Operations and Maintenance
Branch
The Operations and
Maintenance Branch provides building and office services through subsidiary
business components. Business services offered by the Operations
and Maintenance Branch include: alterations to existing workspaces; maintenance
and repair of building equipment inventories; office cleaning services;
environmental controls for heating, cooling and lighting; interior and
exterior landscaping; snow removal; pest control; recycling; and concessions
management for eateries. The creation of new offices
from old workspace, or minor alterations to existing workspaces, is accomplished
through reimbursable agreements from agency administrative budgets to
the Washington Area Service Center. Interior
design and construction design can be obtained upon request and included
as an element of any renovation when needed.
Agency administrative contacts seeking these services may contact
their assigned technical representative on 720-2911. USDA
employees needing adjustments to environmental controls in their individual
workspaces, or wishing to obtain any of the other services offered by
the branch may visit the Operations and Maintenance Branch in Room S-228,
South Building, or contact the Washington Area Service Center “Hotline”
helpdesk at 720-6858. We especially solicit employee reports of restroom
plumbing problems and any other facilities maintenance items they may
observe. |
