Power and Ventilation for Shipping Containers for Bike Storage

Project Description

With the "Shipping containers for Bike Storage" project from Spring 2024, we have purchased and installed seven 8' x 40' shipping containers on campus. This project will fund the addition of lighting, a ventilation fan, and power to the shipping containers. We are planning to add a 100-amp panel by the containers. Each container will have (3) LED light fixtures, an exhaust fan, switch for the fixtures, a receptacle for power and power for an exhaust fan. We have received a quote from the F&S Electrical shop for running power through to the containers, LED light fixtures, switch for the fixtures, and we estimate it will be nearly $60,500 to add ventilation fans as well. Staff, including student staff/interns, at Parking, F&S and Campus Bike Center will be working at the shipping containers over the summer to transport the collected bicycles, inventory, and return them to the students. The power and ventilation system will greatly benefit all staff and students contributing to the abandoned bicycles as well as seasonal storage project.

This proposal directly funds:
1. Exhaust Fan and Installation Fees
2. Installation Fees for 100-Amp Panel and LED Light Fixtures
3. 10% Contingency
