COMMISSIONING SERVICES PWS
Section C - Descriptions and Specifications
Performance Work Statement (PWS)
Commissioning Specialist Services
April 21, 2016
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Commissioning (Cx) is the process of achieving, verifying and documenting the performance of building systems in accordance with the design intent and the client’s functional and operational requirements. Cx, in the context of design, construction, renovation, and operations, starts in the pre-design phase and extends through the construction process and into the warranty and post-occupancy periods.
1.2 The Cx process entails developing clear and complete design and operational intent documentation, verifying and documenting proper equipment and system performance, verifying that appropriate operations and maintenance
(O&M) documentation is provided to the building operating staff and ensuring that the building operators are sufficiently trained. During the demolition phase of renovation, Decommissioning (DeCx) ensures an orderly shutdown of systems while maintaining adjacent operations and utilities traversing the renovation zone. After completion of the warranty period, Continual Cx ensures that systems remain in efficient operation. When previously commissioned systems are suspected of poor performance, re-commissioning, using previously developed functional performance tests (FPTs) can verify system operations. On systems installed and accepted without a Cx process, retro-Cx can be implemented to affirm the original design intent and ensure correct operation of systems.
1.3 Cx continues over the facility life cycle and integrates seamlessly with Pentagon Reservation and other DoD facilities master planning, configuration management, sustainability, O&M initiatives such as computerized maintenance management, reliability-centered maintenance, facility condition assessments and post-occupancy evaluations, and design and construction. Building Cx is a team effort requiring cooperation, commitment, and communication by all parties to succeed efficiently and effectively. This contract shall provide commissioning services for all types of building commissioning described above.
1.4 Code Enforcement is the process of achieving, verifying and documenting the compliance of project designs and construction to the WHS Building Code. Code Enforcement starts in the design phase with the contractor’s application for a Building Permit and extends through the construction process until the issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. Code enforcement services are required to ensure that codes and standards are implemented at the
Pentagon and at other DoD facilities in the NCR. The tasks included in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) incorporate DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC), Washington Headquarters Services Building Code (WHSBC), Washington Headquarters Services Fire Regulations (WHSFR) and other force protection coordination requirements. WHS’ goal is to ensure that facilities’ systems provide a safe working environment for DoD personnel.
1.5 The Code Enforcement process entails a thorough design review against the criteria listed within the WHS
Building Code, the frequent inspection of construction progress to ensure adherence to the approved design and
WHS Building Code, and the witnessing of any and all testing listed within the WHS Building Code. The code enforcement team will report to FSD’s Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), but will work closely with the
Office of the Pentagon Fire Marshal’s (OPFM) Code Review and Inspection Group (CRIG), the office responsible for ensuring compliance with the Washington Headquarters Building Code.
2.0 Background
2.1 The Standards and Compliance Division (SCD) of the Facilities Services Directorate (FSD), Washington
Headquarters Services (WHS) is seeking the services of a qualified Cx specialist firm to provide Cx specialist and code enforcement services for several projects. The selected firm may be required to perform Cx and code enforcement activities at the Pentagon, and other DoD facilities in the National Capital Region (NCR) as directed by the Contracting Officer and/or Contracting Officer Representative, which are primarily business occupancies. In addition, the Cx specialist may provide re-commissioning (ReCx) services for renovated areas of the Pentagon.
2.2 Several projects have already been programmed and are into the construction phase. The Cx Specialist may be required to conduct some Cx or ReCx services for these projects.
2.3 The management structure for most projects at the Pentagon is design/build with designs developed and implemented by an Architect/Engineer and Construction Contractor team. The Cx specialist will report to FSD’s
Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), but will work closely with the Construction Management Division
(CMD), the office responsible for oversight of large construction projects at the Pentagon and other DoD facilities.
3.0 Party Definitions
3.1 Architect / Engineer (A/E) - the prime consultant (architect) and sub-consultants who comprise the design team dealing with mechanical and electrical systems, generally the HVAC mechanical designer/engineer and the electrical designer/engineer.

Design-Build (DB) team.
3.2 Building Operator - The Federal Facilities Division is the building operator at the Pentagon, Leased Facilities
Division is the building operator at the Mark Center, and other DoD building operators will be identified in individual task orders.
3.3 Client - SCD is the client of the Cx Specialist.
3.4 Cx Specialist (CS) - an independent agent, not otherwise associated with the A/E team members or the construction contractor. The CS coordinates Cx during design and construction. The CS reports directly to SCD’s
COR for all Cx activities.
3.5 Cx Authority (CA) - the party assigned to coordinate the Cx activities during the design and construction phases.
This will generally be a CMD representative.
3.6 Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) - a person designated and authorized in writing by the contracting officer to perform specific technical or administrative functions.

3.8 Design Manager (DM) - The CMD on-site representative or agent for design activities associated with a particular project.
3.9 Design/Build Contractor (DB) - the design/build contractor for the specific project in which Cx activities are being conducted.
3.10 Building Code Official (BCO) - A division, office, or individual designated by the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ) to serve as a representative for the AHJ. The BCO’s powers and responsibilities are defined and limited within the WHS Building Code.
3.11 Sub Building Code Official (SBCO) - A designated subset of the Building Code Official in a designated area.
3.12 Plan Reviewer – The individual tasked with the responsibility of reviewing the design plans and specifications and ensuring their compliance with the WHS Building Code.
