The Central Business District is only phase one of the program. For phase
two of the program to be effective, certain decisions must be made prior to the
implementation of phase one. Phase two is anticipated to take a fairly
extended period of time, but the ultimate goal of phase two is to locate
throughout the City of Beaumont in all parks, bus stops, public facilities,
parking lots, sidewalks along major thoroughfares and adjacent to major places
of employment, this same type of litter container. For this to be possible,
the viability of the sponsorship program must be established at the initiation
of phase one of the project.
The basic impetus for sponsorship of these litter containers will be public
interest, but there will also be a commercial interest for businesses,
entities, individuals --or organizations in that each of the litter containers
will carry two small placards. These will have the logo of BUILD and the CCC
together with a designation in a tasteful manner that this particular litter
container is "Sponsoree By 11. This wording of "Sponsored By" will
be located within the logo of BUILD and the CCC. Obviously, sponsorships
will be much more easily obtained in areas of busy pedestrian traffic and high
visibility. While no specific solicitation has yet been done, since that
would be premature at this time, there is a strong feeling among the members of
BUILD and CCC that a suitable commercial sponsor could possibly be found for
the entire Central Business District as one unit. However, the inclusion of
public areas such as Riverfront Park and the Julie Rogers/Library complex are
integral elements to this supposition.
CCC and BUILD INC therefore propose that the City implement a litter container
program for the City of Beaumont.
CCC and BUILD INC request the City to purchase the first 88 litter containers
[one truckload] at a price of $13,200, plus a shipping cost of about $264 and
installation hardware for a further $264. City staff to install all
containers in their approved locations, service them regularly and maintain
them as necessary.
t
CCC and BUILD INC also request the City to conduct an appropriate study, with
the assistance of these entities, to identify the best locations for the litter
containers along city streets, at bus stops, in city parks and around city
buildings. While final placement would obviously be the responsibility of
the City departments involved, our preliminary review indicates that about 66
litter containers would be needed for the Central Business District, with a
further 22 litter containers for the Riverfront Park and Julie Rogers/Library
areas of downtown.
CCC and BUILD INC undertake to make a good faith effort to sell two-year
sponsorships for all 88 litter containers at a projected $200 for each
container, and are optimistic that this could be accomplished by selling all
the sponsorships as one unit.
