State Agency Office Moving in Sacramento

Leased state buildings usually have a lobby security desk, badge readers on each floor and a property manager who assigns the dock and freight elevator. Security decides how the crew signs in, whether names are needed ahead of time and whether secured floors require an escort alongside the crew. Ask for those rules at both addresses, because the new building will have its own.

Downtown and Capitol Mall towers often share a tight dock with other tenants and have little street parking, so dock time is booked in blocks. Natomas and McClellan Park sites usually have surface lots and easier truck access but their own gates and check-in. If the daytime dock calendar is full, we can book an evening or weekend slot instead, on request. Property managers in these towers usually want proof of a mover's insurance before they book the dock, and our certificate goes to them whenever asked.

State floors often hold the same furniture model in every unit, so each label carries unit, floor and desk number together. Released items are wrapped with the label outside, and undecided pieces are left where they are rather than guessed at. Freight elevator cabs and lobby floors are protected before the first cart moves.

Program staff set aside confidential files, keys and anything restricted before the crew arrives, and decide whether sensitive cartons travel with staff or sealed with the crew. The crew does not open cartons or read beyond the destination code. Asset tags stay on the furniture, so the department's property records still match afterward. Landlord fixtures, such as a built-in reception desk or mounted whiteboards, stay unless the property manager releases them.
