151 11/26/2025 How literally should we interpret spec 01 45 00, 3.04.A.4 Electrical and Mechanical Testing: Provide and pay for an independent testing firm to perform electrical and mechanical testing. Is it expected/required an independent agency would do such routine tasks as pneumatic air testing, perform any static head pressure tests on plumbing pipes, perform the megger testing on conductors, perform a hydrostatic test on fire suppression piping, etc? We feel the verbiage in this paragraph should be more defined because there is an excessive amount of routine testing that is normally performed by the respective MEP trades, which usually the owner's reps are invited to witness, rather than requiring a different entity to become involved.

Test all systems installed by this project as indicated by division 02 through 32 specifications.

Is a full project schedule expected, or just a completion date? Does completion date become contractually binding?
