On July 19, 2023, the Eco-Counters at the Bookstore/Transit Plaza location were installed. This is the fifth location on-campus that has the counters. This counter was purchased and installed through the funding awarded by SSC.

Veo Cosmo-e pilot feedback form has ended. The preliminary results shows support to bring the Cosmo-e to the campus, and the pilot has been extended into the fall semester. We will review the comments in more detail over the next few weeks and publish the final report.

(31270-21) The part was installed, the part had the wrong software, the part was sent back to them, then they sent it back with the correct software and now it needs re-installed.

(31272-11) The truck and software is functioning

Thank you,

Hi Dan,

Column definitions and actions:

• NoGPS is the count of lift records missing GPS coordinates. Lifts without GPS can’t be assigned to a customer by location
• Loads is the count of lift records
• GPS is the count of truck location records, typically recorded every 20 to 30 seconds
• On/Off is the count of meter power on and power off messages
• Missed is a load that was weighed while lifted but the empty container wasn't weighed when set down because of the fork angle
• Neg is the count of lifts negative by more than 100 lbs. A high count indicates a calibration problem
• Status is a summary of what the counts mean.
  
  • Blank means no problems detected
  • No Loads means that no lifts were recorded.
  • No GPS means no GPS coordinates were recorded
  • Missing GPS means more than 10% of loads lacked GPS coordinates.
  • XX% negative loads is lifts/neg when the result is greater than 10%
  • No truck locations means that lifts have GPS coordinates but the truck isn’t recording location records
  • No GPS and no loads means the truck is connecting but not sending data

“No Loads” means that truck didn’t record any loads during the route.

For “No Loads” and “XX% negative loads”, call Richard at 206-898-7801 and have a bubble level to see if the problem can be fixed with calibration. Richard may diagnose a problem that could require your dealer to make a service call to fix it.

For “No GPS” or "Missing GPS", get in the cab of the truck and locate the GPS antenna (a black plastic magnet-backed square about an inch on a side and ½ an inch high) and ensure that it is plugged in and near the windshield so it is exposed to the sky and not covered up by something. You can also go into troubleshooting mode and go to TROUBLE GPS which will display the number of satellites that the meter can lock onto and the current lat/lon.

For "Missed", the gross weight of the lift is stored in the container weight and the load weight is zero. To "repair" the record, subtract the empty container weight from earlier lifts at that location and store the difference in the load weight.

There’s a separate table at the bottom of truck reports that indicates the last time the meter connected. If the truck is active and the meter should have connected but hasn’t sent any data, call me (John) at 425-235-4335 and I can help troubleshoot connection problems.

On August 8, 2023, the Bicycle Friendly University 2023 application was submitted. See attached the final application.

DIA and F&S have agreed to the following dates for tailgate recycling events:

• Saturday, September 23rd, versus Florida Atlantic
• Saturday, November 11th, versus Indiana University

On 08/07/2023, Sarthak and Hrushikesh had a monthly meeting with Jake.

Meeting Notes:

- Actively promoting Bike Registration to students or commuters visiting and using the Campus Bike Center.

- Campus Bike Center should have printer QR code sticker/ flyer for Bike Registration.

- Bike Friendly Application will be submitted on 08/08/2023.

- Light the Night Event near Ikenberry Hopkins Hall and ARC.

- Bike Lights including the screw fitting types will be used for the events.

-  Bike Safety Quiz is recommended to be promoted by the Campus Bike Center.

- Merchandise purchase order is placed.

- How to use Outdoor Pumps video can be made by the Campus Recreation marketing team.

To do for Sarthak:

- Find out Campus Bike Center Built-up area for UIC recommendation.

- Try to get the merchandise before August 20th for the Campus Bike Center events.    

All, These days feel like the calm before the storm. Starting to get phone calls and emails from families and folks looking for bikes as they plan to come to town. We’ll sell out of our supply of bikes before the semester begins, if past demand is any indication.  We’ll work on getting a few more B-a-Bs prepped and ready to go, as demand looks to increase in the absence of refurbished bikes.

I’ll be out of the office Wednesday – Friday this week. My staff will cover open hours on those days.

The numbers:

Sales: $572
Bikes (refurb): 2 for $345
Memberships: 2 for $60
Tires/tubes: 6 for $43

Thanks!

Campus Bike Center Coordinator

1. Overview of the tailgate parking map
   1. Planning to execute two tailgate recycling events this semester:
      1. An early game in September, using one roll-off dumpster in Lot 31.
      2. A later game in October or November, potentially expanding to a second roll-off dumpster in Lot 32 (E-14).
   2. All dumpsters will always be staffed by volunteers. A F&S Safety & Compliance tent will be used for the September game.
   3. All dumpsters used will have banners to identify recycling only, as well as yard signs to discourage them from becoming general trash sites.
   4. Dan noted that Lot 31, Lot 32, Lot 33, and Lot 49 are some of the busiest to keep in mind for the future.
2. Blue bags
   1. DIA parking lot supervisors will hand out blue bags.
   2. F&S will provide the blue bags, with information stapled to each.
   3. What will happen to all the bags left at lots where tailgaters did not drop them off at the roll-off dumpsters?
      1. Blue barrels line all the tailgating lots. They may end up heree.
      2. The F&S frontload truck on Sunday morning pick-up may grab them.
      3. The DIA flat-bed stake truck may pick them up.
      4. In any case, all blue bags will make their way to the south bay of the Waste Transfer Station.
3. Waste operation from Dan's perspective - Sunday morning
   1. 2 frontload trucks (holding 3yd dumpsters) will have two people walking in front, dumping blue barrels
   2. 1 roll-off truck, that goes to dump the 2 roll-offs at the corner of the horseshoe. Places a new empty roll-off on the east side of Memorial Stadium. Tippers inside Memorial Stadium drop off inside trash into the empty roll-off. This process moves to the west side of Memorial Stadium.
   3. Green recycle truck goes with a crew of two people who tip the blue barrels, just as the frontload does (the teams split all the work).
   4. DIA has a flat-bed stake truck used to pick up the blue barrels.
   5. DSC does not work on weekends, so all trash is put into the south bay, and dealt with on Monday morning (in addition to campus' usual trash on Monday). Because of this, not all of the recycling is going to get sorted out. It's too much to deal with at once. They do their best!
4. Grange Grove
   1. 20 Coca-Cola bins placed here, near entrances to Memorial Stadium. Can have volunteers here who are engaging with passers-by and encouraging them to recycle.
   2. Dan, Shawn, and Daphne will see the bins on Friday 8/11 when they are delivered and determine the best course to dumping them when they are full. Don't know how this will happen currently, as these bins are not tied to a truck type that F&S has. May consult the DIA for assistance.

Attached is a signed MOU for the Bruce Nesbitt African American Cultural Center.

Sarthak reached out to Paul Jensen to get an estimate for tables and chairs for our annual Bike to Work Day and Light the Night events. Last year in 2022, the cost for Light the Night event was around $360 (WO #10994257) and for Bike to Work Day, it was $640 (10994256). We are expecting the same amount of work and same number of locations.

Paul provided the following estimate:

Light the Night = $600.00

Bike to Work Day = $900.00
