REQUIREMENTS:

1.6 SUBMITTALS

A. The commissioning process requires review of selected Submittals. The

CxA will provide a list of submittals that will be reviewed by the CxA and CxM. This list will be reviewed and approved by the DVA/USACE prior to forwarding to the Contractor. Refer to UFGS Section 01 33 00

SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES for further details.

B. The commissioning process requires Submittal review simultaneously with engineering review. Specific submittal requirements related to the commissioning process are specified in Section 01 91 00.01 DVA/USACE

Projects GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (NOT USED)

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 CONSTRUCTION INSPECTIONS

A. Commissioning of the building fire suppression systems will require inspection of individual elements of the fire suppression construction throughout the construction period. The Contractor shall coordinate with the CxA and CxM in accordance with Section 01 91 00.01 DVA/USACE

Projects GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIRMENTS and the Commissioning plan to schedule inspections as required to support 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 CxM will prepare Pre-Functional Checklists to be used to document equipment installation. The Contractor shall complete the checklists. Completed checklists shall be submitted to the DVA/USACE, and CxA for review.

The CxM and CxA may spot check a sample of completed checklists. If the CxM and CxA determine that the information provided on the checklist is not accurate, the CxM will return the marked-up checklist to the Contractor for correction and resubmission. If the CxM and CxA determine that a significant number of completed checklists for similar equipment are not accurate, the CxM in coordination with CxA will select a broader sample of checklists for review. If the CxM and CxA determine that a significant number of the broader sample of checklists

Refer to SECTION 01 91 00.01 DVA/USACE GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS for submittal requirements for Pre-Functional Checklists, Equipment Startup

Reports, and other commissioning documents.

3.3 CONTRACTORS TESTS

A. Contractor tests as required by other sections of Division 21 shall be scheduled and documented in accordance with UFGS GENERAL REQUIREMENTS sections. All testing shall be incorporated into the project schedule.

Contractor shall provide no less than 7 calendar days’ notice of testing. The CxM will witness selected Contractor tests at the sole discretion of the CxM and CxA. The CxA and other Government representative(s) may choose to participate in some or all the testing procedures as observers. 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 conditions. The CxM will prepare final and detailed Systems Functional
