PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS

A. Commissioning of HVAC systems will require inspection of individual elements of the HVAC systems construction throughout the construction period. The Contractor shall coordinate with the General Contractor

(in conjunction with the COR)to schedule inspections, tests, functional

02-01-20

23 08 00 - 3 performance tests, trending, and training. This is required to support validating system functionality and the Commissioning Process.

3.2 PRE-FUNCTIONAL CHECKLISTS

A. The Contractor shall complete Pre-Functional Checklists to verify systems, subsystems, and equipment installation is complete and systems are ready for Systems Functional Performance Testing. The

Commissioning Agent will prepare Pre-Functional Checklists to be used to document equipment installation. Refer to Sections 23 05 41 NOISE

AND VIBRATION CONTROL for HVAC PIPING AND EQUIPMENT, Section 23 05 93

TESTING, ADJUSTING, AND BALANCING FOR HVAC and Section 23 09 23 DIRECT-

DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HVAC requirements. The Contractor shall complete the checklists. Completed checklists shall be submitted to the VA and to the Commissioning Agent for review. The Commissioning

Agent may spot check a sample of completed checklists. If the

Commissioning Agent determines that the information provided on the checklist is not accurate, the Commissioning Agent will return the marked-up checklist to the Contractor for correction and resubmission.

If the Commissioning Agent determines that a significant number of completed checklists for similar equipment are not accurate, the

Commissioning Agent will select a broader sample of checklists for review. If the Commissioning Agent determines that a significant number of the broader sample of checklists is also inaccurate, all the checklists for the type of equipment will be returned to the Contractor for correction and resubmission.

3.3 CONTRACTORS TESTS

A. Contractor tests as required by other sections of Division 23 shall be scheduled and documented in accordance with Section 01 00 00 GENERAL

REQUIREMENTS. All testing shall be incorporated into the project schedule. Contractor shall provide no less than 7 calendar days’ notice of testing. The Commissioning Agent will witness selected

Contractor tests at the sole discretion of the Commissioning Agent.

Contractor tests shall be completed prior to scheduling Systems

Functional Performance Testing.

3.4 SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING:

A. The Commissioning Process includes Systems Functional Performance

Testing that is intended to test systems functional performance under steady state conditions, to test system reaction to changes in operating conditions, and system performance under emergency

02-01-20

23 08 00 - 4 conditions. The Commissioning Agent will prepare detailed Systems

Functional Performance Test procedures for review and approval by the

COR. The Contractor shall review and comment on the tests prior to approval. The Contractor shall provide the required labor, materials, and test equipment identified in the test procedure to perform the tests. The Commissioning Agent will witness and document the testing.

The Contractor shall sign the test reports to verify tests were performed.

3.5 TRAINING OF VA PERSONNEL
