Meetings

The Commissioning Agent will hold regular commissioning team meetings to review progress of the commissioning effort and reinforce individual responsibilities. The team will review schedule, construction sequence, and completed work (PFC, PFT and FPT’s) and outstanding issues on the Commissioning

Issues Log.

Commissioning Team Meetings may be held at the jobsite or by teleconference depending upon the status of construction. While it is imperative that many of the Commissioning Team

Meetings be held in person, during early construction phases, some meetings may be more cost effectively conducted remotely.

Scheduling and location of meetings shall occur by consultation between the Commissioning

Agent and the VA-RE.

The Prime Contractor’s scheduler should attend approximately every other Commissioning

Team Meeting to review the master schedule and any changes that will affect commissioning activities.
