Rates for these services are established through the campus rate approval process. Fee estimates are based on the number of attendees expected. All the costs listed below are estimates based on how many hours of labor are necessary, charged at $88 an hour.
Prices are subject to change based on extenuating circumstances such as events lasting longer than planned, additional trash bins needed, etc. Late requests — requests made 72 hours or less before event date — will incur a 1 hour ($88) fee in addition to whatever services are requested. The Grounds team will make every effort to accommodate but cannot guarantee the resources/services will be available.
