2.3 Communication Protocol, Coordination, Meetings, Management and Submittals

2.3.1 Commissioning Kickoff Meeting A commissioning kickoff meeting is planned and conducted by the CxA within 30 days of the beginning of construction. In attendance are the respective representatives of the GC, PM, A/E, EC, MC, CC and TAB. At the meeting the commissioning process is reviewed with management and reporting roles finalized. The Cx Plan is reviewed, process questions are addressed, work products list is discussed. Also covered are the general list of each party’s responsibilities, who is responsible to develop the startup plan for each piece of equipment, and the initial proposed commissioning schedule

JULY 2020


put forth by the GC with input from the Subs. The meeting provides the CxA additional information needed to update the Cx Plan including the initial commissioning schedule. The CxA takes notes from the meeting and distributes meeting minutes.

2.3.2 Coordination of Commissioning During Construction In general, the CxA coordinates the commissioning activities and reports to the PM. All members work together to fulfill their contracted responsibilities and meet the objectives of the Contract Documents. CxA attends selected job-site construction meetings in order to remain informed on construction progress and to update parties involved in commissioning. The CM/GC provide the CxA with information regarding substitutions, change orders and any other instructions which may affect commissioning equipment, systems or schedule. CxA may also review construction meeting minutes for the same purpose. As construction progresses, additional meetings between various parties relating to commissioning may be scheduled by the CxA through the CM on an as-needed basis.

2.3.3 Initial Submittals and Documentation The CxA provides all Subs responsible for commissioned equipment with commissioning documentation requirements for their respective equipment and systems through the CM. This data request typically coincides and complements the normal A/E submittal/shop drawing process. At a minimum, this request includes equipment installation requirements and start-up procedures, O&M data, performance data and control drawings. The CxA reviews and approves submissions relative to commissioning requirements and not for general contract compliance which is the A/E’s responsibility. Submittals to the CxA do not constitute compliance for submittals for the O&M manuals. CxA may request additional information or clarification from CM, Subs or A/E by submitting a written request to any of those parties.

2.3.4 Communication Protocols The following protocols will be used on this project.

Issue Protocol

For requests for information (RFI) or formal documentation requests:

The CxA goes through the A/E, PM or CM.

For minor or verbal information and clarifications:

The CxA goes direct to the informed party.

For notifying contractors of deficiencies: The CxA documents deficiencies through the CM, but may discuss deficiency issues with contractors prior to notifying the CM.

JULY 2020


For scheduling functional tests or training: The CxA may provide input for and do some minor coordination of training and testing, but does not do any scheduling.

For scheduling commissioning meetings: The CxA selects the date and schedules through the CM.

For making a request for significant changes:

The CxA has no authority to issue change orders.

For making small changes in specified The CxA may not make changes to specified sequences without

sequences of operations: approval from the A/E.

Subcontractors disagreeing with requests or interpretations by the CxA shall:

Try to resolve with the CxA first. Then work through CM/GC who will work with CxA and subcontractors to resolve the situation.

3. Commissioning Tasks

3.1 Overview of Commissioning Tasks The following tasks comprise the commissioning work:

1. Commissioning kickoff meeting 2. Prepare pre-functional checklists (PFC) with information from Subs, tests and startup,

witness select tests 3. Develop functional test and verification procedures 4. Functional performance testing (FPT) 5. Review O&M manuals and warranties 6. Verify training and orientation of Owner personnel 7. Compile commissioning record 8. Prepare final commissioning report

3.2 Description of Commissioning Tasks

3.2.1 Pre-functional Checklists, Tests and Startup Pre-functional checklists (PFC) are important to ensure that the equipment and systems are hooked up and operational and that functional performance testing may proceed without unnecessary delays. Each piece of equipment receives full pre-functional checkout by the Contractor. No sampling strategies are used. In general, the pre- functional testing for a given system must be successfully completed prior to formal functional performance testing of equipment or subsystems of the given system.

Pre-functional checklists are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for initial operation (e.g., oil levels OK, fan belt tension, labels affixed, gages in place, sensor calibration, etc.). However, some pre-functional checklist items entail simple testing of the function of a component, a piece of

JULY 2020


equipment or system (such as measuring the voltage imbalance on a three phase pump motor of a chiller system). The word pre-functional refers to before functional testing. Pre-functional checklists augment and are combined with the manufacturer’s start-up checklist.

The CxA witnesses a percentage of the pre-functional testing except for testing of larger or more critical pieces of equipment. Sampling strategies are listed below.

3.2.1.1 Start-up Plan / Pre-functional checklists The following procedures will be used for this project: (the Sub is responsible for the plan development):

1. The Sub obtains manufacturer installation, start-up and checkout data, including actual field checkout sheets used by the field technicians for each piece of equipment in each system to be commissioned.

