For Vendors

Vendor Check-In

EVMS requires all visiting vendor personnel to follow guidelines designed to improve the institution's overall security. This includes all personnel who need direct access to our campus buildings to provide their products or services, such as sales associates, delivery drivers and service technicians. 

All visiting vendor personnel going to locations other than Materials Management are required to check in at the dispatch office before entry into buildings on campus. The dispatch office is located in behind Lewis Hall, 700 West Olney Road, by the loading dock. You can reach the dispatch office at 757.446.5199.

Vendors will need to carry proper company I.D. and paperwork, preferably with the referencing EVMS Purchase Order Number,to gain access into buildings for appointments, direct deliveries and/or service calls.

Upon arrival, vendor personnel will be instructed to show their identification and paperwork, as well as sign in to the required logbook. In addition, any accompanying materials, equipment and/or shipments may be subject to inspection by our security staff or the attending dispatcher.

Vendor Parking Information

Please be advised that vendors may not use Visitor Lot B, the surface lot between Hofhei‌mer Hall and Andrews Hall. This lot is restricted to patient parking only. Any vendor vehicles found in Visitor Lot B will be ticketed, booted or towed.

Vendor Parking Instructions

• Most vendors should park in Visitor Garage A, the central parking garage. The vendor parking validation stickers are no longer valid. Vendors will be required to pay the visitor parking rates as posted:
  • Up to 1 hour:  free
  • Up to 2 hours: $2
  • Up to 3 hours: $3
  • Up to 4 hours: $4
  • Up to 5 hours: $5
  • Up to 6 hours: $6
  • Daily Maximum: $8
• Vendors may acquire a free re-entry pass by paying the daily max fee of $8 should they leave before eight hours and have to return within a 24-hour period. For example, if a contractor enters the garage and parks for four hours and wishes to leave for lunch, he or she may pay the full $8 upon exiting for lunch and receive a re-entry pass that will be good for another free exit within 24 hours of the original entry.
• Contractors also have the option of purchasing a one-month parking prox card for $90 from the Parking Office on the first floor of the visitor garage.
• There are nine spaces alongside Andrews Hall marked "Vendor Parking - Marked Vehicles Only - Towing Enforced." These spaces will be open to vehicles bearing their business logos on the outside. Placards, hang tags and other internal notices will not be accepted. They are first come, first served, with no time limits. The spaces can be accessed by the access road between Hofheimer and Andrews curbside to the Staff Garage. Towing will be enforced.
