Maintenance DepartmentUniversity Driver Safety Requirements
The Facilities Maintenance Department provides a variety of moving services, ranging from moving furniture around in one office to transporting equipment across campus or to Surplus. All moves must be scheduled in advance and may be scheduled over the course of several days. For large scale moves, the Facilities Manager will determine if the scope requires outside resources to complete the move. If so, the department will be responsible for the additional cost.
Move Procedures and Checklist (Version 1.2)
To provide guidelines and instruction to ensure all moves are done in a timely and efficient manner, this procedure will outline the steps and procedures for an on or off campus move. Contact information for specific departments can be found on the Move Contact List below.
- Planning the move:
- For small office personnel moves that involve a few people and do not require any preparation of the new space (paint or furniture rearrangement), these moves can be handled through a single work order to facilities.
- For all other moves, notify the maintenance foreman (x5447), who will coordinate a meeting to discuss the scope of the move and preparation of the new space. If multiple departments are moving, each department will need to designate a point of contact for the move.
- The move checklist should be used as a guideline for the upcoming move. Email moves@unthsc.edu to communicate the upcoming move to ITS, Telecom and Facilities. Contact information for different services can be found on the Move Contact List below.
- Large off campus moves: If your department is moving off campus or has an off campus clinic move, the Facilities department may recommend contract movers be hired to conduct the move.
- Facilities personnel will not be responsible for:
- Packing or unpacking.
- Moving experiments, research materials or chemicals
- Personal property. In the event of loss or damage, Facilities personnel cannot be held liable for personal property.
- Delicate equipment. It will be the responsibility of the department to have specialized movers on site for moving these items. The department will be responsible for scheduling these movers and for payment of all costs incurred.
- Work Order Entry: A work order must be entered at least two weeks before the move needs to occur. The Maintenance Foreman will enter this as part of their collaboration. Crate delivery, move date, beginning and ending locations, UNT Health asset tag information must be included.
- Destination Floor Plan: Develop a floor plan for each destination.

Facilities personnel must follow the UNT Health Safety Office guidelines and will not place items in hallways or chases or in a walkway that blocks the exit route. Contact the Maintenance Foreman if help is needed developing a floor plan.
- Place the floor plan showing the placement of all furniture and equipment on each door. There will be an additional charge of $35 per hour, if maintenance or ITS is called back to change the configuration of the office or lab.
- Moving Crates: Facilities can supply a small number of moving crates to loan for on campus moves. Enter a Work Order for the number of crates needed for your move. If your move requires more crates than facilities can provide, crates can be rented for your move when provided with an account number to be charged. This will be determined during your move meeting with the Facilities Maintenance Foreman.
- Packing for the move:
- The person or department that is moving is responsible for packing and unpacking for the move.
- A gondola can be requested from Custodial for large volumes of trash. Contact custodial when it’s ready to be emptied.
- Heavy items and lab equipment including freezers and refrigerators must be emptied before they can be moved.
- If freezers need to be thawed, please call Maintenance Foreman to arrange defrosting.
- Contact the Safety Office to remove all unwanted chemicals.

If your department needs to add a driver to the University and State Insurance, please obtain the Driver Application Form from Lily Perez (lily.perez@unthealth.edu) in Facilities along with a copy of your drivers license. Once forms are processed, the new driver and their supervisor will be notified.
Driving a Vehicle:
Departmental Account Holders may authorize an employee or volunteer with a valid driver
license to drive any Health Science Center vehicle that the person is lawfully licensed
to operate. Prior to driving a vehicle, the employee must complete a Driver Request
Form. The Account Holder will ensure the Driver Request Form is completed and signed
by the employee and appropriate supervisor. The employee will be given a copy of the
Driver Safety Requirements when requesting approval to drive a University vehicle.
The completed original Driver Request Form must be sent to the Facilities Management
Office at the Facilities Management Building, 3416 Darcy Street, Fort Worth, Texas.
A copy of the form should be kept in the department’s files. The Facilities Management
Office will order a copy of the driver’s Moving Violations Report (MVR) from the Department
of Public Safety (DPS) after the completed Driver Request Form is initially received.
When these reports are received from DPS, if warranted, a Driver Rating Evaluation
Form will be completed on the driver. By completing the Driver Request Form, the employee/volunteer
driver expressly authorizes the Facilities Management Office to obtain his/her MVR
to disclose the information as set forth in this procedure. When the standard for
a good driving record for any driver is not met, the Account Holder will be notified
and provided with the details from the MVR that renders an employee/volunteer ineligible
to drive a
UNTHSC vehicle. The Account Holder will disseminate information on a need to know
basis and decide what accommodations or employment options are most feasible for the
driver and the department. Any employee who believes the MVR is incorrect may furnish
the Facilities Management Office with documentation and the information will be verified.
If necessary, the Account Holder may consult the Director of Human Resources and/or
the Facilities Manager to evaluate the options available to an ineligible driver whose
job requires driving. Vehicles may be requested from the Facilities Management Motor
Pool. Anyone driving a vehicle from the Motor Pool must have a Driver Request Form
on file in the Facilities Management Office Department prior to driving a vehicle.

Driving a Vehicle:
Departmental Account Holders may authorize an employee or volunteer with a valid driver
license to drive any Health Science Center vehicle that the person is lawfully licensed
to operate. Prior to driving a vehicle, the employee must complete a Driver Request
Form. The Account Holder will ensure the Driver Request Form is completed and signed
by the employee and appropriate supervisor. The employee will be given a copy of the
Driver Safety Requirements when requesting approval to drive a University vehicle.
The completed original Driver Request Form must be sent to the Facilities Management
Office at the Facilities Management Building, 3416 Darcy Street, Fort Worth, Texas.
A copy of the form should be kept in the department’s files. The Facilities Management
Office will order a copy of the driver’s Moving Violations Report (MVR) from the Department
of Public Safety (DPS) after the completed Driver Request Form is initially received.
When these reports are received from DPS, if warranted, a Driver Rating Evaluation
Form will be completed on the driver. By completing the Driver Request Form, the employee/volunteer
driver expressly authorizes the Facilities Management Office to obtain his/her MVR
to disclose the information as set forth in this procedure. When the standard for
a good driving record for any driver is not met, the Account Holder will be notified
and provided with the details from the MVR that renders an employee/volunteer ineligible
to drive a
UNTHSC vehicle. The Account Holder will disseminate information on a need to know
basis and decide what accommodations or employment options are most feasible for the
driver and the department. Any employee who believes the MVR is incorrect may furnish
the Facilities Management Office with documentation and the information will be verified.
If necessary, the Account Holder may consult the Director of Human Resources and/or
the Facilities Manager to evaluate the options available to an ineligible driver whose
job requires driving. Vehicles may be requested from the Facilities Management Motor
Pool. Anyone driving a vehicle from the Motor Pool must have a Driver Request Form
on file in the Facilities Management Office Department prior to driving a vehicle.

of gasoline will be based on current costs to procure fuel. All traffic violations
must be reported to the Facilities Management Office. Each driver is responsible
for the safety/operation condition of the vehicle while in use. In the event of an
accident, contact Campus Police, at Ext. 2210, retrieve the UNTHSC Automobile Liability
Insurance Claim Procedure, Vehicle Incident Report, and insurance ID card can be obtained
from the glove compartment of all UNTHSC vehicles. The Vehicle Incident Report must
