01 32 16.15 - 8
March 2011
660-CSI-102
strikes, unusual weather, and other delays will not relieve the Contractor from the requirements specified unless the conditions are shown on the CPM as the direct cause for delaying the project beyond the acceptable limits. 2. Delays in submittals, or deliveries, or work stoppage are encountered which make rescheduling of the work necessary. 3. The schedule does not represent the actual prosecution and progress of the project. 4. When there is, or has been, a substantial revision to the activity/event costs regardless of the cause for these revisions. B. CPM revisions made under this paragraph which affect the previously approved computer-produced schedules for Government furnished equipment, vacating of areas by the VA Facility, contract phase(s) and sub phase(s), utilities furnished by the Government to the Contractor, or any other previously contracted item, shall be furnished in writing to the Contracting Officer for approval. C. Contracting Officer's approval for the revised project schedule and all relevant data is contingent upon compliance with all other paragraphs of this section and any other previous agreements by the Contracting Officer or the VA representative. D. The cost of revisions to the project schedule resulting from contract changes will be included in the proposal for changes in work as specified in FAR 52.243 4 (Changes) and VAAR 852.236 88 (Changes Supplemental), and will be based on the complexity of the revision or contract change, man hours expended in analyzing the change, and the total cost of the change. E. The cost of revisions to the Project Schedule not resulting from contract changes is the responsibility of the Contractor. 1.12 ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT COMPLETION: A. The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this contract. Request for an extension of the contract completion date by the Contractor shall be supported with a justification, CPM data and supporting evidence as the COTR may deem necessary for determination as to whether or not the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the contract. Submission of proof based on revised activity/event logic, durations (in work days) and costs is obligatory to any approvals. The schedule must clearly display that the Contractor has used, in full, all the float time available for the work involved in this request. The Contracting Officer's determination as to the total number of days of contract extension will be based upon the current computer-produced
01 32 16.15 - 9
March 2011
660-CSI-102
calendar-dated schedule for the time period in question and all other relevant information. B. Actual delays in activities/events which, according to the computerproduced calendar-dated schedule, do not affect the extended and predicted contract completion dates shown by the critical path in the network, will not be the basis for a change to the contract completion date. The Contracting Officer will within a reasonable time after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence, review the facts and advise the Contractor in writing of the Contracting Officer's decision. C. The Contractor shall submit each request for a change in the contract completion date to the Contracting Officer in accordance with the provisions specified under FAR 52.243 4 (Changes) and VAAR 852.236 88 (Changes Supplemental).

SECTION 01 91 00 GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS
PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 DESCRIPTION: A. This Section 01 91 00 GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS shall form the basis of the construction phase commissioning process and procedures. The Commissioning Agent shall add, modify, and refine
the commissioning procedures, as approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), to suit field conditions and actual manufacturer's equipment, incorporate test data and procedure results, and provide detailed scheduling for all commissioning tasks. B. Various sections of the project specifications require equipment startup, testing, and adjusting services. Requirements for startup, testing, and adjusting services specified in the Division 7, Division 21, Division 22, Division 23, Division 26, Division 27, Division 28, and Division 31 series sections of these specifications are intended to be provided in coordination with the commissioning services and are not intended to duplicate services. The Contractor shall coordinate the work required by individual specification sections with the commissioning services requirements specified herein. C. Where individual testing, adjusting, or related services are required in the project specifications and not specifically required by this commissioning requirements specification, the specified services shall be provided and copies of documentation, as required by those specifications shall be submitted to the VA and the Commissioning Agent to be indexed for future reference. D. Where training or educational services for VA are required and specified in other sections of the specifications, including but not limited to Division 7, Division 8, Division 21, Division 22, Division 23, Division 26, Division 27, Division 28, and Division 31 series sections of the specification, these services are intended to be provided in addition to the training and educational services specified herein. E. Commissioning is a systematic process of verifying that the building systems perform interactively according to the construction documents and the VAs operational needs. The commissioning process shall encompass and coordinate the system documentation, equipment startup,
01 91 00 - 1

