How do units move as a phased site changes?
Units move in step with the phase. The old spot is cleared and the new spot is set before the crew moves in, and every move is scheduled with the site manager rather than improvised.
A move starts with the new phase's plan: how many units it needs, where its crew will walk and where the truck can reach. The old units are then emptied, cleaned and removed on the agreed visit, and the new ones are set on the new spot. A move that is done in the wrong order leaves a crew without a toilet on the new side of the site.
Keep a written record of each move, with the date, the units moved and the spot. The record is the easiest way to show that the count followed the work through the phases.
How is the count set on a site with shifts?
By the number of workers on site at one time in each phase, read against the OSHA table. Shifts can raise the count and the visit frequency.
The table counts workers on site, so the number on the largest shift is the figure that matters, not the total across the day. A site with two shifts that overlap at change time needs the count set for the overlap. The table is quoted as written, with its rows for 20 or fewer workers, 20 or more and 200 or more.
A unit that is usable at the start of a shift and empty at its end is the goal. The servicing visits are timed to the shift changes, so units are serviced between shifts and not in the middle of one.
What does a large site need from the ground?
Firm, level, drained ground in each phase, a route for the truck and a clear space for the servicing crew. Heavy equipment and mud change the ground quickly.
A large site is churned by machines and trucks, and the ground under a block of units can change in a single week. The units are set on pads where the ground is soft, and the crew checks each block after rain or a storm before servicing resumes.
Low ground near the water needs particular care. Hurricane Irma in September 2017 put water through downtown, San Marco and Riverside before dawn, so a phase on low ground in those areas needs its units secured or moved before a storm is named, not after.
What moves the price on a large project?
The number of phases, the units per phase, the moves between phases, the route, the length of the work and the servicing schedule. No figure is given, and the price is explained and approved before work starts.
The number of phases and the units in each one are the first drivers, because they set the total count. Each move between phases adds its own cost, since it means emptying, removing, setting and checking units again. A longer project and a tighter servicing schedule add to the total as well.
This site publishes no price and no range for any project. The provider sets out the count, the moves and the servicing schedule, explains what moves the quote, and gets your approval before any unit is delivered.
How do events near a large site get their restrooms?
Event counts are planned separately. The permit track depends on attendance, and the count includes workers, participants and spectators.
Events of fewer than 500 people on city ground can go through JaxParks or Traffic Engineering, depending on the event. Events of 500 or more need a Special Event Permit from the Office of Special Events, which must be applied for no less than 90 days before the event and no sooner than 365 days ahead. The restroom condition is confirmed with the office when the permit is reviewed.
The count for an event is separate from the count for the work. A stadium-size site can have a large work crew and a large event on one day, and the two counts are added together in the plan.
