This file is a design and construction standards reference document for the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), applicable to the Dell Medical Center at Austin, Texas Enabling Central Utility Plant and Infrastructure project, a Construction Manager-at-Risk engagement. The document directs architect and engineer team members to the UT Austin Design and Construction Standards website (https://construction.utexas.edu/design-and-construction-standards) for project-specific standards and guidelines. The architect/engineer team is required to download all Design and Construction Standards at the time of Agreement execution and maintain these documents for reference throughout the project term. The standards are subject to change during project execution, and the architect/engineer team must coordinate with the Project Development Committee (PDC) Project Manager regarding any modifications or updates to the standards that may affect project delivery. Additional standards may be obtained through departmental websites for Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), Physical Plant Services (PTS), Facilities and Operations Management (FOM), and University Energy Management (UEM).
