APPENDIX I: Setting up an Account for Services at Argonne

(Machine Shops, Electronics, Stock Room, Rigging, etc.)

A Purchase Order should be issued to Argonne National Laboratory c/o Manager, Outside Services (C. E. Rickleff) for "Miscellaneous services connected with experiments at ATLAS". This order should be at Argonne at least three (3) weeks before the user arrives (two (2) months for users from a foreign country) and should contain the following information:

  1. The dollar value of the Purchase Order.

  2. The terms (i.e., starting and expiration dates).

  3. The names of the persons authorized to spend the money. (All those named should have ANL badges.)

The above procedure will generate an "Acknowledgment of Purchase Order (ACK)". The Physics Division Directors will have signature authority to issue service requests to the various service centers for the needed work. The user should contact the Physics Division Office where the Assistant Director [A. Bernstein (630)252-6661)] will inform the user of the ACK # and procedure for using it.

It should be noted that it is Laboratory policy to charge outside users an overhead charge in addition to the standard rate. Contact J. Nelson [(630)-252-4002] regarding the details of this charge.
