Specifications include, but are not limited to: provide full CxA services. The selected firm will report directly to the Bond Program Manager Consultant or his designee. The CxA firm should be involved throughout the project from design through the warranty phase. During construction, the CxA develops and coordinates the execution of a testing plan, which includes observing and documenting all systems’ performance to ensure that the systems are functioning in accordance with the District’s design requirements and contract documents. The CxA is not responsible for design or general construction scheduling, cost estimating, or construction management, but may assist with problem-solving or resolving non-conformance issues or deficiencies. DESIGN PHASE 1. Review the Owners Project Requirements, (OPR). 2. Review the construction drawings and specifications at the 50% completion phase to become familiar with the project scope and make recommendations based on perceived future outcomes. 3. Review the DSA submittal drawings and specifications. CONSTRUCTION PHASE 1. Perform the tasks and functions in the plans and specifications and commissioning services required per 2016 California Energy Code, California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 6, Section 120.8 Nonresidential Building Commissioning. 2. Perform and document Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) commissioning criteria for credits EE3.0 Fundamental Building Systems Testing and Balance and EE3.1 Enhanced Commissioning. CHPS Best Practices Manual applicable to this project will be provided by the District. 3. Coordinate and direct 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, frequently updated timelines and schedules and technical expertise. 4. Coordinate the commissioning work with the contractor and construction manager, to ensure that commissioning activities are being incorporated into the master schedule. 5. Revise, as necessary, the construction phase commissioning plan developed during design, including scope and schedule. 6. Plan and conduct commissioning meetings as needed and distribute meeting minutes to all attendees, owner, and architect of record. 7. Request and review additional information required to perform commissioning tasks, including O&M materials, contractor start-up and checkout procedures. Before startup, gather and review the current control sequences and interlocks and work with contractors and design engineers until sufficient clarity has been obtained, in writing, to be able to write detailed testing procedures. 8. Review normal Contractor submittals applicable to systems being commissioned for compliance with commissioning needs, concurrent with the A/E reviews. 9. Review requests for information and change orders for impact on commissioning and owner’s objectives. 10. Review coordination drawings to ensure that trades are making a reasonable effort to coordinate.
