Hi Todd & Mark,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out & reconnect on the topic of the black, metal outdoor bins. I believe we have 18 identified locations approved by Brent Lewis ready to be installed as soon as the shops are able (locations attached) – these all require concrete poured. We then have  ~56 more stored primarily in the Buenting Barn that we have not yet identified locations for, but will very shortly. Some of them will require concrete and others will not. We have WO# 10814481 for this project.  Pete is hoping to have the whole process wrapped up by June 30, 2024. I just wanted to put this back up on the radar and get a sense of whether we will be able to get these all installed by summer?

I will be in contact soon regarding the locations of the remaining bins.

Thank you!
Daphne

Good morning Daphne,  Mark forwarded your email to me.  When you send the lists of locations out, please be sure to copy all that are on this email.

In response to your question below of completion by June 30 that is not possible.  Also, without knowing all of the locations it is difficult to give you an answer as to what the completion timeframe would be.  Below are the two scenarios depending on the proposed locations of the bins.

Installing the bins on existing concrete:

 1.   Ironworkers can go to the site with the bins/post with two guys and install the anchors and the bins in 2-3 crew hours (4-6 hours total with two guys).

Installing the bins on newly placed concrete:

 1.  This process will begin with the labor supervisor going to the site and marking the location.  1-2 hours
 2.  The utility marking crew would then be notified, and they have a 48 hour window to locate utilities.  1-2 hours
 3.  Laborers and operators go to the site and dig out the spot and place rock. 3-4 crew hours
 4.  Cement finishers form and pour the concrete and it needs to cure for at least 48 hours.  3-4 crew hours
 5.  Ironworkers can install the anchors and the bin once concrete has cured. 2-3 crew hours

Depending on how closely the locations are to each other they may prepare 2 or 3 at once and rotate through those with the different steps above.  However, that is not always possible.

I hope this helps to see how the two differ in time needed and to see how it really gets involved when the location requires new concrete.

Please let me know if you have any questions.



   Thank you,

Hi all,

I am sharing out 11 more locations which have been approved by Brent & Stacey. Please see attached, and please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I will continue to send out locations as I receive approval.

Thank you,
Daphne

Justin, 

You can have Burzin work on this when he comes in, if you like.

Thanks

Chad

Hi all,

We have completed all outdoor bin location proposals. With all the photos it is a large document, so I have placed it on a shared Box. Please let me know if any of these locations need further clarification.

Thank you,
Daphne

Daphne and Tim,

Once the additional bin locations are approved for installation let us know and we will get them added/updated in GIS.

Tim,

As your team completes installs let us know and we will collect “as-installed” location plus an image for GIS.

Daphne,

We’ve added the dual bins installed to date along with an image to GIS…(sample below)

Morgan White, Daphne Hulse, & Sinead Soltis met to review the completed outdoor bin survey, which maps out the bins currently installed on campus and can be found in an ArcGIS online format. Over the next two weeks, the sites with a proposed bin installation will be finalized to resume installation. A follow-up meeting will be held Wednesday, June 7th, to better understand what is needed to get work order started. As a note, about 40 bins have been installed out of the 74 ordered.

Update from Daphne Hulse 6/9/23: 43 dual bins were counted as installed on campus currently. A visit to storage showed that there are currently 80 dual bins still palletized (128 individual bins (64 pairs) located in PPSB shed and 32 individual bins (16 pairs) located outside near shed) and waiting for installation. According to the attached outdoor bin memo, 130 bins were originally purchased. We have 123 bins total accounted for (installed and palletized). 7 bins are unaccounted for. They may have been damaged/replaced.

Although the Illini Union Events Program has not achieved 80% sustainability in FY23, the project is on track to reach this metric by FY24 with the implementation of new bylaws.
