PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.

1. Division 26 – Electrical

B. It is of primary concern that all systems and assemblies in the project perform in accordance with the design intent and the Owner's operational needs. The process of assuring that such performance is achieved is referred to as "commissioning."

C. The Commissioning Team will include representatives of the Owner, Design A/E, General Contractor and Installing Subcontractors, and Commissioning Provider (CxP).

D. Commissioning is a comprehensive and systematic process of verifying that the building systems perform interactively in accordance with the Basis of Design, according to the construction documents and the Owner’s Project Requirements.

1. The commissioning process shall encompass and coordinate the equipment and system documentation, equipment start up, field testing, control system calibration, functional performance testing and training. Commissioning requires cooperation and direct involvement by all parties throughout the construction process.

2. In addition to fulfilling scheduling and planning requirements, the Contractor is further responsible for documenting the equipment and system installation and operational verification for all systems and assemblies.

The commissioning team shall consist of, but not be limited to, representatives of Contractor, including Project superintendent and subcontractors, installers, suppliers, and specialists deemed appropriate by the CxP.

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

I. Deferred Tests: tests 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.

J. 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 Owner’s objectives).

K. Functional Performance Test (FPT): The written procedures and documentation forms of tests used to guide and record testing. FTPs are composed of repeatable, step-by-step procedures and include the test prerequisites, the test process, the expected outcomes and acceptance criteria. May include using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Functional Performance Testing is the dynamic testing of specific and interacting equipment and systems in full operation. Tests are generally performed after construction checklists and start-up are complete.

L. Contractor: Refers to the Contractor, Construction Manager, Builder, and all sub-Contractors and/or authorized representatives

M. Issues Log: Ongoing record of the issues identified during the commissioning process that require or did not require correction. For each entry the log includes a unique identification number and a short description of the issue. The Commissioning Provider is responsible for maintaining the log.

3.4 FUNCTIONAL TESTING

A. The Contractor shall be responsible to fully test all systems and assemblies according to the Specifications. The Commissioning Provider will direct, witness and document the electrical systems tests.

B. The Contractor shall execute all tests, except at the discretion of the Commissioning Provider and approval of the Contractor, the Commissioning Provider may execute tests of selected equipment.

C. Tests for a given system or assembly shall not be conducted until they are fully operational under normal and reliable control with calibrations complete and checked out and the Contractor have submitted a completed construction checklist and where applicable a startup report, satisfactory to the Commissioning Provider.

D. Objectives and Scope:

(1) The objective of testing is to demonstrate that each system is operating according to the documented Owner Objectives and Contract Documents. For dynamic systems, testing facilitates bringing the systems from a state of initial operation to full dynamic operation. For static elements, testing verifies the performance of the assembly in its installed state under conditions specified in the testing requirements. Additionally, during the testing process, areas of deficient performance are identified and corrected.

(2) In general, testing shall include each item in the design documents, including, but not limited to startup, shutdown, unoccupied and manual modes, power failure, alarms, component staging and backup upon failure, interlocks with other equipment, etc.

(3) All interlocks and interactions between systems shall be tested.

E. Development of Functional and Performance Test Procedures:

(1) Test procedures and documentation forms are not finalized until after equipment submittals and shop drawings are approved.

(2) The CxP obtains needed documentation which generally includes equipment Specifications, testing requirements, O&M manuals, approved submittals and shop drawings, start-up instructions, sequences of operation, electrical drawings and writes detailed step-by-step testing procedures to comply with the testing requirements.

019113 - 9

(3) Prior to execution, any test procedures developed by the Commissioning Provider are provided to the Contractor who shall review the tests for feasibility, safety, equipment and warranty protection.

(4) Prior to execution, test forms developed by the Contractor are reviewed and approved by the Commissioning Provider.

(5) Test procedures shall be written and submitted to reviewers at least 14 days prior to executing the tests.

F. The Commissioning Provider will review Owner-contracted, factory testing, required Owner-witnessed acceptance tests and tests conducted by regulatory authorities which the Commissioning Provider is not responsible to oversee, including documentation format, and will determine what further testing or format changes may be required to comply with the Specifications and rigor desired by the Owner. Redundancy of testing shall be minimized. Documentation of these tests will be included in the Commissioning Report.

G. Test and Verification Methods:

(1) Testing and verification for most dynamic equipment shall be achieved by an appropriate combination of active testing (persons manipulate the equipment and observe its function) or by monitoring the performance and analyzing the results using dataloggers. For certain tests documenting with photographs, video or audio recordings may be appropriate. The testing requirements sections of the Specification describe which methods shall be used for each test. The Commissioning Provider may substitute specified methods or require an additional method to be executed, other than what was specified, with the approval of the Owner.

(2) Simulated Conditions: Simulating conditions other than by overwriting a value shall be allowed, though timing the testing to experience actual conditions is encouraged wherever practical.

(3) Overwritten Values: Overwriting sensor values to simulate a condition shall be allowed, but shall be used with caution and avoided when possible. Such testing methods often can only test a part of a system, as the interactions and responses of other systems will be erroneous or not applicable. Simulating a condition is preferable. Before simulating conditions or overwriting values, sensors, transducers and devices shall have been calibrated.

(4) Simulated Signals: Using a signal generator which creates a simulated signal to test and calibrate transducers and DDC constants is generally recommended over using the sensor to act as the signal generator via simulated conditions or overwritten values.

