Contractual Services
Mission Statement
The FMU Department of Contractual Services supports FMU’s students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and visitors by working with contracted vendors to provide services and products that enhance the campus experience. From books to baked goods, coffee to copies, Contractual Services provides key services in a pleasant, enthusiastic, and timely manner.
For the convenience of the FMU community, a BB&T ATM is located in the Smith University Center adjacent to the Patriot Bookstore. Please contact pmacdonald@fmarion.edu or (843) 661-1134 regarding any ATM machine issues.
Contractual Services is responsible for providing the copier fleet for departmental and student use across campus. These devices combine copy, print, and scanning into a single device. The current copier fleet consists of Savin copiers provided by Herald Office Systems.
Reporting Service Problems:
- Please use the sticker on the front of your machine titled “Savin” with the “Herald” logo to find the identification code for your copier (it will include an “H” followed by 5 digits).
- Please email servicedept@heraldoffice.com and pmacdonald@fmarion.edu with the machine number and the issue (the machine number is required). If a copier is down during a critical time, please also emaillheight@heraldoffice.com.
- Please contact egarris@fmarion.edu or call (843) 661-1134 if you feel that your support issues are not being handled in a timely fashion by Herald or if there is a copier emergency.
- For any machine that cannot be repaired in 72 business hours, Herald must provide a loaner machine.
Ordering Toner and Staples:
- Please use the sticker on the front of your machine titled “Savin” with the “Herald” logo to find the identification code for your copier (it will include an “H” followed by 5 digits).
- Please call Herald Office Systems at (866) 220-2414 with your machine identification code to order toner and staples (if your machine is equipped for staples).
- Herald will deliver the toner and staples to campus the next day.
- Herald Office Systems advised that when a machine states “Low Toner”, it can still run numerous copies and to fully utilize toner, it is best to order the toner when prompted by the machine (low toner prompt) and then use the copier until the toner is expended.
Ordering Paper:
- Copier paper is included in the per copy charge for copies. Please complete a Work Order Request to request copier paper delivery to your department by visiting www.fmarion.edu/facilitiesmanagement/ and clicking “Work Request Form” or by emailing the work order center at WORKREQ@fmarion.edu. Please include your department name, building and room number, and number of cases of paper needed.

If you paid in cash: Please pick up a refund at the Cashier’s Office in Stokes Administration Building, the Patriot Bookstore in the University Center, or the Housing Office. You will be asked to complete a brief refund request form. You must include the machine number and a description of the problem.
