He noted also that staff would recommend that the alternate chassis be accepted - the GM-Chevrolet model, primarily because it would take the vendor 30 days less to get that particular chassis. The machine, in any event, probably will not be delivered for approximate) 52 months. Mr. Amorose wondered about the comparison in cost to the City of doing it in-house as opposed to contracting it out. Mr. Johnson said that last year the County did approximately $10,000.00 worth of striping for the City; anything over that amount would have to be bid. It was also noted that scheduling the work became difficult; that perhaps the schedule called for striping in Dublin in 35° weather at 4:00 or 5:00 A.M. Mr. Johnson also noted that striping needs to be done twice, not once, a year on the more heavily traveled roadways such as Frantz Road, and having its own machine would allow the City to do so. . ~..,.,a..~._ mow.
