Renovations/Minor Projects
For renovations and minor projects needs for your Department, the university uses
a Space Impact Request
Form which must be filled out completely, including the following information:
description of request, justification for request, and anticipated source of funds
for the project (this one is especially important - without a specified source of
funds the Space Impact Request Form process will be delayed significantly). Forward
the completed form to Facilities, Safety, and Security at the CAS Dean's Office,
CPR 107, for our signature. The form will then be sent to the Provost's Office for
initial approval. If approved, appropriate personnel in the USF Facilities, Planning
& Construction Office(FP&C) and/or the USF Physical Plant Division will
review the request, make comments where necessary, and approve or disapprove of
the logistics of the project. To track the progress of your Space Impact Form, please
contact Joshua Broer, 9744-0834; Bruce Smith, 974-2555; or Greg Gard, 974-4983. With
all the necessary approvals in place, you will receive an official approval memo
from Physical Plant outlining who your assigned Minor Projects Manager will be from
the USF Facilities, Planning & Construction Office (FP&C). It will then be your
responsibility to contact this individual regarding the process for obtaining a
quote from a contracted vendor. Once the vendor has supplied a quote, it will then
be up to the department to decide whether or not it wants to continue the planning
process. This usually depends on whether or not the department has sufficient funds
to cover the cost of the work. In some cases, the CAS Dean's Office will cover the
overage, if any, on certain projects. The timeline to complete a given project depends
on a number of variables, including: scope of the work, academic schedule, and availability
of the contractor.
