SECTION 01 9113

GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY:

A. This section includes general requiremnets that apply to the implementation of the commissioning process without regard to specific systems, assemblies, and components.

1.02 RELATED REQUIREMENTS

A. Section 22 08 00 - Commissioning of Plumbing Systems B. Section 23 08 00 - Commissioning of HVAC Systems C. Section 26 08 00 - Commissioning of Electrical Systems

1.03 DEFINITIONS

A. Basis of Design: A document that records the concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to meet the Owner's Project Requirements and to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines. The document includes both narrative descriptions and lists of individual items that support the design process.

B. Commissioning Agent (CxA): An independent party, not otherwise associated with the A/E team members or the Contractor, oversees, though he/she may be hired as a subcontractor to them. The CxA directs the day-to-day commissioning activities.

C. Commissioning Plan: An overall plan that provides the structure, schedule, and coordination planning for the commissioning process.

D. Commissioning Process: A quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a project. The process focuses upon verifying and documenting that the facility and all of its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, and operated, and maintained to meet the Owner's Project Requirements.

E. Datalogging: Monitoring flows, currents, status, pressures, etc. of equipment using stand-alone data loggers separate from the control system.

F. Deferred Functional Tests: FPT's that are performed later, after substantial completion, due to partial occupancy, equipment, seasonal requirements, design or other site conditions that disallow the test from being performed.

G. Deficiency: A condition in the installation or function of a component, piece of equipment or system that is not in compliance with the Contract Documents (that is, does not perform properly or is not complying with the design intent).

H. Functional Performance Test (FPT): Test of the dynamic function and operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Functional testing is the dynamic testing of systems. Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied, varying outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc. The systems are run through all the control system's sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. Traditional air or water test and balancing (TAB) is not functional testing.

TAB's primary work is setting up the system flows and pressures as specified, while functional testing is verifying that which has already been set up. The CxA develops the functional test procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees, and documents the actual testing, which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. FPT's are performed after prefunctional checklists, startup, T&B, controls are complete. The subcontractor is responsible for reviewing, understanding, and performing the FPT's.

I. Issues log: A formal and ongoing record of problems or concerns and their resolution that have been raised by members of the Commissioning Team during the course of the commissioning Process.

J-1d Bldg. 2_Specification_Commissionings

FDA Jefferson Laboratories 01 9113 - 2 100% Final Design Submission Building 2 - Chiller Plant 06/02/2021

J. Owner's Project Requirements: A written document that details the functional requirements of a project and the expectation of how it will be used and operated. These include project goals, measurable performance criteria, cost considerations, benchmarks, success criteria, and supporting information.

K. Prefunctional Checklist (PFC): A list of items to inspect and elementary component tests to conduct to verify proper installation of equipment, provided by the CxA to the GC and Sub.

Prefunctional checklists are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for initial operations (e.g., belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gages in place, sensors calibrated, etc.).

L. Sampling: Functionally testing only a fraction of the total number of identical or near identical pieces of equipment.

M. Startup: The initial starting or activating of dynamic equipment, including executing prefunctional checklists.

N. Test Procedures: The step-by-step process which must be executed to fulfill the test requirements. The test procedures are developed by the CxA with assistance and coordination from GC and subcontractors.

O. Test Requirements: Requirements specifying what modes and functions, etc. shall be tested.

The test procedures are not the detailed test procedures. The test requirements are specified in the Contract Documents.

The installing contractors shall correct deficiencies and re-inspect or re-test, as applicable.

3.05 ISSUES LOG

A. The Commissioning Authority will prepare and maintain a Commissioning Issues Log that describes Commissioning Issues and Commissioning Observations that are identified during the Commissioning process. These observations and issues include, but are not limited to, those that are at variance with the Contract Documents. The Commissioning Issues Log will identify and track issues as they are encountered, the party responsible for resolution, progress toward resolution, and document how the issue was resolved. The Master Commissioning Issues Log will also track the status of unresolved issues. The CXA will verify the corrected issue and provide the commissioning team with updated issues log on a routine basis.

