Capital Equipment Disposition Request Form

Restrictions: This form covers all capital equipment dispositions EXCEPT those involving departing employees, which have their own form.

When: The form should be filled out, all signatures obtained, and submitted to Property Control before any capital equipment is disposed. Departments may not dispose of capital equipment without prior written approval from Property Control.

How:

Print a copy of the Capital Equipment Disposition Request.
Complete and sign form
1. List all equipment for which disposal is requested. Pay special attention to include tag numbers.
2. Property Control can furnish any needed information. Contact Property Control at (608) 265-7830 or Property@bussvc.wisc.edu.
3. Form must be signed by the Department Property Administrator and Department Chair or Designee. Signatures do not guarantee Property Control will authorize disposition, but indicate that a decision has been made to support the disposition request.
Completed forms can be sent to: Property Control 21 N. Park St, Suite 6101 Madison, WI 53715 Property@bussvc.wisc.edu
Completed requests will be reviewed by Property Control and Research and Sponsored Programs (RSP) to confirm property ownership and funding source(s) in order to verify that there are no restrictions on the equipment that would prevent disposition. If no restrictions exist, Property Control and RSP will authorize.
Property Control cannot authorize loss removal of items less than three years old since their initial acquisition or items that belong to a sponsor. Such items must be reported as stolen (with police report attached) in order to be retired.
Property Control will notify the department in writing that disposition has been authorized. If needed, Property Control will put the department in contact with other campus units to assist in physical removal of item(s) from the department.
Property Control will notify the Division Chief Financial Officer when authorizing unaccountable disposition requests
