MAINTENANCE REQUEST


 

4.    Procedure #2: Requests for Facilities Maintenance, Planning & Construction Services

4.1 Purpose: To discuss the procedure for reporting maintenance requests to the Division of Facilities Management, and the prioritization and scheduling of requests

    4.2 Routine Requests: Each department requesting service has a designated Building Manager who has the responsibility to report emergency maintenance problems for the entire facility. The Building Manager may designate a staff individual to perform the day to day tasks associated with this position while still maintaining overall responsibility for the facility. All emergency requests for service should be routed through this individual. This provides someone with whom the Facilities Management team can coordinate to accomplish work in an expeditious manner. Building Managers are urged to make emergency requests for services by filling out an on-line work request from the FSU FM web-site and follow with a phone call to the Facilities Management Control Center at extension 1432.  .
