SECTION 019113 – GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Related Documents:

1. Drawings and general provisions of the Subcontract apply to this Section.

2. Review these documents for coordination with additional requirements and information that apply to work under this Section.

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

C. Commissioning requires cooperation and direct involvement by all parties throughout the construction process. Successful commissioning requires that installation of all building systems and assemblies not only comply with subcontract requirements but also that it is achieved early enough in the construction phase to provide full operational check-out, testing and adjustments prior to Substantial Completion. In addition to fulfilling scheduling and planning requirements, the Trade Subcontractors are further responsible for documenting the equipment and system installation and operational verification for all systems and assemblies.

D. The CM-GC and Trade Subcontractors are solely responsible for the commissioning responsibilities given in the Specifications. If the CM-GC elects to outsource commissioning responsibilities, the University must approve the agent via review of résumé and references.

E. This Section includes a description of the commissioning process to be used for this Project and applies to all commissioned systems and assemblies.

F. Overall Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Quality assurance and quality control on this Project shall be accomplished by the following, as specified. Not all elements are monitored by the commissioning process.

1. Submittal reviews of Shop Drawings and material descriptions and certifications.

2. Qualifications and approvals of certain specified Lower-tier Subcontractors and testing agencies or laboratories.

3. Inspection, testing and certifications by agencies provided by the University, including on-site and laboratory testing.

4. Inspection, testing and certifications by agencies provided by the Trade Subcontractors, including on-site and laboratory testing.

5. Inspection and testing by regulatory agencies.

6. CM-GC and Trade Subcontractor and University checks, inspections, tests and certifications.

7. Mock-ups and evaluations.

8. Commissioning: Commissioning enhances installation and setup and verifies the functional performance of the more dynamic systems through observation and testing as specified in this Section. Commissioning also may cover the QA/QC of certain static building elements or assemblies. Some QA/QC activities will be overseen by the commissioning process, while other QA/QC activities will be overseen by the CMGC, the Registered Design Professional (RDP), or University representative. Generally, the QA/QC activities that have traditionally been conducted in the past remain outside the formal commissioning umbrella, such as concrete testing, inspection of static building elements, and regulatory or code inspections. However, compiling the documentation of some of these traditional activities may be within the commissioning scope, as specified herein.

G. Commissioning Process Overview: The following narrative provides a brief overview of the typical commissioning tasks during construction and the general order in which they occur.

1. Commissioning during construction begins with a planning meeting followed by a kick-off meeting conducted by the Commissioning Authority where the commissioning process is planned and reviewed with the commissioning team members.
