TOTAL BUILDING COMMISSIONING
10/18
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 SUMMARY
a. Commissioning is a proactive, logical and systematic process of ensuring that all building systems perform interactively according to the design intent and the Government's operational needs. This is achieved beginning in the design phase, documenting design intent, and continuing through construction, acceptance and the warranty period with actual verification of performance. The commissioning process shall encompass and coordinate the traditionally separate functions of system documentation, equipment startup, control system functionality, testing and balancing, performance testing and Government training.
b. Commissioning goals are to achieve the following specific objectives according to the Contract Documents:
(1) Verify that applicable equipment and systems are installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations and to industry accepted minimum standards and that they receive adequate operational checkout by the installing Contractors.
(2) Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems.
(3) The commissioning process does not take away from or reduce the responsibility of the system designers, installing Contractors, or manufacturer's representative to provide a finished and properly functioning product.
(4) The General Contractor and Installing Contractors retain their full contract document responsibilities in providing a finished and fully functional facility. Commissioning does not take away from or reduce these responsibilities.
(5) Any issues that may require extensive troubleshooting to resolve shall be covered by the responsible Contractors' budget without submission of a change order(s). The Construction Team will collaborate to determine the best course of action which will resolve any issues. The Owner (Government) shall not be responsible for the cost associated with this effort.
(6) Commissioning requires proactive project team involvement and proactive participation to deliver effective and successful result for all concerned.
(7) Completion of commissioning shall be accomplished as a prerequisite for substantial completion.
(8) All guarantees and warranties shall not begin until final acceptance of the systems and equipment by the Government.
Acceptance requires, at a minimum, complete systems commissioning.
SECTION 01 91 00.15 Page 1
(9) Commissioning consists of the Commissioning Agent (CxG) systematically and rigorously:
(a) Assisting the General Contractor with the development of an accurate and written design intent document.
(b) Documenting that components and systems to be commissioned have been installed, started up, adjusted properly and readied prior to starting functional performance testing.
(c) Reviewing Coordination Drawings during the General Design and Construction stages.
(d) Verifying completion of required Contractor testing.
(e) Reviewing project operation and maintenance manuals for content and completeness.
(f) Witness equipment start-up.
(g) Reviewing project test and balance report submittals for content and completeness. Spot checks of the TAB report will be performed at the discretion of the Government and Commissioning Agent.
(h) Conducting functional performance tests on all applicable equipment to verify and document proper operation of critical building systems.
(i) Identifying and documenting performance deficiencies after initial functional performance testing and conducting re-testing to verify that deficiencies have been satisfactorily corrected.
(j) Delivering a final written report documenting the commissioning results achieved.
c. Definitions:
Owner's Project Requirements: A document or several documents that detail the functional requirements of a project and the expectations of how it will be used and operated. These include project goals, measurable performance criteria, cost considerations, benchmarks, success criteria, and supporting information.
Approval: Acceptance that a material or system has been properly installed and is functioning in tested modes according to the Contract Documents.
Architect/Engineer (A/E): Prime consultant (architect) and sub-consultants who comprise the design team, generally the Architect of Record and any Design Sub-consultants.
Basis of Design (BOD): A document that records the concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to meet the Owner's Project Requirements and to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines.
Commissioning Authority (CxG): USACE is designated as the
SECTION 01 91 00.15 Page 2
Commissioning Authority (CxG) and provides oversight assurance of the entire commissioning process.
Commissioning Specialist for the Government (CxG): CxG is considered the CxG for compliance with USGBC's LEED NC v.4 Rating System.
CxG directs and coordinates day-to-day commissioning activities including BECx activities. CxG directly contracted by the Design and Construction Agent, but not affiliated with the construction contractor, and is the entity responsible for government oversight of the commissioning process.
Commissioning Specialist for the Design Phase (CxD): CxD directly contracted by the A/E, and is the individual responsible for coordinating the commissioning activities during the design phase. CxD serves as the CxG for Design and Construction.
Commissioning Specialist for the Construction Phase (CxC): The CxC must be a certified commissioning provider with the experience and expertise in the commissioning of facilities of a scope and complexity comparable to the CEAC Project. The CxC must be employed regularly in building commissioning and is the individual responsible for coordinating the commissioning activities during the construction and post-occupancy phases. CxG could serve as CxC during construction and post-occupancy phases.
Commissioning Issue: A condition in the installation or function of a material, assembly, or system that is not in compliance with the Contract Documents (that is, does not perform properly or is not complying with the Design Intent). Any deficiency, deviation from the Design Intent.
Commissioning Plan: A document prepared and updated by the Cx Authority that outlines the organization, schedule, allocation of resources, and documentation requirements of the Commissioning Process.
Commissioning Team (CxT): The group of parties involved in the commissioning process for any given system. The group is typically comprised of representatives from:
Contract Documents: Documents binding on parties involved in construction of this Project (Drawings, Specification, Change Orders, Amendments, Contracts, etc.).
Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc): Responsible for performing its services primarily within two primary stages of the Project:
The Design Stage and the Construction Stage (although the CMc may also be involved with Tenant moves during the Tenant Occupancy Stage).
Contractor: As used herein, 'Contractor' is a general reference to the installing Party and can therefore refer to the CMc, GC, subcontractors, or vendors as inferred by its usage.
Deficiency: Condition of a building envelope material or system that is not in compliance with Contract Documents (that is, does not perform properly or is not complying with design intent).
DDB: Design-Bid-Build project.
SECTION 01 91 00.15 Page 3
Manufacturer's Technical Representative: An individual in direct employ of the manufacturer of the applicable material, component, or system who is technically qualified in the judgment of CMc and CxG to perform the applicable work for which the reference is made.
Mock-up: The activities where systems or materials are initially constructed and tested.
Owner: Owner and its representatives and consultants (US Army, USACE, USMA, etc.).
RFI: Request for Information.
Simulated Condition: Condition created for testing component or system (e.g., applying pressure differential across the building envelope concurrent with water spray to simulate a wind driven rain).
Specialty subcontractors: Any other installation subcontractors or suppliers of materials or systems.
Specifications: Construction specifications of Contract Documents.
Substantial Completion: As defined in the Government-Contractor agreement. This milestone will coincide with the end of the Construction Period and the acceptance of the Property, or portions thereof, by the Owner. This milestone also coincides with the start of the warranty period.
Sub-contractor: Contractors of CMc, and their Sub-contractors, who provide, install, and test components and systems.
Testing Agency: An independent agency, fully accredited by the appropriate governing body for each of the materials, components, or systems to be tested or evaluated for compliance with requirements of the Contract Documents. The Testing Agency shall submit qualifications for review and acceptance by the A/E, CMc, and CxG.
USACE: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
USMA: U.S. Military Academy.
Water penetration: Appearance of any amount of uncontrolled water, other than condensation, on indoor face of any part of wall and fenestration systems, including in concealed spaces adjacent to or below fenestration systems. Water contained within drained flashings, gutters, and sills is not considered water leakage unless deemed excessive and does not readily drain at completion of test. This definition superceeds those in referenced ASTM and AAMA standards.
