Window Coverings and Window Tint

If your department needs window coverings or applied window tint, here are the step-by-step procedures to follow:

Initial project planning

1. Verify funding availability.
2. Identify affected rooms or areas.
3. Select the materials and finishes you need, e.g., mini-blinds, roller shades, opaque window film.
4. Determine the required project start and end dates.

Determine who should manage the project

• Department-managed project — appropriate for small projects.
• Facilities Development and Management-managed project — appropriate for large or complex projects.

Tasks for a department-managed project

1. Solicit quotes. We encourage you to obtain multiple quotes, if possible. Review the list of vendors below that can perform this work. ASU's Office of the University Architect will guide approved colors, patterns and finishes if you have questions.
2. Request asbestos clearance. You must provide written documentation from the ASU Asbestos Program staff that the project area is clear of asbestos before Purchasing can process a purchase order. To submit a request for asbestos clearance online, submit an FDM Service Request. If asbestos is present, the additional cost to remove it will be added to the department's project cost.
3. Submit a requisition through Workday. Window treatments are on the P-Card restricted list. Please use the spend category Window Treatments for both materials and labor. You must identify your department's contact and attach the vendor quote and proof of asbestos clearance. 
4. Purchasing will issue a PO and send a copy to the department.
5. Department contacts the vendor to schedule the work.

Tasks for an FDM-managed project

1. Submit an FDM Service Request.
2. In the drop-down menu, select Estimate/Renovation. This will take you to the service request form.
3. Add information about the project location and details about your project and attach any documents such as drawings.
4. Submit the request.
5. The FDM project manager will get quotes and request asbestos clearance. If asbestos is present, the additional cost to remove it will be added to the department's project cost.
6. There is a fee for FDM project management services.
