Specifications include, but are not limited to: 3.7.1.1 The commissioning agent (CX) reviews the Contract Documents to confirm thatthe design objectives and intent are clearly documented. Comments will bediscussed with the design team and the University representative, (ODR).3.7.1.2 CX prepares a Commissioning Specification which clearly defines the level ofeffort with the assistance of ODR, CX and the Design Build Firm (Project Team)related to commissioning.3.7.1.3 CX develops a Commissioning Plan.3.7.1.4 CX conducts a scoping meeting where the commissioning process is reviewedwith the Project Team. CX will conduct additional meetings, as necessary,throughout the bidding and construction phases, to plan, coordinate, and schedulefuture activities and resolve problems related to commissioning.3.7.1.5 CX reviews all normal equipment submittals, including detailed start-upprocedures.3.7.1.6 CX develops a start-up plan, start-up documentation formats and pre-functionalchecklists to be completed by the subcontractors before functional testing duringthe startup process.3.7.1.7 CX manages overall commissioning process, including checkout andperformance verification, from component level to equipment to systems andintersystem levels. Commissioning is completed before Substantial Completion.3.7.1.8 Subcontractors, under their own direction, execute and document theprefunctional checklists and perform startup and initial checkout. The CXdocuments that the checklists and startup were completed in accordance with theContract Documents. The CX witnessing startup of selected equipment,including all critical electrical, HVAC and controls systems.3.7.1.9 CX develops specific equipment and system functional performance testprocedures. The subcontractors review and execute the procedures under thedirection of, and documented by the CX.3.7.1.10 Items of non-compliance are corrected in accordance with the ContractDocuments, and the system retested.3.7.1.11 The CX reviews the O&M documentation for completeness.3.7.1.12 The CX reviews, pre-approves and coordinates the training provided by thesubcontractors and verifies that it was completed.3.7.1.13 The CX prepares final Commissioning Report. 3.7.3.1.1 The CX shall assist in the survey of the existing equipment andassist in identifying operational issues with current equipment tocreate and complete and highly efficient operational system. TheCX shall review the complete Contract Documents of completenessand clarity to confirm the responsibilities of subcontractors isclearly defined and includes all necessary work related to startupand commissioning. The CX shall review the CommissioningSpecification, including pre-functional checklists for the installingcontractors to include in their startup and initial checkout anddetailed written test procedures for guiding and documentingperformance during functional testing.3.7.3.1.2 The functional testing shall include operating the system andcomponents through each of the written sequences of operation, andother significant modes and sequences, including startup, shutdown,unoccupied mode, manual mode, staging, miscellaneous alarms,power failure, security alarm when impacted and interlocks withother systems or equipment. Sensors and actuators shall becalibrated during pre-functional check listing by the installingcontractors, and spot-checked by the CX during functional testing.3.7.3.1.3 Tests on respective HVAC equipment and related DDC systemsshall be executed during both the heating and cooling season.However, some overwriting of control values to simulate conditions shall be allowed to create worst ambient temperature conditions
