Equipment Maintenance: Remi Group Information

The Remi Group previously provided maintenance agreement options for UC Davis.  This program has been phased out (and replaced with a new UC Asset Protection Program (UCAPP), as of March 1, 2021. This page provides instructions for customers who still have equipment covered under the Remi Group program.

Questions regarding the information below should be directed to John Custer at UC Office of the President.  Departments wishing to enroll in new maintenance agreement options should refer to the UCAPP page.

Transitioning from The Remi Group to UC Asset Protection Program (UCAPP)

All previously existing agreements with Remi will be renewed under the UCAPP name. 

Existing terms, conditions, and pricing will generally remain the same.  Please note that there may be some change in price with respect to inflation, age of equipment, and cost of service required, but the UCAPP team will work to keep any changes to a minimum.

The Remi Group Special Claims Procedures

90 Day Provision

In order for The Remi Group (TRG) to effectively capture all details necessary for the claims review process, we require you to submit a copy of the service report and invoice within ninety (90) days from the date of service. The service report and invoice should clearly specify the Make, Model and Serial Number of equipment that was serviced, the location of the equipment, details of the service work performed, a list of all parts used, and a breakdown of all charges. If the information submitted as proof of loss is determined insufficient, we must receive requested information to substantiate the loss within ninety (90) days of notification.

TRG is not liable for any loss, damage or occurrence not reported in compliance with the above paragraph.

Replacement of Equipment

If replacement of an item is needed rather than repair you must receive prior authorization from TRG by calling (877) 275-7364. If we agree that replacing an item is more cost effective than repair, you may substitute property of a similar kind, age, model and manufacturer.

TRG is not liable for the cost of any unauthorized property replacement.

Large Loss Notification

If a service event is expected to exceed $7,500 you must immediately notify TRG by calling (877) 275-7364. TRG Engineering will make service repair recommendations and assist you throughout the service process to ensure the best possible repair outcome. However, you have the final decision over the repair process for your equipment. TRG will reimburse for the service event in accordance with your maintenance agreement.

Supplier Does Not Provide Service Report or Invoice

If the Supplier does not provide you with a service report and invoice within thirty (30) days of the service date, contact The Remi Group (TRG) to make preliminary loss notification and send in any documentation you have on the service event. Then, contact the supplier and request the missing documentation be sent immediately. As stated above, TRG requires a detailed service report and invoice for proper loss notification. TRG must receive both types of documentation within ninety (90) days from date of service.

Upgrades/ Modifications/ Overhauls

If the service supplier recommends or plans to do any upgrades, modifications, refurbishment, overhauls, etc., contact TRG Engineering prior to authorizing the supplier to perform this type of work. Our Engineering Department can advise you as to what types of services are covered and not covered under your TRG agreement.
