How many units, and how many are ADA?
9
Standard units
1
ADA accessible units
3
Hand-wash stations
Sized against standard event ratios, with alcohol raising usage. Restroom suites and shower trailers change the math: we plan those with you.
What size genset carries the site?
179 kW
Connected load, plus 25% headroom
200 kW
Recommended genset
A planning figure, not a design. Motor starting loads, redundancy and distribution runs change the answer; our power team sizes the final package and stages a backup unit where the show cannot go dark.
How much cooling and heat does the structure need?
27 tons
Cooling required
160k BTU
Heating required
Tents lose and gain heat far faster than buildings. Figures assume sidewalls closed and Arizona summer or winter design conditions; we confirm against the structure and the forecast.
Municipal special event licenses and permits.
Every Arizona municipality runs its own special event process, and most require several approvals in parallel. Pride Group files these as part of pre-event planning: see Permitting for the City of Phoenix AFP process in detail.
