Request repair of existing property
Repairs and routine maintenance cover worn, torn, broken, or damaged items (e.g., light fixtures, carpets, sinks, painted walls). There is no cost to the requester; the BLM funds all facility maintenance at NIFC. Complete the Facilities Work Request, check REPAIR of EXISTING, complete Part A, and send the form to BLM_FA_WorkRequest@fire.doi.gov
Request new work
New work supports changing mission needs, such as new modular furniture, lighting, cabinets, exhaust systems, monitors, walls, and security systems. Funding may come from the campus 5‑year improvement plan or by the requester for earlier implementation. Complete the Facilities Work Request, check NEW WORK, complete Part A and B, and send to BLM_FA_WorkRequest@blm.gov.
New work is completed through detailers, BLM Force Account staff, other DOI staff, contractors, or maintenance staff depending on project complexity, budget, and timelines. Projects are often aligned for fall/winter and supported by seasonal firefighting detailers.
Dispose of excess items
Property with value or electronics must be disposed of through the property disposal system. Complete the Property Disposal Form/Release Request and send to kpressle@blm.gov.
Provide suggestions for campus improvements
Suggestions are encouraged and should include sustainability benefits, business benefits, and funding sources (including grants). More developed suggestions are more likely to be implemented. Complete the Suggestion Form and send to BLM_FA_NIFC_Comments@blm.gov.
Recycle items on campus
The NIFC campus supports sustainability through recycling. Green recycle bins across campus accept paper, plastic, and aluminum cans. Separate containers exist for steel recycling.
