Updates from Business Affairs
Q & A - Return to Campus Resources Has UNLV installed the Merv 13 air filters in all AC units per the CDC guidelines? Per the CDC, COVID-19 is not believed to be an airborne disease but is spread through respiratory droplets. All university mechanical systems are designed and operated according to OSHA and ASHRAE guidelines. We do not generally use MERV 13 air filters. Additionally, we are increasing outside fresh air intake and where available replacing filters with higher efficiency units while balancing outside temperature, airflow design, and interior comfort. How do you recommend sanitizing department vehicles? You can use the sanitizing spray + disposable cloths or sanitizing wipes to disinfect vehicle interiors Do the disinfecting kits include disinfectant for keyboards? You can use the sanitizing spray + disposable cloths or sanitizing wipes to disinfect your keyboards While removing furniture are we taking into consideration those individuals with a disability? Managers should judge which furniture needs to remain to accommodate those with disabilities. If you use Planning & Construction consulting services for social distancing reconfiguration, P&C will help ensure the set-up meets users needs
Q & A - Return to Campus Resources While removing furniture are we taking into consideration those individuals with a disability? Managers should judge which furniture needs to remain to accommodate those with disabilities. If you use Planning & Construction consulting services for social distancing reconfiguration, P&C will help ensure the set-up meets users needs Will there be floor markings to show 6-foot distances? Please order markings from Integrated Graphic Services to demarcate 6-foot distances. If you work with Planning & Construction on social distancing reconfigurations, P&C will incorporate IGS graphics for social distancing into their consultation General note about ordering supplies through the portal: Please order only for employees who are working on campus. Please do not stockpile: Given the difficulty of sourcing items, stockpiling will hinder our ability to provide supplies to all employees who request them.
Q & A Return to Campus Resources The Admin Portal has been crashing frequently when placing orders for our departments. What would be the best method to place mass orders? The Administration Technology Services team indicated there may have been some platform outages that affected portal users during this particular week, but they didn t receive alerts from the monitoring system that indicated hard crashes. If you experience an outage or crash, please submit a request here: https://apps.administration.unlv.edu/AdminWebPortal/Ticket/New?service=WebIssueService or email admin-tech-svcs-group@unlv.edu Can Administrative Assistants order supplies through the portal (for individuals or department)? Yes, administrative assistants can order for other individuals and their departments
Q & A - Return to Campus Resources Can you please confirm that there will be no issue with one person requesting both personal and departmental supplies? Since the ACE account is used for login purposes, we want to ensure that both requests can be submitted. One person can request both personal and departmental supplies The sup org field in the portal is open so anyone may select any sup org Our department houses 4 buildings in CDC. Would we order 4 department kits or just 1? The portal is set up to take orders per supervisory orgs, so each supervisory org in your department is able to order a cleaning kit Will the department cleaning kits be sized different for larger departments? The portal is set up to take orders per supervisory orgs, so each supervisory org in your department is able to order a cleaning kit. If this does not meet your needs, please contact Colin Tewey at 895-1447 or the main Delivery Services number at 895-3212
