The Seat Management Workgroup received 13 comments from six sources. The following is a summary of the remaining comments.
Most warehouses have no climate control equipment for storing sensitive equipment.
Either renovations need to be made to make the warehouse suitable for storage, or surplus equipment is subjected to extreme temperatures and humidity levels, resulting in damage to its components. Some agencies have no warehouse for storage. They may use conference rooms and office space. When equipment is stacked up in hallways and aisles, or under desks, employees are subjected to safety, health, and fire hazards, as well as a lack of morale from the messy work environment. When the agency runs out of space for its employees, they may lease space in other buildings or they may lease storage units or trailers for their surplus PC desktops.
