Agreement and signatures

To the best of my knowledge, this equipment fabrication will result in a unique, special purpose, stand-alone piece of equipment. The total cost of material and supplies will be $5000 or greater and will have a planned useful life of more than one year.

During the fabrication period, I will code fabrication costs to "SC00406-Equpment-Fabrication" (the fabrications spend category) and the project ID provided by Property Control. Component parts will be attached to, or internal to the completed fabrication. Direct labor will be hands-on assembly labor and traceable to the equipment (e.g. Physical Sciences Lab). Direct labor will not include expenses such as design, salaries, or personnel expense, as these would be considered part of indirect costs.

When all costs have been paid and the fabrication is completed and placed into operation, I will contact Property Control so the equipment can be recorded for capitalization as an asset in the University accounting system.
