Proper completion of this request form will expedite action. All requests for project type work must be defined on a Customer Project Request and signed by an appropriate account manager, dean, or department head. Estimating Customer Project Requests Project work requirements submitted to Building Maintenance and Construction on a Customer Project Request are usually estimated, unless directed otherwise by the requesting department. Specifications will then be provided to meet building code and mechanical requirements before estimating. When extensive architect or engineering services are required, the requesting department will be advised and funds requested for outside engineering.
Work is estimated by appropriate shops on an at-cost basis.
The total charge to a requesting department is determined by actual price of labor, materials and equipment used to accomplish the work. Funding Approval A project estimate will be forwarded to the requesting department's chairperson for approval. Depending on the scope and urgency of the project, the department chairperson may elect to request funding support from the Space Committee. Project Accomplishment Approved projects for in-house shop accomplishment are entered into a program schedule cased upon a requesting department's priorities, labor hours, and material availability. Projects to be completed by contract will be sent out for bidding.
