About this file

This is a Total Building Commissioning specification (Section 01 91 00.15 22) for a production facility repairs project (SIOP 1740579) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine. The document was amended on 03-16-2026.

The specification requires comprehensive commissioning activities for HVAC systems, plumbing systems, utility systems, electrical systems (Types I and II), and building envelope systems. Key commissioning deliverables include Design Phase and Construction Phase Interim and Final Commissioning Plans, Pre-Functional Checklists, Functional Performance Test (FPT) Checklists, Construction Submittal Review Reports, Site Observation Reports, Certified Certificates of Readiness, training plans and execution, and a Final Commissioning Report. The commissioning team structure includes a Lead Commissioning Specialist, Commissioning Specialists (mechanical, electrical), Designers of Record, Installing Contractors with specialized sub-contractors, and Equipment Suppliers. The specification mandates ASHRAE 90.1 - IP (2019 with subsequent errata and addenda through 2022) compliance. Testing requirements include 100-percent testing for complex systems such as HVAC systems, chilled water systems, and building automation systems, with 20-percent sampling for systems with identical control sequences. Construction Phase activities must occur during a single continuous period, while Post-Construction (Warranty) Phase activities are required between eight and ten months after beneficial occupancy. The specification establishes specific timelines for submittals, meetings, and reporting, with the Lead Commissioning Specialist serving as the single point of contact with the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative.
