PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST REVIEW

Review and provide written comments on draft construction checklists. CxA will create required draft construction checklists and provide them to Contractor. Return draft construction checklist review comments within 10 days of receipt.

When review comments have been resolved, the CxA will provide final construction checklists, marked "Approved for Use, (date)." Use only construction checklists marked "Approved for Use, (date)."

3.2 COMMISSIONING TESTING PREPARATION

Certify that electrical systems, subsystems, and equipment have been installed, calibrated, and started and that they are operating according to the Contract Documents and approved shop drawings and submittals.

Certify that electrical instrumentation and control systems have been completed and calibrated, that they are operating according to the Contract Documents and approved shop drawings and submittals, and that pretest set points have been recorded.

Set systems, subsystems, and equipment into operating mode to be tested according to approved test procedures (for example, normal shutdown, normal auto position, normal manual position, unoccupied cycle, emergency, and alarm conditions).

3.3 COMMISSIONING TEST CONDITIONS

Perform tests using design conditions, whenever possible. Simulated conditions may, with approval of the Contracting Officer, be imposed using an artificial load when it is impractical to test under design conditions. Before simulating conditions, calibrate testing instruments.

SECTION 26 08 01.01 00 Page 6

Provide equipment to simulate loads. Set simulated conditions as directed by CxA and document simulated conditions and methods of simulation.

After tests, return configurations and settings to normal operating conditions. Cx test procedures may direct that set points be altered when simulating conditions is impractical. Cx test procedures may direct that sensor values be altered with a signal generator when design or simulating conditions and altering set points are impractical.

If tests cannot be completed because of a deficiency outside the scope of the electrical system, document the deficiency and report it to the Contracting Officer. After deficiencies are resolved, reschedule tests.

If seasonal testing is specified, complete appropriate initial performance tests and documentation and schedule seasonal tests.
