How to Lease an Off-campus Storage Unit

Summary: Learn how to request off-campus storage.

UCSC Purchasing has negotiated a contract with Statewide Self-Storage for providing off-campus storage units. Statewide Self-Storage operates one location in Santa Cruz County.

The University has a corporate agreement with Statewide Self-Storage which establishes rental terms and conditions, including receiving a discount off list price.

Procedure

1. Contact the Statewide Self-Storage Manager, Janean Lucas, at 831-427-9700. He will assist you in determining the size of the unit which will best meet your needs.
2. The Statewide Self-Storage Manager will provide you with a unit # and the price for your space, and will also place that unit on hold pending the issuance of the Purchase Order #.
3. Create a CruzBuy Purchase Order, using the Services form. Note the size, unit # and monthly rent/price of the unit. Please include the names of others who need to be allowed access to your storage unit and names of person(s) authorized to request a lock cut (in the event that your key is lost or misplaced). See CruzBuy Reference: How to Complete the Chosen Form as needed.
   
   Never use Pro-cards or personal credit cards for leasing off-campus storage which will be used for UC purposes.

If Statewide Self-Storage is unable to meet your requirements, contact Procurement and Business Contracts for assistance locating and negotiating an agreement with a suitable company. All rental agreements must be reviewed and authorized by Procurement and Business Contracts.

DO NOT SIGN ANY CONTRACTS! Only a professional buyer has the delegated authority to sign contracts for the University.