control system calibration, testing and balancing, performance testing and training. Commissioning during the construction and postoccupancy phases is intended to achieve the following specific objectives according to the contract documents: 1. Verify that the applicable equipment and systems are installed in accordance with the contact documents and according to the manufacturer's recommendations. 2. Verify and document proper integrated performance of equipment and systems. 3. 4. Verify that Operations & Maintenance documentation is complete. Verify that all components requiring servicing can be accessed, serviced and removed without disturbing nearby components including ducts, piping, cabling or wiring. 5. Verify that the VAs operating personnel are adequately trained to enable them to operate, monitor, adjust, maintain, and repair building systems in an effective and energy-efficient manner. 6. Document the successful achievement of the commissioning objectives listed above. F. The commissioning process does not take away from or reduce the responsibility of the Contractor to provide a finished and fully functioning product. 1.2 CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS: A. For this construction project, the Department of Veterans Affairs contracts with a Contractor to provide construction services. The
contracts are administered by the VA Contracting Officer and the Resident Engineer as the designated representative of the Contracting Officer. On this project, the authority to modify the contract in
any way is strictly limited to the authority of the Contracting Officer and the Resident Engineer. B. In this structure, only two contract parties are recognized and communications on contractual issues are strictly limited to VA Resident Engineer and the Contractor. It is the practice of the VA
to require that communications between other parties to the contracts (Subcontractors and Vendors) be conducted through the Resident Engineer and Contractor. It is also the practice of the VA that
communications between other parties of the project (Commissioning Agent and Architect/Engineer) be conducted through the Resident Engineer.

C. Whole Building Commissioning is a process that relies upon frequent and direct communications, as well as collaboration between all parties to the construction process. By its nature, a high level of
communication and cooperation between the Commissioning Agent and all other parties (Architects, Engineers, Subcontractors, Vendors, third party testing agencies, etc) is essential to the success of the Commissioning effort. D. With these fundamental practices in mind, the commissioning process described herein has been developed to recognize that, in the execution of the Commissioning Process, the Commissioning Agent must develop effective methods to communicate with every member of the construction team involved in delivering commissioned systems while simultaneously respecting the exclusive contract authority of the Contracting Officer and Resident Engineer. Thus, the procedures
outlined in this specification must be executed within the following limitations: 1. No communications (verbal or written) from the Commissioning Agent shall be deemed to constitute direction that modifies the terms of any contract between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Contractor. 2. Commissioning Issues identified by the Commissioning Agent will be delivered to the Resident Engineer and copied to the designated Commissioning Representatives for the Contractor and subcontractors on the Commissioning Team for information only in order to expedite the communication process. These issues must
be understood as the professional opinion of the Commissioning Agent and as suggestions for resolution. 3. In the event that any Commissioning Issues and suggested resolutions are deemed by the Resident Engineer to require either an official interpretation of the construction documents or require a modification of the contract documents, the Contracting Officer or Resident Engineer will issue an official directive to this effect. 4. All parties to the Commissioning Process shall be individually responsible for alerting the Resident Engineer of any issues that they deem to constitute a potential contract change prior to acting on these issues.