B. Creating a Commissioning Issues Log Entry:

1. Identify the issue with unique numeric or alphanumeric identifier by which the issue may be tracked.

2. Assign a descriptive title for the issue.

3. Identify date of the issue.

4. Identify test number of test being performed at the time of the observation, if applicable, for cross reference.

5. Identify system, subsystem, and equipment to which the issue applies.

6. Identify location of system, subsystem, and equipment.

7. Include information that may be helpful in diagnosing or evaluating the issue.

8. Note recommended corrective action.

9. Identify commissioning team member responsible for corrective action.

10. Identify expected date of correction.

11. Identify person that identified the issue.

C. Documenting Issue Resolution:

1. Log date correction is completed or the issue is resolved.

2. Describe corrective action or resolution taken. Include description of diagnostic steps taken to determine root cause of the issue, if any.

3. Identify changes to the Contract Documents that may require action.

4. State that correction was completed and system, subsystem, and equipment are ready for retest, if applicable.

5. Identify person(s) who corrected or resolved the issue.

6. Identify person(s) verifying the issue resolution.

3.06 FUNCTIONAL TESTING:

A. Objectives and Scope

1. The CxA directs comprehensive equipment and system testing and documents all testing performance. This testing is conducted using functional performance test procedures developed by the CxA.

2. The objective of functional testing is to demonstrate that each system is operating according to the Contract Documents. Functional testing facilitates bringing the systems to full dynamic operation. During the testing process, areas of deficient performance are identified and corrected, improving the operation and functioning of the systems.

3. In general, each system should be operated through all modes of operation (seasonal, occupied, unoccupied, warm-up, cool-down, part- and full-load) where there is a specified system response. Verifying each sequence in the sequences of operation is required.

FDA Jefferson Laboratories 22 0800 - 5 100% Final Design Submission Building 2 - Chiller Plant 06/02/2021

Proper responses to such modes and alarm conditions as power failure, freeze conditions, low oil pressure, no flow, equipment failure, etc. shall also be tested.

4. Functional Performance testing will not be scheduled until all prefunctional checklists are completed and return to the CxA, the Certificate of Readiness has been provided to the CxA, TAB is complete and all control programming and check out is complete.

B. Documentation and Non-Conformance

1. Documentation: The CxA will execute the functional testing with support from the appropriate installing contractors and document the results of all functional performance tests using the specific procedural forms developed for that purpose.

2. Non-Conformance

3. Systems or equipment for which 100 percent sample size are tested fail if one or more of the test procedures results in discovery of a deficiency and the deficiency cannot be resolved within 15 minutes during the test. Re-test to the extent necessary to confirm that the deficiencies have been corrected without negatively impacting the performance of the rest of the system.

4. The CxA will record the results of the functional test on the procedure or test form. All deficiencies or non-conformance issues shall be noted on the commissioning issues log and functional test form.

5. All deficiencies or non-conformance issues identified during the functional testing shall be corrected and retested at no additional cost to the Owner.

6. Aborted Tests and Re-Testing

7. Abort functional performance test if any deficiency prevents successful completion of the test or if any required commissioning team member is not present for the test. Functional performance test may be aborted if the CxA determines the system is not sufficiently complete or ready for testing. The Contractor will reimburse the Owner for all cost associated with the effort lost due to re-testing due to test failures and aborted tests.

These costs must include salary, travel costs, and per diem for Owner commissioning team members. Re-test only after all deficiencies identified during the original test have been corrected.

3.07 OWNER TRAINING

A. A training plan must be developed which identifies all training required by specification sections associated with commissioned systems. The General Contractor will submit the training plan to the CxA for review and approval prior to scheduling the training sessions. The General Contractor will be responsible for coordination and implementation of the training sessions after the training plan is approved.

B. The written training plan will include the following at a minimum:

1. Schedule and location of the training sessions

2. List of training instructors

3. Equipment included in the training
