Region: 10

Building Name: BPA Building (OR0058PE)

Building Address: 905 11th Ave. NE, Portland, OR 97232

The General Services Administration (GSA) is seeking the services of a qualified commissioning agent and is providing this SCOPE OF SERVICES for a qualified Commissioning Agent (CxA) for the Bonneville Power Administration GSA Project # VOR00020.

GSA is committed to commissioning this facility to ensure that commissioned systems are well designed, complete and functioning properly upon project completion, meet the energy efficiency requirements which are an integral part of this project, are economical to operate and maintain, and that GSA staff has adequate system documentation and training.

BACKGROUND

The Bonneville Power Administration Headquarters is approximately 702,000 gross sq ft, seven story building owned by the GSA and co-operated by GSA and BPA. The current project is to relocate the current fresh air intakes from the street level to avoid intentional or accidental contamination of the fresh air supply.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of commissioning is to provide independent (from DB contractor) documented confirmation that a facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of GSA, the occupants (GSA clients) and operators. To reach this goal it is necessary for the commissioning process to establish and document GSA project requirements and criteria for system function, performance, and maintainability (design intent); and to also verify and document compliance with these criteria throughout design, construction and start-up. In addition, complete operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, as well as training on system operation, should be provided to the building operators to ensure the building continues to operate as intended.

The Commissioning Agent (CxA) will be involved throughout the project from the design development through the construction phase. Note: The term “Commissioning Agent” is sometimes referred to as the “Commissioning Authority” or "Commissioning Provider". The primary role of the CxA during the overall design phase is to develop detailed commissioning specifications and review the design to ensure it meets GSA and client objectives. During construction, the CxA develops and coordinates the execution of a testing plan, which includes observing and documenting systems’ performance to ensure that the systems are functioning in accordance with GSA and client project requirements and the contract documents. The CxA is not responsible for design or general construction scheduling, cost estimating, or construction management, but may assist with problem-solving or resolving non-conformance issues or deficiencies.

SCOPE OF WORK

The CxA shall be responsible for carrying out the following tasks. (The proposer is free to suggest changes and improvements to the following task list, but for this proposal it is assumed that the listed tasks will be completed.) This scope of work includes Design Development Phase (DD), Construction Documents Phase (CD), Construction Phase, and Warranty Phase services.

DD Phase
