The Commissioning scope of services extends from design through warranty phase. The objective is to ensure that the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing systems of each facility commissioned have been verified and documented to be complete and to fulfill the functional performance and maintainability requirements of the designer, building owner, occupants and building operators prior to building occupancy. Commissioning Services will include verification that the Owner’s requirements are met throughout the design, construction, start-up and initial operation/warranty phases along with appropriate documentation of same. During the design phase, it will be the Commissioning agent’s responsibility review designs to insure the MEP systems meet the Owner’s requirements and to develop detailed commissioning specifications for the MEP systems for inclusion in the bid documents. During the construction phase, the Commissioning agent will develop and coordinate the execution plan for functional testing including observation and documentation of each system’s performance to ensure systems are functioning in accordance with the contract documents and Owner’s requirements. Design Phase (1) At 100% DD Cxa will receive a full set of HVAC, electrical and plumbing drawings and associated specifications as well as a copy of CPCC current guidelines. The Cxa will review the drawings and specs for intent and submit a report consisting of design intent related questions and clarifications within two weeks. (2) At the 50% CD submittal phase the Cxa will develop and submit commissioning plans/specifications for review and incorporation into bid documents. Cxa will also attend a meeting with the Engineers of Record and Design Manager to review the 50% comments. (3) At the 95% CD submittal phase the Cxa will repeat the process noted in Design Phase item 1 above. Cxa will also provide a commissioning plan and schedule to be inserted into the 95% CD documents. Pre-Bid Phase (1) The Cxa will attend the pre-bid conference; introduce themselves and discuss their role in the construction process. (2) Submit a copy of the commissioning plan and explain the contractor’s responsibilities in the commissioning process and the systems to be commissioned. Review the Cxa schedule and expected time durations of the HVAC functional performance testing in which the controls vendors will need to be on site as well as TAB and mechanical contractors. Construction Phase (1) Coordinate any modifications in the development of the construction schedule relating to commissioning with the GC or CMAR. (2) Review major equipment submittals and compile all pertinent approved submittals from the A/E. Field Verification (1) All equipment will be verified in the field to comply with the contract documents and approved submittals. The Cxa shall verify that all approved equipment is in the proper locations. (2) All field connections to the equipment will be verified for proper connection. (3) Verify all accessories are installed.
