Maintenance/repair schedules and contracts
Maintenance/repair Schedules and Contracts
A maintenance contract is an agreement between your co-op and a service provider, such as a snow removal contractor, that outlines the tasks, schedules, and frequency of the maintenance services they provide.
Not everyone has a large, fully staffed in-house maintenance team. Even if your co-op has maintenance staff, you may have property or equipment that is specialized, that they may not be able to service or maintain. A common solution to this problem is to hire outside, licensed and certified help.
The benefits of a maintenance contract for your co-op:
- By choosing a provider outside of your co-op, you can bring in experts who understand the equipment and provide a level of service that you might be able to match. This frees your management and staff to focus their time and resources in other ways to benefit your co-op.
- Maintenance and service agreements can also help to reduce your co-ops legal liability. Make sure that your maintenance or service contract is with a professional that has their own insurance in place to provide coverage in the event of an accident.
