This includes our muti-channel <br />horizontal extrusion and hidden hinge kiosk extrusion. The shelter also contains City of Santa Ana specific branding. The <br />bench within the shelter and throughout the City contains Santa Ana specific branding. <br /> <br />In addition, the solar-powered illumination system was designed exclusively for the project in concert with the engineers at <br />our vendor partner, Urban Solar Corporation. Based on the shelters described above, our outside professional engineer <br />performed the stamped and steeled structural calculations. <br /> <br />The project we recently quoted will be fabricated to the same specifications by our AWS welders and under the direction <br />of our rigid quality control processes. This allows the City of Santa Ana staff or their assignee to deal with one kit of <br />replacement parts, one type of solar power unit, and one method of repair. <br /> <br />Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this information. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Patrick Merrick <br />Executive Vice-President <br />Patrick <br />Merrick <br />Digitally signed by <br />Patrick Merrick <br />Date: 2025.04.07 <br />13:05:40 -07'00' <br />  <br />  <br />City Council 17 – 7 5/20/2025
