Introduction
Commissioning (Cx) is a systematic process that helps to ensure that building systems perform interactively according to the owner’s operational requirements and the design intent. Cx facilitates the transition from design through construction and into operations. At completion of the Cx process, all defined equipment and systems will have been started and tested in accordance with the contract requirements and verified operational relative to operational requirements and design intent.
The Cx plan defines the equipment and systems, commissioning requirements, and addresses the integration of commissioning into the overall project delivery process. This plan will serve as a guideline and is intended to assist members of the Project Team in applying a clear and consistent approach to commissioning during all phases of project delivery.
Commissioning Plan Overview
The purpose of the Cx Plan is to provide direction for the implementation of the Cx process. The Cx Plan is a management and communications tool that defines the scope, standards, processes, roles and responsibilities, expectations, and deliverables for the project. It is a dynamic document that is revised and refined as the phases of the project progress. The Cx Plan provides a detailed description of the Cx process and a description of the roles and responsibilities of key members of the Cx Team. It also identifies communication, and provides direction on scheduling, coordination and reporting. The plan addresses the following:
Cx Team: Defines the roles and responsibilities of the team members.
Cx Scope of Work: This describes in detail the scope of work, the contractual roles and responsibilities, identifies the equipment and systems to be commissioned, and defines the related Cx specification requirements.
Project Phases, Description, and Cx Sequence: This table identifies the key project phases and the major Cx activities associated with each phase.
Cx Forms: A sample of the checklist and testing forms to be completed.
The owner, design-build (DB) contractor, and Cx specialist (CS) contractor shall review the Cx Plan. The owner approved document will be distributed to the Cx Team for reference and action. As changes or modifications to the Cx Plan are identified by the team and approved by the Cx Program Manager (Cx PM) and the Cx Authority
(CA), the changes are recorded in the Revision History, incorporated into the Cx Plan and the Cx Plan is redistributed.
Commissioning Team
The Cx team, through coordinated action, is responsible for implementing the commissioning process. Cx team members are directly involved in the design, construction, testing, operations and maintenance processes and activities. Members of the Cx team include:
Commissioning Program Manager (Cx PM) o Commissioning Specialist, Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (CS-MEP) o Commissioning Specialist, Building Envelope (CS-BE) o Commissioning Specialist, Fire Protection (CS-FP)
Building Owner/Operator (BO) Team

Commissioning Team Roles
The general roles for members of the Cx team are as follows. Specific responsibilities of Cx team members during each phase of commissioning will be described in later sections of the Cx Plan.
Cx PM: Provides management and oversight of the Cx activities of the CS-MEP, CS-BE, and CS-FP on behalf of the Facilities Services Directorate (FSD). The Cx PM establishes Cx strategies and protocols and directs CS participation in the Cx process.
BO: Representative of PRLB and PBMO, MC, or building manager at other DOD sites in the NCR provides direction and guidance to the CxT on behalf of the BO. BO representatives provide input on
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) issues, witness the check-out, start-up and testing of selected systems and participate in dispute resolution.
CS: The CS-MEP, CS-BE, and CS-FP assist the CA with the execution of Cx tasks on behalf of the Cx
PM. Typical tasks performed by the CS include review of design and construction submittals, development of pre-functional checklists (PFCs) and functional performance tests (FPTs) used by the Cx team to verify systems meet performance requirements; witnessing conduction of FPTs by the DB Team and OGCs, recording and reviewing the results and makes recommendations to the CA and BO as appropriate; and maintaining the Cx deficiency log for the Cx team. The CS reviews project documents from a Cx perspective and makes recommendations to the CA and BO.
CA: Facilitates the Cx process on behalf of FSD. The CA is responsible for management and oversight of the Cx process. The CA coordinates the efforts of the Cx team members in the execution of Cx Tasks.
The CA coordinates dispute resolution and provides the final acceptance of Cx activities. The CA establishes communication norms and facilitates information flow for the Cx process.
