Purchase of Minor Construction, Building Repair and Renovation 

Section 6:10 Revised  01/01/2001

Almost all minor construction, building repair, and renovations are handled through the Facilities Management. Since the University requires that any physical changes to buildings be approved by the Director of Facilities Management, it is necessary that Facilities Management personnel perform the actual work or, if it has been contracted to commercial companies, supervise the work in progress. Requests for services in this category should be sent directly to the Facilities Management for an estimate of the cost and time involved for commencing and completing the work. Detailed specifications should accompany the request for the estimate. If it is determined that the department shall absorb costs involved, an estimate is made and returned to the department. If the department desires to proceed with the work after receiving the estimate, a Facilities Management-Work Request is-sent to the Facilities Management, along with the specifications. If the Facilities Management determines that the work is to be performed by an outside contractor, they will forward a Purchase Requisition to the Purchasing Department.
