Request for Estimate
The UAB department requesting a move will provide the successful vendor's booking agent a form "Request for Estimate of Moving Services", so the written guaranteed price estimate for relocating the new employees goods or second proviso equipment can be prepared. This form is available below.

The booking agent will arrange for an on-site inspection of the employee's goods before the guaranteed price estimate is prepared. The estimate will be emailed or faxed to the requesting department, and emailed, faxed or mailed to the new employee and the UAB Procurement Office for approval.

The funding department will submit the approved price estimate form designating the amount of the move it will pay into Optidoc and process an Oracle Purchase Order requisition. UAB Procurement Contracts will initial approval for the move and will send the final approved estimate and purchase order number to the booking agent.

After the move has been completed, the booking agent will submit an invoice package for review and payment.

No move can be completed until the booking agent has received the final approved estimate and purchase order from the UAB. Any move conducted without an approved estimate may not be processed for payment.
