Custodial services
GSA provides cleaning for assigned space equal to commercial cleaning for similar space. The following services are standard: vacuuming, sweeping and dusting; emptying trash; servicing restrooms, lobbies, corridors, and other common areas; servicing loading docks and platforms; washing windows; and pest control. Carpet spot removal can be done on an as-needed basis. Overall shampooing is done as a reimbursable service and should take place on a regular basis to preserve the appearance and condition of the carpet. For custodial requests, contact GSA Property Manager or service line at 650-665-9118.
Recycling
Tenants are encouraged to take advantage of the building-wide recycling program, which includes paper, glass bottles and jars, metal cans, plastic containers and cardboard. Any questions regarding recycling, please contact the janitorial contractor supervisors, Joe Hilgen at jhilgen@hopeservices.org or Mayra Zamarron at mzamarron@hopeservices.org, or the GSA Property Manager at 650-665-9118.
Displays and personal property
Please do not post or display any material outside tenant space without first contacting the GSA Property Manager at 650-665-9118. Do not put surplus items in building common space such as corridors, elevators, loading dock, etc. Doing so may impede egress should the building need to be evacuated. We will be glad to advise you about excess property.
Additional services
Ten hours of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting are provided at no additional cost during normal duty hours. Additional service outside this timeframe is available on a reimbursable basis through a reimbursable work authorization with advanced 3 day notice to the GSA Property Management Office at 650-665-9118.
Construction (space alterations)
Space alterations should not be performed without first contacting the GSA Property Manager. We can provide alteration solutions to meet your needs. Alteration projects are normally funded through a Reimbursable Work Authorization (RWA). Also, it is building policy that work that might disrupt building tenants (e.g. paint fumes, construction noise, etc.) be accomplished after standard building operating hours.
Utility closet access
Tenant and tenant vendor access to electrical and telephone closets can be obtained by contacting the operations and maintenance contractor at 650-665-9118. Please do not install equipment in these closets without first contacting the GSA Property Management Office.
Occupant emergency plan
As the lead tenant in this building, the U.S. Geological Survey is responsible for creating and updating the Occupant Emergency Plan. Please take time to become familiar with it, and participate in Building Security Committee meetings.
