New OMRS Contract

• Completion of the repairs will be made within a 24 hour period (excluding waiting for parts). If repairs exceed 48 hours, a loaner will be provided free of charge.

• Hourly rate for equipment not on contract

Tent & Canopy Structures

• • • Facility Services will need to provide a Campus Building Permit to any department who wants to erect a temporary awning, canopy, and/or tent structure.

Why? Fire Code requires a Use Permit when “area in excess of 200 square feet and canopies in excess of 400 square feet” are being used by the structure.

CSU Campus (by Code), the State Fire Marshal (SFM is the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and must approve and issue a Use Permit to erect and occupy such structures.

Tent & Canopy Structures

• • In the past, Facilities only issued Campus Building Permits on large and/or special areas of campus. However due to recent events, they will be issuing permits for the majority of awning, canopy, and/or tent structures.

Contact Spencer Meyer at x67227 for help with the process.

New P-Card Contractor

• • • GE Corporate Payment Services awarded the bid.

Collaborative effort between the CSU, University of Oklahoma & Bucknell University.

By combining these 3 entities, the total contract spend allows for a greater rebates to the CSU.

P-Card Timeline

• Timeline for implementation • Currently working with GE Capital to transfer over existing information (statement addresses, chart of accounts, etc.) • July will be a test month for a small group of cardholders. • If everything runs smoothly through one billing cycle, program will be rolled out to rest of campus for August billing cycle.

Concerns for Cardholders

• How does this affect cardholders?

• Until new cards are issued it is business as usual. Current contract with JP Morgan is valid until 8/30/06.

• When new program is implemented, new cards issued, old ones returned • Cardholders receive an updated handbook • Cardholders currently using PaymentNet will be trained on the new system, called SAM. An easy to follow training guide will be provided as well as a PowerPoint presentation put together by GE.

• Speedcharts will be used instead of chartfield strings.
