These aze black epoxy bicycle racks of the same type and from the same company, as the one recently installed by the County in front of the Kennedy Building. The total cost to us for the two units will be $899 including sales tax. Please note that the exact type bicycle racks aze used extensively on every street in Downtown Honolulu. The Hilo Downtown Improvement Association feels this type of bike rack is an ideal fit with the County's approved Downtown Hilo Redevelopment Plan. Installation requirements aze mutimal, needing only four 3!8" anchors installed on a concrete sidewalk. Installations in Honolulu on the sidewalks are 18 inches from the curb face. We would like you to consider placing one unit placed on the sidewalk fronting 190 Keawe Street, adjacent to the recently County deleted pazking stall and it's obsolete pazking meter sentinel. For the second unit being donated, I would like to see it placed in the vicinity of the Hata and Abundant Life buildings. You may have noted the heavy use of trees, sign posts, newsstands and meter posts for bicycle pazking in that azea. It is hoped the County will accept this donation and will give me an eazly approval indication, so I may proceed with the order. I have enclosed pertinent details regazding my costs and the Bike Bike Rack product. Thank you for your consideration of the opportunity to add to Downtown Hib's pazking inventory.
