Preventative Maintenance Costs & Billing

The Central Plant Preventative Maintenance department is state funded to maintain and operate campus facilities as originally constructed and will perform routine maintenance at their own expense. The Central Plant Preventative Maintenance team may provide work beyond the scope of routine maintenance at the expense of the requesting department and pending approval.

Campus Services bills monthly for services performed through Service Requests and for any work orders that are completed for services outside of routine maintance services.

NOTE: A Service Request form must be submitted for all work that is considered a billable service.
