SECTION 01500 – CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. General: This section includes general requirements near end of Contract Time, in preparation for substantial completion, final acceptance, final payment, normal termination of contract, occupancy and similar actions evidencing completion of the work.

Specific requirements for individual units of work are specified in other specification sections.

Time of closeout is directly related to "Substantial Completion", and therefore may be either a single time period for entire work or a series of time periods for individual parts of the work which have been noted as substantially complete at different dates.

1.2 PREREQUISITES TO SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION

A. General: Prior to requesting inspection for certification of substantial completion (for either entire work or portions thereof):

1. Provide final record documents including chiller and pump factory startup documents for the entire project of portion thereof.

2. Provide operating and maintenance manuals.

3. Provide training/instructions to Owner maintenance personnel.

4. Start-up testing of all systems.

5. Testing, balancing, adjusting and commissioning of all systems.

6. Discontinue (or change over) and remove from project site temporary facilities and services, along with construction tools and facilities and similar elements.

7. In progress payment request, coincident with or first following date claimed, show either 95% completion for portion of work claimed as "substantially complete", or list incomplete items, value of work not completed, and reasons for being incomplete. Include supporting documentation for completion as indicated in these contract documents.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES 01500-12

B. Inspection Procedures: Upon receipt of Contractor's request, the Design Professional will either proceed with inspection or advise Contractor of prerequisites not fulfilled. Following initial inspection, the Design Professional will note substantial completion, or advise Contractor of work which must be performed and repeat inspection when requested and assured that work has been substantially completed. Results of completed inspection will form initial "punch-list" for final acceptance.

1.3 PREREQUISITES TO FINAL ACCEPTANCE

A. General: Prior to requesting final inspection for certification of final acceptance and final payment, as required by General Provisions and Conditions, complete the following and list known exceptions (if any) in request:

1. Submit final payment request with final releases and supporting documentation not previously submitted and accepted.

2. Submit copy of final punch-list of itemized work to be completed or corrected, stating that each item has been completed or otherwise resolved for acceptance.

3. Complete final cleaning up requirements, including touch-up painting of marred surfaces.

4. Touch-up and otherwise repair and restore marred exposed finishes.

B. Reinspection Procedure: Upon receipt of Contractor's notice that the work has been completed, including punch-list items resulting from earlier inspections, and excepting incomplete items delayed because of acceptable circumstances, the Design Professional will reinspect the work. Upon completion of reinspection, the Design Professional will either prepare certificate of final acceptance or advise Contractor of work not completed or obligations not fulfilled as required for final acceptance. If necessary, procedure will be repeated.

C. Record Sample Submittal: Immediately prior to date(s) of substantial completion, the Design Professional and the Owner will meet with Contractor at site, and will determine which (if any) of submitted samples maintained by Contractor during progress of the work are to be retained by the Owner. Comply with the Design Professional instructions for packaging, identification marking, and delivery.

2.1 INSTRUCTIONS TO MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL

A. Where instructions to maintenance personnel are specified in other sections furnish, without additional expense to the Owner, the services of competent instructors, who will give full instruction in the care, adjustment, and operation of

B. Each instructor shall be familiar with all parts of the system on which he is to give instruction and shall be trained in operating theory as well as in practical operation and maintenance work. Employ factory trained instructors wherever practical and available.

C. Unless otherwise required or approved, give instruction during the regular work week prior to the equipment being accepted and turned over to the Owner for regular operation. Where significant changes or modifications in equipment are made under the terms of the guarantee, provide additional instruction as may be necessary to acquaint the operating personnel of the changes or modifications.

When more than four man-days (32 hours) of instruction are specified, approximately half of the time shall be classroom instruction and the other half with the equipment or system.

D. Utilize the maintenance manual for the system or equipment as a text for instruction. Instruction shall include a review of the maintenance manual.

E. Upon completion, obtain written acknowledgment from the Owner that the required instruction was completed.

Conditions and Supplementary General Conditions.

B. This Division of the specifications includes mechanical;

1. Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC).

1.02 INTENT

A. It is the intention of these specifications and drawings to call for finished work, tested, and ready for operation. Wherever the word "provide" is used, it shall mean "furnish and install complete and ready for use."

B. Minor details not usually shown or specified, but necessary for the proper installation and operation, shall be included in the work, the same as if herein specified or shown.

C. The term “Basis of Design” used throughout this document shall be understood to mean a particular manufacturer’s equipment (as scheduled specifically on the drawings or specifications) has been used as the basis by the Design Engineer to establish physical dimensions, quality, and performance required, in addition to providing a basis for interaction with other ancillary components and/or other trades. Therefore, it shall be understood that use of a piece of equipment other than that identified as the Basis of Design may impact performance of an overall engineered system or may require revisions to ancillary interfacing equipment, and thus any manufacturer’s equipment other than that listed as Basis of Design shall require written approval via Addendum prior to bid except where the manufacturer’s name is specifically listed in these specifications as a pre-approved substitute or an accepted manufacturer. All substitutes, pre-approved substitutes, accepted manufacturers, and/or Basis of Design are subject to all requirements of quality, physical characteristics (i.e., dimension, sound, etc), and performance, etc., as set forth in these specifications and contract documents.