2. The Sub copies all pages with important instructional data and procedures (not covered in manufacturer field checkout sheets) from the start-up and checkout manuals and adds a signature line in the column by each procedure.

3. The information is sent to CM for review. 4. The CM sends the reviewed manufacturer’s to the CxA for review. 5. The CxA reviews, adapts and enhances, if necessary, the pre-functional

checklists. CxA also adds a cover sheet to each pre-functional checklist. If more information is required the CxA will transmit these requests to the CM who will in turn distribute the requests to the Subs.

6. For systems that may not have adequate manufacturer start-up and checkout procedures, particularly for components being integrated with other equipment, the Sub should provide the added necessary detail and documenting format to the CxA for approval, prior to execution.

7. The CxA transmits the full Start-up Plan to the CM who in turn distributes it to the relevant Subs for their review and use.

3.2.1.2 Execution of Checklists and Startup Four weeks prior to startup, the Subs and vendors schedule startup and initial checkout with the CM and CxA. The startup and initial checkout are directed and executed by the Sub or vendor. The CxA observes, at minimum, the procedures for each piece of primary equipment, unless there are multiple units, when a sampling strategy is used. For components of equipment, (e.g., VAV indoor terminal units), the CxA observes a sampling of the pre-functional and start-up procedures. To document the process of startup and checkout, the site technician performing the

JULY 2020


line item task initials and dates each paragraph of procedures in the “Startup Plan” and checks off items on the pre-functional and manufacturer field checkout sheets, as they are completed. Only individuals having direct knowledge of a line item being completed shall check or initial the forms. The Subs and vendors execute the checklists and tests and submit a signed copy of the completed start-up and pre-functional tests and checklists to the CxA. The CxA may review pre-functional checklists in progress, as necessary. 3.2.1.3 Sampling Strategy for CxA Observation of Pre-functional Checkout and Startup The following table provides a tentative list of the equipment and how much of the pre- functional checkout and startup work will be witnessed by the commissioning authority.

Equipment or System Fraction To Be

Observed by CxA

AHU’s, ERV’s 50%

Pumps, VFD’s 25%

Exhaust Fans 25%

Specialty Exhaust Systems 25% or one of each type

Terminal units 10%

Building automation system Observe 4 hours of checkout and calibration

TAB work Observe 4 hours of TAB

Other misc. equipment As necessary

3.2.1.4 Deficiencies and Non-Conformance

The Subs clearly list any outstanding items of the initial start-up and pre-functional procedures that were not completed successfully at the bottom of the procedures form or on an attached sheet. The procedures form and deficiencies are provided to the CxA within two days of test completion. The CxA works with the Subs and vendors to correct and retest deficiencies or uncompleted items, involving the CM and others as necessary. The installing Subs or vendors correct all areas that are deficient or incomplete according to the checklists and tests. The CxA recommends approval of the startup and initial checkout of each system to the PM.

JULY 2020


3.2.1.5 Phased Commissioning

Because of project size, this project will not require startup and initial checkout to be executed in phases.

3.2.1.6 TAB The TAB contractor submits the outline of the TAB plan and approach to the CxA and the controls contractor eight weeks prior to starting the TAB. Included in the approach, is an explanation of the intended use of the building control system. The CxA reviews the plan and approach for understanding and coordination issues and may comment, but does not “approve.” The controls contractor reviews the feasibility of using the building control system for assistance in the TAB work. The TAB submits weekly written reports of discrepancies, contract interpretation requests and lists of completed tests to the CM and CxA. This facilitates quicker resolution of problems and will result in a more complete TAB before functional testing begins. TAB work will not begin until the control system has been pre-functionally tested and point-to-point checks performed and approved by the CxA. 3.2.1.7 Controls Checkout Plan The controls contractor develops and submits a written step-by-step plan to the CxA which describes the process they intend to follow in checking out the control system and the forms on which they will document the process. The controls contractor will also meet with the TAB contractor prior to the start of TAB and review the TAB plan to determine the capabilities of the control system for use in TAB. The controls contractor will provide the TAB with any necessary unique instruments for setting terminal unit boxes and instruct TAB in their use (handheld control system interface for use around the building during TAB, etc.). The controls contractor shall also provide a technician qualified to operate the controls to assist the TAB contractor in performing TAB. All CxA-required controls pre-functional checklists, calibrations, start-up and selected functional tests of the system shall be completed and approved by the CxA prior to TAB. The controls contractor shall execute the tests and trend logs assigned to them and remain on site for assistance for mechanical system functional tests as specified. 3.2.2 Development of Functional Test and Verification Procedures

3.2.2.1 Overview Functional performance testing (FPT) is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation. Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied, varying outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc. The systems are run

JULY 2020


through all of the control system’s sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. The CxA and A/E develop the functional test procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees and documents the actual testing, which is performed by the installing contractor or vendor.

