The document outlines the Minimal Acceptable Standards for a cart corral, a structure intended to provide a designated area for recovering shopping carts from parking lots, thereby protecting parked vehicles from damage. The standards specify dimensions for fitting within one or two parking spaces and define several models based on features such as capacity, design (single, bi-directional, or covered), and construction materials, including galvanized cart rails and bumper guards. Key requirements include a one-year warranty on materials and service, ease of assembly, and a necessity for continued parts support for five years after the equipment's lifecycle. Contractors must deliver comprehensive installation instructions and details about service contacts. This set of standards reflects the government's aim to create efficient facilities for managing shopping carts, enhancing safety, and ensuring compliance with operational requirements across federal, state, and local guidelines.
