Project Intake

Scoping Fee Notification

For every Facilities Design & Construction scope statement completed and signed, a $1,000 estimate authorization fee will be applied to the project. As FDC is a fee-based department, this fee ensures thorough and accurate project scoping. If the project proceeds past the scoping stage, this fee will be reimbursed to the project.

Anticipated Additional Fees

If the project proceeds, the following fees may be required:

  • Hazardous Materials Testing: If the project includes the renovation of an existing space, or the attachment of new materials to existing materials within an existing space, the existing materials must be tested for hazardous components prior to disturbing the existing materials. If UNM EHS does not have archived test results for the material in the existing area to be renovated, hazardous material testing will be required.
    • Depending on the scale of the project, a minimum testing fee of approximately $800 should be anticipated.
  • Hazardous Material Removal: Through testing, if hazardous material, such as asbestos, is found in any of the existing building materials to be removed or disturbed, per UNM Environmental Health & Safety guidelines, the confirmed hazardous materials must be remediated and removed per NIOSH requirements.
    • Depending on the scale of the project, a minimum remediation fee of approximately $3,000 should be anticipated.

  • Architectural or Engineered Drawings: If the project requires the revision and/or addition of any of the following, a set of Architectural and/or Engineered construction drawings, stamped by a NM licensed professional (as required by the NM State CID Permitting Authority) will be required:

    • Fire Egress pathway revisions

    • Fire Alarm Device revisions

    • Occupancy requirements for an existing space

    • Mechanical (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) System revisions

    • Electrical System revisions

    • Plumbing System revisions

    • Structural revisions

    • Site Drainage revisions

  • Depending on the scale of the project, a minimum stamped  construction document preparation fee of $3,500 should be anticipated

  • Lab Safety Standards: All Scientific Lab projects, new or renovated, must be assessed by the UNM Lab Safety Review Team.  The Team’s evaluation will review the proposed Lab function(s) and they will determine the necessary architectural or engineering requirements needed for the space to be utilized safely. Their determinations will be provided to the FDC Project Manager and implemented by the Project Design Consultants. 
  • Lab project costs related to additional architectural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing requirements as determined by the Lab Safety Review Team will be assessed on a case by case basis.
