You will also want to schedule your deferred maintenance and capital improvement projects for the year as well. This will allow you time to consult with experts, develop proper specifications, and go out to bid to third party providers. Deferred Maintenance: • Exterior building washing and painting (Phase 2 of 4) • Sealcoating and line striping (Phase 3 of 4) Capital Improvement Projects: • Replace roofs (Phase 1 of 4) Part of your program will also include licensed or special ly trained service providers such as pest control, HVAC, ele vator maintenance and repair, alarm/security gate system installation, repair and maintenance, and fire suppression system repair and maintenance contractors. These business

partners are generally contracted to provide these services through an annual contract. Your onsite maintenance staff can assist in the oversight of these services by ensuring service contract terms are being met and the required log books are being maintained.
