Buildings & Grounds Maintenance

Event Services provides moving services for offices and departments and can move almost anything, including computers, medical equipment, furniture and books.

If you need help planning your move, see Planning a Move for more details.

Event Services can coordinate complicated moves, handling of large and sensitive instruments, moves to Surplus Sales and disposal through PSSI.

Please include in your request as much detail as possible and Event Services will follow up with you to ensure the move goes smoothly.

Understanding our moving services

• Trucks and Forklifts: We have a fleet of trucks of all sizes and forklifts for those big jobs.
• Offices: We have boxes for sale and will even pack them for you. We have special equipment for moving desks and books.
• Moving to Surplus Sales:
  Note: A BGM work order is NOT needed. Your Excess Report will be forwarded to Surplus Sales. Provided the move takes no more than 2 people and no more than 30 minutes SPS will pay for us to pick up your items.
  1. Prepare an Excess Report: Have your departmental property administrator (Look up your DPA) identify the items you wish to release.
  2. Complete an Event Services Request – select the Surplus Property check box on the Event Services request form. Please describe what will be moved in step 5 of the Event Services request form.
• Disposal to PSSI:
  A BGM work order IS needed; but an Event Services service request is not needed.
  
  1. Prepare a BGM Work Order: Describe your item, provide your date and times. Following Property Management Office instructions, direct PSSI to accept the scrap items from us, as follows: "Event Services to pick up and deliver to PSSI for Disposal".
  2. Prepare an Excess Report: Have your Departmental Property Adminstrator (Look up your DPA) identify the items for disposal. Reference the BGM SR number on your Excess Report
     

You must complete a BGM Work Order and an Excess Report before the disposal can be scheduled. Please allow up to five business days for processing.

NOTE: Moving and delivery rates are per-person, per-hour. That rate includes the equipment and trucks required to complete the job with the exception of forklifts which are charged by the hour.
