WORK ORDER REQUESTS 

On-line Campus Work Request
To send a work request on-line.

These are requests from students, staff, or faculty requesting minor maintenance or repair. Work order requests may involve such things as problems with plumbing, light replacement, locks, controllable heating and cooling equipment. Work begins on your request as soon as possible after it is received. These minor problems are normally resolved within two or three days after receiving them, and almost never exceed five days. Emergencies are handled immediately. We define an emergency as a situation in which human life is at high risk or serious injury is likely , or when significant damage or destruction of property and/or building is probable. Once work has started on a work order request, it is usually completed within two hours with existing shop materials. Emergency work Requests can be telephoned into the work receptionist at extension 4274

  MINOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Minor Construction Request may involve estimating, planning, ordering of material, scheduling, and monitoring the progress and quality of the work. Because we do not have the resources to respond to all requests as they are received, they are prioritized by the Physical Plant Department and scheduled accordingly. Your budget manager should be able to assist you with the details of preparing a Minor Construction Request.

  FEES  

The cost of routine maintenance and repair of grounds, buildings, built-in equipment, and utility systems is borne by the Physical Plant Department. Remodeling , renovations or constructions of offices requested by various academic and business departments will be charged for the materials to perform the project. Furniture is expected to be procured by the requesting department to fulfill their individual needs. If commercial products are not available, then a construction project for the special furniture can be approved, scheduled and initiated. The requesting department will be only charged for the cost of the materials, labor costs will not be charged back to the department.

When department funding is involved, the Physical Plant will provide an estimate of the cost of material prior to beginning the work. If the estimate is accepted, the work will be scheduled and material obtained. When the work has been completed, the requesting department is charged the actual cost of the material, not the estimated cost.

This system of charging the various academic department for the materials for special projects makes it possible for the Physical Plant Department to develop and control it budget.