3.2.2.2 Scope of Testing A list of systems to be commissioned as part of this project are given in Section 1.4 of this commissioning plan.

3.2.2.3 Development Process Before test procedures are written, the CxA obtains all requested documentation and a current list of change orders affecting equipment or systems, including an updated points list, control sequences and set points. The CxA develops specific test procedures to verify proper operation of each piece of equipment and system, using the testing requirements in the specifications. The CxA obtains clarification, as needed, from contractors and the A/E regarding sequences and operation to develop these tests. Prior to execution, the CxA provides a copy of the primary equipment tests to the installing Sub (via the CM) who reviews the tests for feasibility, safety, warranty and equipment protection. Blank copies of the procedures are input into the O&M manuals for later use by Owner’s operations staff. Functional testing and verification may be achieved by manual testing (persons manipulate the equipment and observe performance) or by monitoring the performance and analyzing the results using the control system’s trend log capabilities or by stand- alone data loggers. The CxA follows the Specifications when given and uses judgment where needed to determine which method is most appropriate. According to the Specifications, not all pieces of identical equipment receive in-depth testing. The CxA reviews factory acceptance tests and determines what further testing may be required to comply with the Specifications and design intent. Redundancy is minimized. Life safety systems and specialty systems such as the fire alarm and security systems are systems for which the CxA does not write procedures or document execution. The CxA reviews and approves documentation format of these tests prior to execution, but does not develop the procedures or document their execution. Upon review of the applicable test procedures, the CxA, at their discretion, may require more in-depth testing or information from the Subs and Vendors. 3.2.2.4 Testing Schedule The CM develops the functional testing schedule with input from the CxA to provide the contractors with a better idea of where functional testing lies in the schedule, and a list of what issues are preventing the start of testing, which contractors are needed for each test and how much time might be expected from them. This is developed

JULY 2020


after most equipment has been started up and when functional testing dates are not too far off. The testing schedule overview is provided to the Contractors to assist in moving more efficiently to functional testing.

3.2.3 Execution of Functional Testing Procedures

3.2.3.1 Overview and Process

The CM schedules functional performance tests (FPT) in coordination with the CxA and affected Subs. For any given system, prior to performing FPT, the CxA and CM waits until the pre- functional checklist has been submitted with the necessary signatures, confirming that the system is ready for functional testing. The CxA oversees, witnesses and documents the functional testing of all equipment and systems according to the Specifications and the Cx Plan. The Subs execute the tests. The control system is tested before it is used to verify performance of other components or systems. The air balancing and water balancing is completed and debugged before FPT of air-related or water-related equipment or systems. Testing proceeds from components to subsystems to systems and finally to interlocks and connections between systems. The CxA documents the results of the test. 3.2.3.2 Deficiencies and Retesting Corrections of minor deficiencies identified are made during the tests at the discretion

of the CxA. The CxA records the results of the test on the procedure or test form. Deficiencies or non-conformance issues are noted and reported to the CM. Subs correct deficiencies, notify the CxA and certify correction prior to re-testing. The CxA schedules retesting through the CM. Decisions regarding deficiencies and corrections are made at as low a level as possible, preferably between CxA and the CM & Sub. For areas in dispute, final authority resides with the Owner’s PM and A/E. The CxA recommends acceptance of each test to the PM. The PM gives final approval on each test. 3.2.3.3 Facility Staff Participation The Owner’s facilities operating staff are encouraged to attend and participate in the testing process. The CxA will notify the Owner/PM, who will then notify the facility staff when the commissioning events will occur.

3.2.3.4 Sampling Multiple identical pieces of non-life-safety or otherwise non-critical equipment may be functionally tested using a sampling strategy. The Specifications specify the sampling strategies that are used on this project.

3.2.4 O&M Manuals and Warranties

3.2.4.1 Standard O&M Manuals The CxA reviews the O&M manuals, documentation and red line as-builts for systems that were commissioned to verify general compliance and completeness. The CxA recommends approval and acceptance of these sections of the O&M manuals to the PM. The CxA also reviews each equipment warranty and verifies that all requirements to keep the warranty valid are clearly stated. 3.2.4.2 Commissioning Record The CxA will compile, organize and index the following commissioning data into labeled, indexed and tabbed three-ring binders and deliver it with the Owner to be included with the O&M manuals. Correspondence, meeting minutes, progress reports, miscellaneous notes will not be included. List of required information shall be provided to CM by CxA for CM to obtain from subs.
