The departmental coordinator will prepare a written inventory of equipment and supplies affected by the incident. This inventory should include the room number, items damaged, and replacement cost.

Where equipment is damaged, this list should include make, model and serial number as well as value.

SPECIAL NOTE: If the department has a current maintenance agreement on equipment that is damaged, they should immediately notify the company with the agreement and initiate a service call to inspect the damage. The service ticket should state the nature of the call, the finding of the technician, estimate to repair damage not covered by the maintenance agreement and, if the cost to repair the equipment exceeds replacement cost, to note this on the ticket.

For inspection and/or repair of equipment not currently on a maintenance agreement, the UMB Office of Procurement and Supply can provide the names of several local vendors qualified to inspect and repair the equipment. As with all insurance claim payments, purchase orders must be issued through the Office of Procurement and Supply and all original invoices related to inspection and/or repair must be forwarded to Risk Management Division, Environmental Health and Safety, 714 W.

(SPECIAL NOTE: The Treasurer's Office will not reimburse the University for invoices paid in error.) Payment to the vendor will be made based on the total amount of the invoice.
