BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Submitted for City Council consideration and action is an offer submitted by Vogel Traffic Services dba EZ Liner for the purchase of a paint truck in the amount of $370,708.10. The paint truck will be utilized by the Aviation Department to paint runway and taxiway markings at both San Antonio International Airport (SAIA) and Stinson Municipal Airport. The new paint truck will replace the existing 15-year-old paint truck which has reached the end of its useful life. The department has one paint truck and one palletized paint stripper utilized at both the SAIA and Stinson.
The paint truck is a specialized piece of equipment that helps maintain airfield compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration Part 139 Certification requirements. The truck will consist of a Peterbilt Model #220 cab/chassis and an EZ Liner Model # TS-AL500 base truck bed. The paint truck includes extra painting guns for improved efficiency in painting extra wide and extra-long markings (e.g., the runway centerlines are 36” wide), tandem paint pumps to allow multi-color painting and high pressure painting, high capacity flush tank to facilitate faster, easier flushing of the lines during color changes, FAA-required light bars and markings to increase visibility, a paint storage platform to allow additional paint to be carried on-board and loaded without having to return to base to obtain new supply, working lights for night time applications, back-up camera and extra ladders for safety, and aiming camera for driver accuracy in applying paint.
