The purpose of the Facilities and Logistics Services (FLS) is to provide a safe, reliable functioning building and associated systems in support of the scientific focus of the Galveston National Laboratory. In pursuit of these aims, the FLS will provide a computer-aided preventive maintenance program designed to minimize unscheduled downtime of equipment and systems. The Facility Operations Manager, and/or, his/her Assistant Manager will provide coordination and oversight to the daily maintenance activities. A proactive maintenance effort will be deployed wherever possible;however, there will be some measure of unplanned work on occasion. Therefore, a user-friendly work request system will be provided to obtain services as needed. The Director of the FLS Core will also oversee the day-to-day operations of required logistics services as they relate to domestic material delivery and distribution, as well as the daily cleaning services.
