### Flat-top lockers in public facilities collect dust, debris, and unauthorized stored items. Sloped tops shed both, but they add cost and must be ordered with the lockers — they cannot be added later. Specify them where the Owner's program requires them. {note}
+### Whether locker tops are sloped or flat shall be specified at the time of order, since sloped tops cannot be added after fabrication.

#### Custom HDPE colors can add 8 to 12 weeks to the manufacturing lead time. Identify any non-stock color selection early and flag it in the procurement schedule so it does not delay the project. {note}
