Three bids opened for Gardner City's 2026-038 line painting and pavement marking project

Gardner City opened bids on Tuesday, May 27 for project 2026-038, a contract for line painting and pavement marking, a city clerk said at the start of the recorded bid-opening. The clerk announced three firms and read the bid amounts aloud, then said the city will compile a bid tabulation and post it on the city website.

The clerk identified the bidders as Pro Finish Lines, Markings Incorporated and K5 Corporation. According to the clerk’s readout, Pro Finish Lines submitted certificates and a bid bond and a bid amount read in the transcript as "41,38560." The clerk said Markings Incorporated submitted certificates and bid bonds and read an amount as "46,5580." K5 Corporation's bid was read as "43,972." The transcript’s numeric formatting for the first two amounts is unclear; the clerk read the figures as recorded here and the exact cents and punctuation were not specified.

The clerk also noted two people were present in the office and one person was behind the camera controlling the recording. After reading the bids, the clerk said the city will prepare a bid tabulation for posting on the Gardner City website and then closed the bid opening for 2026-038.

No award, motion or vote was taken during the recorded session; the record shows only the public read-in of bids and the clerk's statement that results would be posted after tabulation. The year of the date given on the recording was not specified in the transcript; the clerk recorded the day and month as Tuesday, May 27.
