Services are divided into two basic types:
FM-FUNDED SERVICES
FM Funded Services are those for which Facilities Management receives budget allocations. Basically,
these are services directly related to the operation, maintenance, and upkeep of Health Science Center
facilities. They are rendered free of charge. Examples of FM Funded Services include:
- Maintenance and repair services to buildings and building systems, elevators, heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical distribution systems, roofs, etc. These
services are generally performed on structures, additions, and equipment which, if vacated by
present occupants, would require no alterations, special furnishing or remodeling for occupancy by
some other HSC department.
- Maintenance of walks, streets, and grounds
- Pest control
- Custodial services except in areas particular to departments or activities classified as auxiliary
enterprises. Auxiliary enterprises are generally known as activities not funded by legislative
appropriation.
DEPARTMENT-FUNDED SERVICES
Department Funded Services are those services for which Facilities Management does not receive a budget
allocation and which must be funded by the requesting department. Examples of this type of
service include:
- Minor alterations or renovations to buildings or structures assigned to departments and University
activities.
- Addition of special equipment such as laboratory equipment, mini blinds, special lighting, bulletin
boards, etc..
- Painting
- State-owned vehicle repair services for vehicles assigned to the department
- Movement of furnishings and equipment
- Set up of furniture and equipment for special events and occasions
Facilities Management charges for labor and materials for Department Funded Services. This includes
labor shop rates, utilized materials, contractors, design services and other direct costs associated
with accomplishing the work in accordance with all applicable codes and University policies.
