About this file
This document is a response to questions #1 submitted for the RFCSP752-24-979ER UNT Clark Hall MEP project, which is a state and local contract opportunity in Texas involving the Denton County and Denton City jurisdictions.
The project aims to replace or upgrade the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) systems in the Clark Hall building on the University of North Texas (UNT) campus. The work includes replacing air handling units, heating and hot water boilers, building exhaust fans, sanitary waste pipes, and various associated accessories. The project will be phased over a two-year period to accommodate the building's heavy use, with construction periods of no more than two months at a time, following the academic calendar. The goal is to complete all construction by December 2025.

UNT Clark Hall MEP
This document is being issued to answer questions that have been submitted as follows:
1) The specifications allow for the use of PVC pipe and fittings for the sanitary sewer waste piping. We understand that the campus standard for sanitary sewer waste piping is cast iron pipe and fittings with no-hub joints. Is the use of PVC pipe and fittings allowed for this system on this project?
ANSWER: PVC is preferred for all sanitary pipe on this project in the crawl space and underground.
2) To confirm, is the pipe removed to be reinstalled using existing or should we quote new?
ANSWER: If any piping is to be modified, then it is expected that all new piping and accessories will be used.
3) To confirm, what is the number of Mechanical rooms?
ANSWER: There should be 10 mechanical rooms plus the central plant. Refer to the design drawings for the exact scope of work.
4) Locations of Equipment to be moved in each Mechanical room?
ANSWER: Refer to the design drawings for locations of equipment within each mechanical room.
5) Can Heat detectors be used in lieu of fire watch to monitor any potential threat of fire while systems are inoperable?
ANSWER: No.
6) What is the number of Dorm Rooms in the building?
ANSWER: Refer to the design drawings for layout and room count of the building.
7) How many exhaust fans are in each bathroom of each room?
ANSWER: Exhaust fans are ganged by risers. Refer to design drawings for exact count and for which rooms are served by each fan.
8) Should we include make-safe in our proposal for sprinkler?
ANSWER: No.
9) Should we include make-safe in our proposal for fire alarm?
ANSWER: No.
10) How many mobilizations are you looking at?
ANSWER: This is to be determined based on alternates selected, equipment and material lead times, and available windows of availability by the academic calendar. The building is planned to be unoccupied during the summer semester of 2024 which lasts from mid May to early August. It is our preference that all work be performed within that time frame. Other windows of availability occur during winter break or other breaks depending on impact of work to occupants.
11) Is the building hot with asbestos?
ANSWER: Most of the building is not, but any potentially problematic material needs to be brought to UNT’s attention at the earliest opportunity. UNT will test and abate any material that needs addressing. UNT will provide a list of previously tested areas and materials.
