SUMMARY:
This policy establishes procedures for replacing telephone equipment at GDC facilities and offices. Since GTA transferred ownership of phone sets to individual departments in 1998, facilities must now purchase replacement phone sets from their Regular Operating Expenses budget through local vendors rather than requesting them from GTA. Standard phone equipment purchases are the responsibility of each facility's Business Office, though specialized equipment like P-phones and Comdial phones may still be requested through GDC Telecommunications.