DB-CTL: Facilitates the Cx process on behalf of the DB Team (DB-A/E, DB-M, DB-E, DB-FP and DB-
TAB) contractors. The DB-CTL ensures the DB Team integrates Cx into the construction process and schedules. The DB-CTL is responsible for the coordination of Cx activities with Other Government
Contractors (OGCs), e.g., Vertical Transportation contractor, and other members of the Cx Team.
Department of Defense Page 6
Commissioning Scope of Work
For building systems and equipment not included in the Cx Plan’s scope of Cx the DB will develop detailed, equipment and system specific testing procedures and submit to the CA for approval a minimum of 30 days prior to equipment/system start-up and checkout. Appendix A shows functional performance test sample and failure rates.
Commissioning Project Phases
The Cx process begins before the design phase, when design and operating intent are documented. The process continues through the design, construction, acceptance and warranty phases. Activities during these phases will include Cx focused design reviews, submittal reviews, development and implementation of pre-functional checklists, development of functional performance tests, systems installation and testing, System Operations and
Maintenance Manuals (SOMMs) compilation and delivery, training of building operations and maintenance personnel, the preparation and submission of final “as-built” documents and deferred and seasonal testing. The major phases of the Cx process are:
Design
Construction
Testing and Acceptance
Warranty and Deferred/Seasonal Testing
The methodology to be used for each phase is presented in the following table. The table also includes a synopsis of the Cx sequence associated with the phase.

Commissioning Forms
The following table represents typical forms and the purpose of the forms that will be utilized during the commissioning process:
COMMISSIONING FORMS
Form Purpose
Design Review Comment Utilized to document comments and track resolution at each design submission.
Comments are typically related to conformance to the RFP, design intent, commission-ability and O&M related requirements.
Meeting Minutes Forms include meeting agenda, meeting attendance sheet and meeting minutes.
Regular commissioning meetings will be held through the project. Meeting Items will be documented with responsible parties and due dates assigned. Meeting minutes will be distributed to the Cx Team.
Submittal Review Comment Utilized to document comments related to construction submittals per the submittal register including product data, shop drawings, O&M Data, SOMMs, training plans, and record documents as it relates to commissioning.
Master Equipment List (MEL) The master equipment list identifies all equipment subject to the commissioning process. The format of the MEL is defined in the SOMMs and is utilized to track the Cx process and provide baseline data for the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), MAXIMO.
Field Reports Site observations will be conducted and documented periodically during the construction phase to assess progress of the work and conformance to the contract documents relative to commissioning.
Pre-Functional Checklists (PFCs) A PFC is prepared for each piece of commissioned equipment and is uniquely identified. PFCs provide a documented means to verify that the proper piece of equipment has been installed and checked out by the installing contractor and verified by the DB. PFCs include nameplate data, installation checks and startup and documentation checks.
Functional Performance Test (FPT) Procedures and Integrated Systems Tests (IST)
The intent of the functional performance test is to provide a functional demonstration of the control and operational sequences of the various systems within the performance criteria defined by the RFP and the design intent. This may include testing under various modes of operation such as, startup, normal operation, shutdown, power failure, fire alarm conditions and other building specific operations.
Issues Log Incomplete work or deficiencies discovered in PFCs, FPTs, or ISTs will be documented on the issues log. Issues will be corrected by the responsible contractors and re-tested or witnessed to produce satisfactory results prior to proceeding to the next stage of the Commissioning process.
Commissioning Report The final commissioning report summarizes the results of the commissioning process and discusses variances between design intent and the as-tested conditions and identifies any special operational or maintenance issues noted during commissioning. This report provides an evaluation of the systems operations and can serve as a future reference document during the operation of the facility systems.
The Pentagon utilizes a database application, the QuiCx Project Delivery System, to manage and track the commissioning process and documentation through all phases of the project. Commissioning team members may utilize this system as required in the performance of the commissioning activities for the project.
