Request Priority Guidelines
The purpose of the service Requests Priority Guidelines is to:
- Provide a system to prioritize the use of limited staff and financial resources.
- Provide equitable treatment to all customers.
- Allow the orderly, timely and efficient accomplishment of facilities work.
When work is received it is assigned
to one of five priority levels. Within each priority level
work is assigned primarily on a first-in, first-out basis, subject
to efficient coordination of work and availability of material. As
requests are received, they will be scheduled according to the
following priorities:
Emergency
Emergencies will be corrected immediately. Examples are failure in electrical power, a
break in the water line, lock failure, personal safety, etc.
Emergencies should be called in to the Maintenance Service Center
at 387-8514 or DPS after hours at 387-5555.
Same Day Service
This refers to failures that impair but do not render inoperative and will normally be
accomplished within 24 hours. Examples are malfunctioning
temperature controls, stopped drains,etc.
10 Day Service
This service is considered
a higher priority routine work. All routine work is scheduled
depending on the availability of the trades persons and materials
involved. Our objective is to complete the request in 10 working
days.
30 Day Service
This service is considered
a lower priority routine work. Labor and material availability
place work in this category. Our objective is to complete the
request in 30 working days.
Deferred Work
While every attempt is
made to accomplish all work in a timely manner, there are times
when maintenance must be deferred. The requesting department
or individual will be notified of the reasons for the delay.
The understanding of the occupants affected in these cases is
greatly appreciated.
