● Commissioning (Cx) is a systematic process of ensuring by verification and documentation that the newly installed equipment and/or systems perform independently and interactively in accordance with the scope and project intent, and in accordance with the owner’s operational needs to include training the equipment operators.

● Cx is required for any new construction or alteration work for any building system equipment including but not limited to any mechanical systems and the BMC/BAS.

● Please refer to the GSA/PBS Building Commissioning Guide for reference.

● The Commissioning Authority (CxA) must be hired prior to or in conjunction with the design team. CxA can help write requirements for the design team RFP.

○ Depending on project size, the CxA shall be:

■ Large project with a CM: a 3rd party contracted through the CM.

■ Medium/large project without a CM: a 3rd party contracted via an entirely separate contract.

■ Small project: the contractor can self-perform Cx or if unqualified, contract with a subcontractor.

● Commissioning Plan

○ Contractor must create/submit the Commissioning Plan, process and documenting procedure prior to the start of installation or construction.

○ This plan must be approved by the Commissioning Authority (CxA) and GSA R8 Energy Team prior to the commencement of work.

○ The level of commissioning should be appropriate to the scope, size, and complexity of the project as determined by the CxA.

○ Cx must be conducted after all equipment and system components are installed and prior to project completion acceptance.

○ Cx shall comply with P‐100, GSA Building Commissioning Guide, and ASHRAE 202 as appropriate to the scope.

● Commissioning Documentation

○ Cx documentation shall demonstrate and confirm equipment and/or systems were properly installed and are in functioning order and meet the project intent.

○ Cx documentation requires submission to the CxA for approval and GSA R8 Energy

Team after all commissioning activities are finished.

● Acceptance

○ Cx must be accepted prior to the project being accepted as complete.

mailto:andrew.olsen@gsa.gov

V3.8 – 6.30.2022

○ The Cx acceptance process may include visual inspection, functional testing, sequence testing (BAS) and confirmation of programming, graphics and BAS points added to the BAS dependent on the project scope.

Section O – GSA IT Network

● Contact: Todd Tangye, IT Technical Project Manager 303.941.1071 todd.tangye@gsa.gov

● Any Internet Protocol (IP) devices/equipment (HVAC, lighting controls, t-stats, meters, etc.) and/or software that requests to connect to or reside on the GSA Network, must follow the process for IT Security equipment scanning & approval outlined within The Building Technologies Technical Ref Guide. This includes devices related to both physical access and logical/network access.

● This process reveals, analyzes and provides the vendor or manufacturer with weighted determinations on any and all Federal and GSA vulnerabilities the product(s) may have and that must be remediated prior to placement onto the GSA Network.

● A catalog consisting of already-remediated products is available for review. Only GSA personnel can review this catalog and will do for the Contractor at the Contractor’s request.
