The operator will have all scheduled information for that day, such as scheduled drain downs, access to spaces, closets and special needs of the contractors. Elevator security operator will issue property removal passes to contractors as they take their tools to their work site each day. If a contractor fails to get a property removal pass from the operator at that time, he must obtain one from the General Contractor prior to removing any tools or equipment.
• Materials, workers and tool deliveries for construction are scheduled between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. only.

If needed a second service car will start up between those hours. Large deliveries are typically scheduled as an "early start" (4:00 or 5:00 a.m.) or after 5:30 p.m. with exclusive use of the elevator.
