PortaJohns

[woodrufj]

I had a few people ask me about the extra johns we ordered. With Qualcom's cutback of the supplied Johns, I highly recommend clubs get at least two of their own. Diamond Environmental Services was a low bidder, their units and service were perfect. We used the cheapest units and got a Sunday morning flush. Just a little over $100/unit for the weekend. The quote and contact info is below, maybe if enough people mention "we used you at the last race" they'll be inclined to give us a discount in the future.

Good job, it's the little details that make a difference:) And 1 is def. not enough. Two seems a good choice.

I think the Solo II committee should just contract with the Diamond Environmental Services for the remaider events, at lease until the football season or until the stadium change their policy on portable toilets. I believe Jim H had use DES for two National Tours because they are the low bidder. Their service is great too. If they know we'll be using them for all our events then we may get a better price.

I know it's one more thing Michael C have to do but once it's setup it should only take a phone call or an email to confirm the next event date. They'll bill the Committee and Michael C will just pass the expense to the club via the event invoice.

The event chair usually already have a hundred things to do before the event. This way he don't have to get a bunch of guotes or worse, forget to do it. We'll all have to share one unit for two days. :eek:

Cal Club's treasurer handles this, primarily because of the difference in how event finances are handled. Typically 2-3 are ordered per event.

If you guys are going to get your own porta-johns do yourself a favor and make sure you have a handicap accessible one. There a groups that look for events/business that do not have those and they file a suit, easy money. This happened to one of Jennifer's clients. They are also part of the contract to host a tour/pro now.
It is also just the right thing to do. I have been to an event where they did not have one and a wheel chair bound driver had to slide across the floor of a nasty standard one to use it. :(

I understand the concern about the handicap access. The stadium does have a few of those on site already...not sure if we need to have another one delivered to the paddock.

We pay the Committee $1 per entry for the equipment fund each event.
I believe that once the new trailer is paid for, there will still be in excess of $15,000 in this fund.
I suggest that we have the committee rent two for each event until football season starts.
All it takes is three club votes.

Yeah, but they've been very inconsistent in the last few months on how many total, where they are and about upkeep. It makes a lot more sense for us to take the responsibility to have what we should have rather than leave it up to the city.
