Facility Improvement Project Request (FIPR)
Overview
This process outlines how District staff should request facility improvements. Administrators must submit an FIPR for any project with an estimated value of $5,000 or more, or for any project involving space modifications, additions, or removals. Routine repairs and maintenance to existing equipment should be submitted as a Work Order.
How to Request Facility Improvements (FIPR)
If your project costs $5000+ or involves changing the use of a space (modifications/additions), you must submit an FIPR. General repairs and "useful life" maintenance should remain as Work Orders. Examples of when to submit a Work Order versus a Facility Improvement Project Request are shown in Appendix A.
