  I.   PURPOSE AND SCOPE:
  
       This procedure describes the security of buildings scheduled for
       demolition and the disposal of their furnishings, Group I equipment,
       and other material which can be economically salvaged.
  
  II.  REFERENCES:
  
       None.
  
  III. PROCEDURE:
  
       A.   Responsibility:
  
            1.   Physical Plant Department (PPD), under delegation by the
                 Chancellor, has responsibility for all buildings except
                 Residence Halls, University Center, and Faculty Club until
                 such time as this responsibility has been transferred to
                 another agency.
            
            2.   The Office of Architects & Engineers (A&E) is responsible
                 for scheduling the demolition of certain buildings or
                 parts of buildings or relocating certain items of Group I
                 equipment in these buildings and further of entering into
                 a contract with a contractor for such work.
            
            3.   After the occupants have left, PPD will secure the
                 building by means of a padlock hasp on the doors. PPD will
                 then cannibalize the building of any equipment or material
                 which can be used elsewhere on campus. After removing the
                 material, PPD will notify the Central Storehouse and turn
                 the building security over to Central Stores.
            
            4.   Central Storehouse shall have responsibility for the sale
                 or disposal of all materials or equipment connected with
                 the building after A&E and PPD have exercised their
                 respective rights of refusal to such items. Central Stores
                 will take custody of the building and be responsible for
                 its security until demolition date. Materials or equipment
                 which can be economically salvaged will be removed.
                 Appropriate notices shall be made and the material sold in
                 accordance with the university investment recovery
                 program.
            
            5.   The Office of Architects & Engineers shall:
  
                 a.   Give at least two weeks' written notice to Physical
                      Plant Department, Central Storehouse, the occupants,
                      Business Services (Furniture Pool), Accounting, and
                      other departments involved with the demolition
                      schedule.
                 
                 b.   Provide in the demolition contract a clause which
                      gives the University an opportunity to cannibalize
                      the building of components which can be economically
                      salvaged.
