Hi Calvin,
I apologize for the delay and hope you had a good holiday.
In reviewing this plan with my Operations Supervisor, we have a couple of questions for
you:
1. Are the two apartment units going to be under the same billing account as State
Farm, or will they be billed directly to the apartment residents or some other entity?
Two apartments will be billed with State Farm.
2. What is the maximum occupancy per fire code, and how many employees at most will
be working in this State Farm office? It looks like ~15 desks will be occupied at most,
correct? 15 would be the maximum of workers if agency gets to that point, typically it
will be between 3-6 employees.
3. I see there is a kitchen in the plan - do you want food scraps to be composted on-site?
That would be a separate fee from the garbage & recycling service fees but has
obvious environmental and social benefits. There is minimum real cooking at the
agency. No compost required. The owner will compost on-site and use in garden.
From the layout, we would establish cart service for this property. The janitorial staff or
someone at the office will need to roll the carts to the curb for collection. The number and
size of carts will depend on the volume generated by the office staff (for example, do they
get lunch catered, in large plastic packaging that has to be thrown in the garbage? How
much do they recycle vs. shred with a shredding company? Do they want to compost food
from lunches meetings, etc?). We can add or remove carts depending on State Farm’s
needs but we’ll try to get it right early on such that they don’t get charged delivery fees
later.
Thank you and Happy New Year,
Natalie Caulkins
