Beaverton School District is the third-largest district in Oregon, with more than 50 campuses across Washington County. A district of that size cannot run striping as one-off campus bids each summer. The work has to land inside MUTCD compliance, current Oregon Building Code ADA pedestrian access standards, and a summer-break-only construction window that closes when staff training begins in late August. This page walks the district's facilities director and capital projects coordinator through what school district parking lot striping in Beaverton actually involves and what the work costs at industry baselines.
Why Beaverton District Striping Runs as a Multi-Campus Contract
Every K-12 campus has to satisfy MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) standards and current Oregon Building Code ADA pedestrian access requirements. With 50-plus campuses in Beaverton, the district handles compliance through a rotating audit cycle rather than fixing everything in one summer.
A multi-campus contract advantage: the contractor amortizes mobilization across many sites, the district gets consistent compliance documentation, and the bid review process is run once instead of for every campus individually.
The compliance line items that show up across nearly every Beaverton campus:
- MUTCD-compliant crosswalks, stop bars, and directional arrows at building approaches
- ADA accessible parking stall count proportional to total parking
- Accessible route from ADA stalls to the main building entrance, curb-cut compliant
- Fire-lane curb paint and stenciling per Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue
- Drop-off and pickup lane delineation that does not conflict with bus loading
Washington County and the Summer-Break Work Window
The practical work window runs from the Monday after the last school day in mid-June through the Friday before staff training week in late August. In Beaverton that gives about 8 to 10 weeks.
Inside that window:
- Crack-fill and sealcoat (where in scope)
- Restripe to current MUTCD and ADA standards
- Final cure complete before staff return
For summer 2026 execution, the RFP should be out by early March, bids back by mid-April, award by early May.
A district-scale specific: a multi-campus mobilization needs a written campus-by-campus calendar from the contractor with weather buffer days built in. Washington County summers are generally workable, but a single July week of unexpected rain can cascade across the project if the schedule has no slack.
Layout Standards Across Beaverton Campuses
A complete striping scope at each campus addresses:
- Staff parking with standard 9-foot stall widths
- ADA accessible stalls at current Oregon Building Code count, with at least one van-accessible
- Accessible routes from ADA stalls to the main entrance, curb-cut compliant
- Parent drop-off lane with directional arrows, no-stopping zones, student-loading marking
- Bus loading zone with no-parking restrictions and bus-only marking
- Crosswalks at all building approaches, MUTCD ladder or transverse pattern
- Fire lanes with red-curb paint and "FIRE LANE - NO PARKING" stenciling
- Reserved stalls (principal, visitor, staff)
- Speed bumps where applicable, yellow chevron warning marking

Industry Baseline Range for Beaverton District Striping
Industry Baseline Range
| Project type | Cost per square foot of striping work | Typical total |
|---|---|---|
| Single elementary campus | $0.05 to $0.18 | $1,500 to $7,000+ |
| Single middle or K-8 campus | $0.05 to $0.18 | $3,500 to $14,000+ |
| Single high school campus | $0.05 to $0.16 | $7,000 to $30,000+ |
| District multi-campus contract (15 to 25 campuses) | $0.05 to $0.16 | $75,000 to $500,000+ |
| Multi-year master contract | $0.05 to $0.15 | $150,000 to $1.2M+ |
Current Market Reality
Beaverton district striping prices vary by total linear feet of striping, stenciling count, whether sealcoat is bundled, and whether the scope triggers ADA curb-ramp installation or crosswalk reconstruction. Multi-year master contracts that lock pricing across two or three summer windows typically come in lower per square foot than year-by-year single-summer bids. For statewide cost context, see the Oregon asphalt paving cost guide.
Bond-Funded Capital Improvement Workflow
The decision path for a Beaverton district striping project:
- Facilities director identifies the project in the capital improvement plan 12 to 24 months out.
- Scope developed against MUTCD and ADA compliance gaps from the most recent facility audit.
- District capital projects coordinator issues an RFP through procurement.
- Three to five bids returned and evaluated.
- Contract awarded and construction scheduled inside the summer-break window.
- Campus-by-campus inspection and ADA verification before staff training week.
The full arc runs 4 to 8 months. For summer 2026 execution, the RFP should be out by early March.
What an On-Site Walk Catches at Each Campus
A walkthrough with the facilities team at each campus surfaces:
- Existing striping in poor condition requiring sandblast or grind-out before new paint
- ADA stall locations no longer matching current code, requiring relocation
- Crosswalks missing where current MUTCD spec requires them
- Speed bump and signage gaps
- Fire-lane curb paint condition
- Pavement condition flags requiring sealcoat or repair before striping
- Drainage paths shifted by recent stormwater work
Skipping the walk and bidding off a site plan is the most common reason a multi-campus contract goes 20 to 30 percent over its initial number.

Maintenance Cadence for Beaverton District Properties
A standing asphalt maintenance program keeps Beaverton campuses inspection-ready year over year:
- Crack-fill every spring after the wet season
- Full restripe every 2 to 3 years on a rotating campus schedule
- Sealcoat every 4 to 5 years on a rotating campus schedule
- Pre-school-year touch-up annually for high-wear zones
- Crosswalk and ADA marking inspection every fall
A single CCB-licensed contractor accountable for a multi-year master contract is meaningfully cheaper and more consistent than year-by-year single-campus bids.
Bid Evaluation Criteria the Facilities Director Should Watch
A clean bid review compares apples to apples. The scope document should specify striping paint type (latex traffic vs high-build acrylic), total linear feet of striping, stencil count by type (ADA symbol, fire lane text, stop bars, directional arrows), crosswalk count and pattern, and any included sealcoat or crack-fill volume. Bids that bundle these into a lump-sum number are harder to compare and harder to defend to the district capital projects coordinator. For a district as large as Beaverton, the itemized format also makes year-over-year cost comparisons meaningful.
