The objective of commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that a facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of the building owner. To reach this goal it is necessary for the commissioning process to develop and document the owner’s criteria for system function, performance, and maintainability, as well as, to verify document compliance with these criteria throughout construction, start-up, initial and seasonal operation. In addition operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, as well as training on system operations should be provided to the building operators to ensure the building continues to operate as intended. The Commissioning Agent (CxA) will develop the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). SRPMIC is committed to commissioning this facility to ensure that all systems are well designed, complete and functioning properly upon occupancy and through all seasons. The CxA will assist in providing design review comments, commissioning related documents and a commissioning plan for the project to ensure that the anticipated Building systems to be commissioned include but are not limited to: HVAC equipment and systems, Building Automation controls, electrical, fire alarm, and plumbing. The CxA will be involved from the construction phase through warranty phase. The CxA will be responsible for reviewing and thoroughly documenting the Owner’s Project Requirements and providing review of the Basis of Design as developed by the Project Engineer. During construction, the CxA shall coordinate the execution of a testing plan, which includes observing and documenting all systems’ performance to ensure that systems are functioning in accordance with the Owner’s objectives and the contract documents. The CxA is not responsible for design or general construction scheduling, cost estimating, or construction management, but it may be necessary to assist with problem solving non-conformance issues and deficiencies. The CxA will be required to provide input on the overall master schedule relative to tasks they are to perform.
