From time-to-time, campus personnel purchases furniture that has not
been pre-assembled. Others request custom-made cabinetry or
shelving for their offices or classrooms. With labor costs as
they are, it is normally to the benefit of the District to purchase
pre-assembled furniture and shelving. Only under extraordinary
circumstances, can requests for furniture assembly or cabinetry be
filled. Purchasing pre-assembled furniture and shelving will
eliminate this problem. Swimming Pool Maintenance Our Skilled Maintenance Technician and/or Maintenance Plumbers
