To install them, you need labour as well. Assuming a a $40/hr wage (could arguably be higher, depending on source), and a team of 8 people doing this, that’s $640 a day. Two isolate the area and get keep the area clean, two drill holes in pavement so the poles can get in there, two transport the materials, and two assemble.
So, assuming 4 boxes a day, that’s about $5640. Let’s assume $5500 here per day. In total, that’s $2,750,000 for 500 lockers.
But we’ll also need permits. The build plan needs to be assessed for transparency, environment, construction drawings, and the impact for the neighbourhood. It’s complicated but let’s say $500 per balcony-like area.
So, let’s add another $250,000 - so, it’s $3,000,000, or $6,000 per locker.
I doubt it’d cost $50,000, but then again, I’m not knowledgeable in this field.
alternate pitch: shipping containers can cost as little as 2000 including delivery. pay a psychopath with a with a welder ten grand to put some partitions and doors in the thing with scrap metal from the city dump. then spend the remaining 38k on handjobs for the building inspector!
Doubt it’s that expensive. A locker can be made for like $500. But then you’re thinking of sheds with a simple lock. If you want something actually safe, you’d need a bike garage, and those can go up to like $4k a piece., or $5k if we’re counting cargo bikes.
