How to complete the Furniture Purchasing Process

  • An Online Requisition form encompassing the costs of planning and design, furniture and installation is to be filled out and submitted to the Procurement and Contract Services Office.
  • Issues to consider when ordering modular or panel furniture:
1. Facilities Management
a. Panel workstations require advance review and approval of the drawings/specifications by Facilities Management.  Please attach approval to the requisition submitted to Procurement for processing.
b. If the workstations will increase power demands, check with Facilities to ensure that the building has the available power necessary for the additional workstations.

c.

If the panels will need power, submit a work order to Facilities for installation of the power whip that will power the panels on the morning of the installation. Have the project manager pull the power whips as soon as possible for the electrician to install.

2. Equipment
a. If the workstations will increase data demands, check with User Support to ensure that the building has the available data lines necessary for the additional workstations.
b.

Submit a work order to User Support prior to installation to move computing equipment as needed and to alert them if computer cabling will be run through the panels.

3. Telecommunications
a. If the workstations will increase telecommunications demands, check with Telecom to ensure that the building has the available lines necessary for the additional workstations.
b. Submit a work order to Telecommunications to relocate phones and faxes as needed and to alert them if telecom cables will be run through the panels.