H. Indirect Indicators: Relying on indirect indicators for responses or performance shall be allowed only after visually and directly verifying and documenting, over the range of the tested parameters, that the indirect readings through the control system represent actual conditions and responses. Much of this verification is completed during construction checklists and calibrations.

I. Setup: Each function and test shall be performed under conditions that simulate actual conditions as close as is practically possible. The Contractor shall provide all necessary materials, system modifications, etc., to produce the necessary voltage, amperage, etc.

to execute the test according to the specified conditions. At completion of the test, the

019113 - 10

Contractor shall return all affected building equipment and systems, due to these temporary modifications, to their pre-test condition.

J. Testing Order: In general, testing is conducted after start-up has been satisfactorily completed. When the proper performance of all interacting individual systems has been achieved, the interface or coordinated responses between systems is verified.

K. Problem Solving: The burden of problem solving is on the Contractor and the Designers, though the Commissioning Provider may recommend solutions to problems found.

L. Sampling: The following is a summary of the systems that are intended to be Functional Performance Tested as part of this project.

(1) The Contractor is responsible for testing 100% of all systems and components as part of their normal scope of work. The table offers a descriptive listing of equipment and components which will be tested and witnessed by the CxP for each of the typical systems during the commissioning process.

(2) If at any point, frequent failures are occurring and testing is becoming more troubleshooting than verification, the Commissioning Provider may stop the testing and require the Contractor to perform and document a checkout of the remaining components, prior to continuing with functionally testing the remaining items. Deficiency correction time and follow-up tests shall be required when deficiencies are discovered.

M. The costs for extensive retesting or expanded sample Functional Performance Tests shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor. Any required retesting or expanded sample testing by the Contractor shall not be considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or for a time extension by the Contractor.

3.5 ISSUES AND NON-CONFORMANCE

A. The Commissioning Provider will record the results of document reviews, field observations, tests conducted or reviewed and trend logs or monitoring. All deficiencies or non-conformance issues will be recorded on a master Issues Log kept by the Commissioning Provider. The Issues Log will be kept updated by the Commissioning Provider.

B. A current copy of the Issues Log will be provided to the Contractor and Owner on a regular basis, as requested by the Contractor or Owner. New issues since the last printing will be clearly identified.

C. Issues warranting a request for information (RFI) will be forwarded by the Commissioning Provider to the designated party for developing the RFI, or the Commissioning Provider will generate and forward the RFI directly.

019113 - 11

D. Issues of non-compliance or items that are incomplete or requiring Designer input will be sent to the Contractor or Designer and Owner by the Commissioning Provider via appropriate channels.

E. When completion of a task or other issue has been identified by the Commissioning Provider as holding up or is likely to delay any commissioning process, particularly functional testing, the Contractor or Designer, as applicable, shall respond within two days of notification of the issue, to notify the Commissioning Provider in writing providing the planned actions and an expected date of completion. The Contractor shall notify the Commissioning Provider in writing within one day of completion listing the actions taken to resolve the issue. It is not the responsibility of the Commissioning Provider to obtain this status information through meeting attendance, asking questions or field observation.

F. The Commissioning Provider documents resolutions in the Issues Log and schedules retesting and re-inspection as needed.

G. Corrections of minor issues identified may be made during the tests at the discretion of the Commissioning Provider and with the issue and resolution documented in the Issues Log.

H. Every effort will be made to expedite the testing process and minimize unnecessary delays, while not compromising the integrity of the procedures. However, the Commissioning Provider will not be pressured into overlooking deficient work or loosening acceptance criteria to satisfy scheduling or cost issues, unless there is an overriding reason to do so at the written request of the Owner.

I. Cost of Retesting: The Contractor shall reimburse the Owner and Commissioning Provider for costs when a scheduled test cannot be completed due to, but not limited to the following:

(1) Failure of the Contractor to schedule the test with all parties required to perform the test or with regulatory authorities required to witness the test.

(2) Failure of the Contractor to provide required notice for tests that have been cancelled or rescheduled.

(3) Failure of the Contractor to have in place test equipment, support equipment, instrumentation, permits, or other ancillary equipment or systems required for successful execution of the test.

(4) Failure of the Contractor to complete pre-start or start-up procedures or other work required as a prerequisite for execution of the test.

J. Any required retesting by the Contractor shall not be considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or time extension by the Contractor.

3.6 APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE:

A. The Commissioning Provider will note each satisfactorily demonstrated function on the test form. However, formal approval of an entire test form is not normally given.

Functional approval or acceptance of a system is indicated after all testing and monitoring is complete and there are no outstanding issues for that equipment or assembly in the Commissioning Provider’s Issues Log.

3.7 DEFERRED TESTING

A. Unforeseen Deferred Tests: If any check or test cannot be completed due to the building structure, required occupancy condition or other deficiency, execution of checklists and testing may be delayed upon written approval of the Owner.

019113 - 12

B. Seasonal Testing: During the warranty period, seasonal testing (tests delayed until weather conditions are closer to the system’s design) specified in the testing requirements shall be completed as part of this contract. The Commissioning Provider will coordinate this activity. Tests will be executed, documented and deficiencies corrected by the Contractor, with facilities staff and the Commissioning Provider witnessing. The Contractor shall make needed final adjustments to the O&M manuals and Record Documents due to the testing results.

3.8 SCHEDULE

A. The Owner and Contractor shall work with the Commissioning Provider using established protocols to schedule the commissioning activities.
