ACCIDENTS/VANDALISM
This section oversees the repairs of approximately 800 damaged vehicles annually, and manages all aspects of accidents, storm damages and vandalism. This process includes reviewing estimates, preparing purchase orders, determining fault, and deciding which path to take to recoup funds. Constant contact is maintained with state agencies, vendors, private citizens and insurance company representatives to arrive at the most amicable solution. Invoices are processed for the repair of body damage and forwarded to the Office of Financial Management for payment. The Internal Audit Division is notified when vandalism is reported and proper documents are processed to
the Division of Claims Administration when the state vehicle
operator is at fault.
