COMMISSIONING PLAN

BID SET – BID #15-33 – 9 December 2015

Bassetti Project No. 14934.00 PROJECT COMMISSIONING

A. The CxA will develop the commissioning plan. The following narrative provides a brief overview of the typical commissioning tasks during construction and the general order in which they occur.

1. Commissioning during construction begins with an initial scoping

commissioning meeting conducted by the CxA where the commissioning process is reviewed with the project commissioning team members. 2. Weekly meetings will be required during construction, scheduled by the

CxA, through the owner or CM, with necessary parties attending to plan, scope, coordinate, schedule future activities, and resolve problems. Typically these meetings commence during MEP installation and continue into the building occupancy period or until all issues are resolved.

3. The CxA develops equipment and system performance test procedures. 4. The performance tests are executed by the contractor under the direction of

the CxA with the assistance of the facility staff. Documentation is by the CxA.

5. The CxA reviews the training plan provided by the contractor. 1.6 RESPONSIBILITIES

2. Occupancy and Operations Phase:

a. Participate in the resolution of non-compliance, non-conformance and design related issues identified during commissioning during warranty- period commissioning.

E. Commissioning Authority (CxA): The CxA will verify the execution of

commissioning process activities using random sampling. Verification will include, but is not limited to, equipment submittals, construction checklists, training, operating and maintenance data, tests, and test reports to verify compliance with the OPR. When a random sample does not meet the requirement, CxA will report the failure in the "Issues Log."

1. Construction Phase:

a. Coordinates and directs the commissioning activities in a logical, sequential, and efficient manner using consistent protocols and forms, centralized documentation, clear and regular communications, and consultations with all necessary parties.

b. Plan and conduct a commissioning scoping meeting and other commissioning meetings.

c. Review those contractor submittals which are applicable to systems being commissioned for compliance with commissioning needs, concurrent with the A/E reviews.

d. Write and distribute construction checklists.

e. Develop startup and initial systems checkout plan with subcontractors. f. Approve construction checklist completion by selected site observation

and spot checking.

g. With necessary assistance and review from installing contractors, write the performance test procedures for equipment and systems, including energy management control system trending, or manual performance testing.

h. Analyze any performance data to verify performance.

i. Coordinate and witness manual performance tests performed by installing contractors. Coordinate retesting as necessary until satisfactory performance is achieved.

j. Maintain a master Issues Log. Provide the owner/CM with written progress reports and test results with recommended actions. k. Review the training of the owner’s operating personnel. l. Provide a final commissioning report.

m. Coordinate the development of a systems manual. 2. Occupancy and Operations Phase:

a. Return to the site within 10 months into the 12 month warranty period and review with facility staff the current building operation and the condition of outstanding issues related to the original and seasonal commissioning.

F. Owner or Owner’s Representative (CM): 1. Construction and Acceptance Phase:
