Priority 2 - Do-It-Now (DIN) - Within 72 hour Response
A "Do-It-Now" is a situation that if not addressed will have a long-term detrimental effect on life, safety or property. In addition, a "DIN" is a need that shall be addressed within three (3) working days after Service Request was received by Facilities Operations Center, when proper advance notice or planning was impossible. A Scheduled Event is not considered a DIN.
Examples of DINs include:
- Flickering Lights
- Toilets or urinals not operating properly
- Hot or cold calls
- Accessibility issues related to maintenance
Priority 3 - Scheduled Events
Scheduled event requests must be received a minimum of ten working days prior to the event. For more complex events, or if an estimate is needed, the request must be submitted at least 20 working days prior to the event.
Examples include:
- Concerts and theatre events
- Special meetings, conferences and programs
- Dinners and luncheons
Priority 4 - Routine Requests
All other requests fall into the category of a routine service request. "Routine Requests" are generally placed in a queue and addressed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Response timing is contingent upon level of current backlog. Examples of routine service requests include:
- Routine plumbing or electrical work (dripping faucets)
- Special cleaning requests
- Minor renovations
- Lost file cabinet keys (must provide key number on lock)
Diagrams and any additional information you would like to include can be attached
