Specifications include, but are not limited to: The University of Texas System (Owner) and The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston are soliciting Competitive Sealed Proposals (Proposals) for selection of a General Contractor firm for 601-506.34045 West Plant Hardening (Project). For critical function on the Main Campus, reliable HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) is essential to preservation of human life and research product (e.g., patients, animals, tissue cultures, frozen samples, records), as well as post-event recovery and resumption of service to the community. Without hardening against flooding and loss of critical utilities (electricity and water), hurricane storm surge will flood many critical structures disabling municipal and franchise electrical and water utilities, such that HVAC is unavailable to critical buildings for an extended period.
