Dear Jason:
The transit shelters (Tolar Models 35835-03/37884-00) and bench (37824-111) were designed and fabricated for the City of Carson in 2015/2016 by Tolar Manufacturin g Company, Inc were fabric ated based on designs th at are our intellectual property and contain many custom metal and gasket extrusions that are unique to us. This includes our muti-channel horizontal extrusion and hidden hinge kiosk extrusion. The shel ter also contains City of Santa Ana specific branding. The bench within the shelter and throughout the City contains Santa Ana specific branding.
In addition, the solar-powered illumination system was designed exclusively for the project in concert with the engineers at our vendor partner, Urban Solar Corporation. Based on the sh elters described above, our outside professional engineer performed the stamped and steeled structural calculations.
The project we recently quoted will be fabricated to the sa me specifications by our AWS welders and under the direction of our rigid quality control processes. This allows the City of Santa Ana staff or their assignee to deal with one kit of replacement parts, one type of solar power unit, and one method of repair.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this information.
Sincerely,
Patrick Merrick
Executive Vice-President
