Princeton University

The requests for service beyond the normal maintenance and care of the buildings and grounds will be paid for by the requesting department. At the time such work is requested, you will be asked to supply the account number against which the work will be charged. 

As the work is completed, the Facilities Business Office initiates the electronic billing based upon the information provided by the shop(s) that have performed the work. You will be charged either the pre-quoted price for the job, the established fixed price for the job, or the actual expense of time and materials, depending upon which method you agreed on prior to beginning the work. Your account statement for the month during which the job has been billed should reflect one total amount for the complete job. The University benefit costs are included in all of our billing and will not appear as separate expenses charged to your account. 

Our billing rates are as follows:

These rates are adjusted each July to reflect changes in salary, benefits rates, and other University overhead.

If you have received a job quotation, an estimate, or the service has an established fixed price, you will not receive notifications from us as we process the bill when the job is completed. For the jobs done on time and material cost basis, we will fax you a notification on the amount of the final bill prior to processing the bill. At that time, if you need more information or wish to discuss the charges before they are processed, please contact us.
