Facilities Funded
Maintenance: The state provides limited funding for basic operation and maintenance of the University’s physical plant. These funded services include routine and preventive work required to keep buildings, utilities, equipment, and grounds in an acceptable and safe operating condition. Principal services funded by the state include: Maintenance of building ventilation, air conditioning, heating, electrical and lighting systems, plumbing, tile flooring, windows, doors and hardware, elevators, fire protection equipment, and alarm systems. Maintenance of landscaped grounds, irrigation systems, pathways, exterior lighting, and identification signage. Repair and maintenance of water, sewer, drainage, and gas utility systems. Repair to standard classroom furnishings (tablet seating, tables, side chairs, lecture stands).Customer Funded
Enhancements/Improvements: Alterations to space, including installation and fabrication of furnishings and equipment. Other discretionary activities beyond those required to keep buildings, utilities, equipment, and grounds in acceptable and safe operating condition and that, typically, enhance functionality or aesthetic appeal. Customer Funded Maintenance: Repair and preventive services are customer‐paid if the customer is an auxiliary operation, a self‐sustaining unit, and/or if the unit recharges for its services. Customers also must fund services that exceed the routine maintenance cycle or standard, or that are beyond the routine level funded by the state. Typical examples of these services include: Painting department controlled space. Interior maintenance painting will be accomplished only for the removal of graffiti or to repair walls of public spaces. Aesthetic painting of interior public spaces will be accomplished only when specific funds are identified from any residual balance in our maintenance budgets, funding from building renewal sources, or when requested and funded by departmental funds. Repairs to departmental furniture and equipment (e.g., freezers, ice machines, centrifuges, purification/filtering systems). Disposal of CRT monitors. Special Use Systems: The term “special use” applies to systems that (a) support a narrow scope of research or department programs, (b) are not typically utilized by all occupants of a building, (c) are not common to most campus buildings, and (d) are not considered part of basic infrastructure. Some examples of such special use equipment include: DI water lines, compressed air or gas lines, and cold rooms. Facilities & Property Management delivers basic maintenance to special use systems in keeping with its objective to advance the University’s teaching, research and public service mission. Time devoted to this unfunded service is typically limited to: (a) responding to the initial trouble‐call to perform basic diagnosis and consultation, and (b) performing basic operating adjustments. If the customer funds the preventative and maintenance needs of the special use system, Facilities & Property Management performs those services when possible.EXAMPLES OF SERVICES
