undergoing maintenance. For more than 25 years, the Transportation Department has 
been responsible for painting City roadways, parking lots, and recreational paths. The paint 
striping truck is a specialized vehicle designed to apply consistent, durable lane markings 
on City streets, pathways, and parking areas. 
 
Transportation evaluated three paint striping trucks and determined that the MB 
Companies, Inc. model is the most effective and user-friendly option based on its structure 
and ability to paint tight angles, radius and narrow roads. Additionally, it has free lifetime 
training included in the contract after initial training.  
 
The Sourcewell cooperative contract has been competitively bid and meets the City’s 
procurement requirements. Utilizing the Sourcewell contract allows the City to receive 
competitive rates based on a formally solicited agreement. The City believes the pricing is 
fair and reasonable and soliciting for this product would not result in the City receiving more 
favorable pricing or terms.