SUMMARY: A. This Section includes general requirements that apply to implementation of commissioning without regard to systems, subsystems, and equipment being commissioned. B. The commissioning activities have been developed to support the VA requirements to meet guidelines for Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance.
1.5
DEFINITIONS: A. Architect: Includes Architect identified in the Contract for
Construction between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Contractor, plus consultant/design professionals responsible for design of fire suppression, plumbing, HVAC, controls for HVAC systems, electrical, communications, electronic safety and security, as well as other related systems. B. CxA: Commissioning Agent.
C. Commissioning Plan: a document that is an overall plan that outlines the commissioning process, commissioning team responsibilities, schedule for commissioning activities, and commissioning documents. D. Commissioning Issue: a condition in the installation or function of a component, piece of equipment or system that affects the system operations, maintenance, and/or repair. E. Commissioning Observation: a condition in the installation or function of a component, piece of equipment or system that may not be
01 91 00 - 4
March 2011
660-CSI-102
in compliance with the Contract Documents, or may not be in compliance with the manufacturers installation instruction, or may not be in compliance with generally accepted industry standards. F. Systems Functional Performance Test: a test, or tests, of the dynamic function and operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Systems Functional Performance Testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation (e.g., the chiller pump is tested interactively with the chiller functions to see if the pump ramps up and down to maintain the differential pressure setpoint). 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 through all the control systems sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. Traditional air or water test and balancing (TAB) is not Systems Functional Performance Testing, in the commissioning sense of the word. TABs primary work is setting up the system flows and
pressures as specified, while System Functional Performance Testing is verifying that the system has already been set up properly and is functioning in accordance with the Construction Documents. The Commissioning Agent develops the Systems Functional Performance Test Procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, witnesses, and documents the actual testing. is performed by the Contractor. Systems Functional Performance Testing Systems Functional Performance Tests
are performed after startups, control systems are complete and operational, TAB functions and Pre-Functional Checklists are complete. G. System: A system is defined as the entire set of components,
equipment, and subsystems which must be coordinated to work together during normal operation to produce results for which the system is designed. For example, air conditioning supply air is only one component of an entire system which provides comfort conditions for a building. Other related components are return air, exhaust air, steam supply, chilled water supply, refrigerant supply, hot water supply, controls and electrical service, etc. Another example of a system which involves several components of different disciplines is a boiler installation. Efficient and acceptable boiler operation
01 91 00 - 5
March 2011
660-CSI-102
depends upon the coordination and proper operation of the fuel supply, combustion air, controls, steam, feedwater supply, condensate return and other related components. H. Pre-Functional Checklist: a list of items provided by the Commissioning Agent to the Contractor that require inspection and elementary component tests conducted to verify proper installation of equipment. Pre-Functional Checklists are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for initial operation (e.g., belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gages in place, sensors calibrated, etc.). However, some Pre-Functional
Checklist items entail simple testing of the function of a component, a piece of equipment or system (such as measuring the voltage imbalance on a three-phase pump motor of a chiller system). The term
Pre-Functional refers to before Systems Functional Performance Testing. Pre-Functional Checklists augment and are combined with the
manufacturers startup checklist and the Contractors Quality Control checklists. I. Seasonal Functional Performance Testing: a test or tests that are deferred until the system will experience conditions closer to their design conditions. J. VA: Includes the Contracting Officer, Resident Engineer, or other authorized representative of the Department of Veterans Affairs. K. TAB: 1.6 Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing.

SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING: A. This paragraph applies to Systems Functional Performance Testing of systems for all referenced specification Divisions. B. Objectives and Scope: The objective of Systems Functional
Performance Testing is to demonstrate that each system is operating according to the Contract Documents. Systems Functional Performance Testing facilitates bringing the systems from a state of substantial completion to full dynamic operation. Additionally, during the testing process, areas of noncompliant performance are identified and corrected, thereby improving the operation and functioning of the systems. In general, each system shall be operated through all modes of operation (seasonal, occupied, unoccupied, warm-up, cool-down, part- and full-load, fire alarm and emergency power) where there is a specified system response. The Contractor shall verify each sequence in the sequences of operation. Proper responses to such modes and conditions as power failure, freeze condition, low oil pressure, no flow, equipment failure, etc. shall also be tested. C. Development of Systems Functional Performance Test Procedures: Before Systems Functional Performance Test procedures are written, the Contractor shall submit all requested documentation and a current list of change orders affecting equipment or systems, including an updated points list, program code, control sequences and parameters. Using the testing parameters and requirements found in the Contract Documents and approved submittals and shop drawings, the Commissioning Agent will develop specific Systems Functional Test Procedures to verify and document proper operation of each piece of equipment and system to be commissioned. The Contractor shall assist the Commissioning Agent in developing the Systems Functional Performance Test procedures as requested by the Commissioning Agent i.e. by answering questions about equipment, operation, sequences, etc. Prior to execution, the Commissioning Agent will provide a copy
01 91 00 - 46
March 2011
660-CSI-102
of the Systems Functional Performance Test procedures to the VA, the Architect/Engineer, and the Contractor, who shall review the tests for feasibility, safety, equipment and warranty protection. D. Purpose of Test Procedures: The purpose of each specific Systems
Functional Performance Test is to verify and document compliance with the stated criteria of acceptance given on the test form. Representative test formats and examples are found in the Commissioning Plan for this project. (The Commissioning Plan is issued as a separate document and is available for review.) The test
procedure forms developed by the Commissioning Agent will include, but not be limited to, the following information: 1. 2. 3. System and equipment or component name(s) Equipment location and ID number Unique test ID number, and reference to unique Pre-Functional Checklists and startup documentation, and ID numbers for the piece of equipment. 4. 5. 6. 7. Date Project name Participating parties A copy of the specification section describing the test requirements 8. A copy of the specific sequence of operations or other specified parameters being verified 9. Formulas used in any calculations
10. Required pretest field measurements 11. Instructions for setting up the test. 12. Special cautions, alarm limits, etc. 13. Specific step-by-step procedures to execute the test, in a clear, sequential and repeatable format 14. Acceptance criteria of proper performance with a Yes / No check box to allow for clearly marking whether or not proper performance of each part of the test was achieved. 15. A section for comments. 16. Signatures and date block for the Commissioning Agent. A place
for the Contractor to initial to signify attendance at the test. E. Test Methods: Systems Functional Performance Testing shall be
achieved by manual testing (i.e. persons manipulate the equipment and observe performance) and/or by monitoring the performance and
01 91 00 - 47

660-CSI-102
analyzing the results using the control system's trend log capabilities or by standalone data loggers. The Contractor and Commissioning Agent shall determine which method is most appropriate for tests that do not have a method specified. 1. Simulated Conditions: Simulating conditions (not by an
overwritten value) shall be allowed, although timing the testing to experience actual conditions is encouraged wherever practical. 2. Overwritten condition, Values: such as Overwriting overwriting sensor the values to simulate a
outside
air
temperature
reading in a control system to be something other than it really is, shall be allowed, but shall be used with caution and avoided when possible. Such testing methods often can only test a part of a system, as the interactions and responses of other systems will be erroneous or not applicable. Simulating a condition is
preferable. e.g., for the above case, by heating the outside air sensor with a hair blower rather than overwriting the value or by altering the appropriate setpoint to see the desired response. Before simulating conditions or overwriting values, sensors,
transducers and devices shall have been calibrated. 3. Simulated Signals: simulated signal to Using a signal generator which creates a test and calibrate transducers and DDC
constants is generally recommended over using the sensor to act as the signal generator via simulated conditions or overwritten values. 4. Altering Setpoints: Rather than overwriting sensor values, and
when simulating conditions is difficult, altering setpoints to test a sequence is acceptable. lockout For example, at to an see the Air air

If at any point, frequent failures are occurring
and testing is becoming more troubleshooting than verification, the Commissioning Agent may stop the testing and require the Contractor to perform and document a checkout of the remaining units, prior to continuing with Systems Functional Performance Testing of the
remaining units. H. Cost of Retesting: The cost associated with expanded sample System
Functional Performance Tests shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor. Any required retesting by the Contractor shall not
be considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or for a time extension by the Contractor. I. Coordination and Scheduling: The Contractor shall provide a minimum
of 7 days notice to the Commissioning Agent and the VA regarding the completion schedule for the Pre-Functional Checklists and startup of all equipment and systems. The Commissioning Agent will schedule
Systems Functional Performance Tests with the Contractor and VA. The Commissioning Agent will witness and document the Systems Functional Performance tests in Testing of systems. the The Contractor shall execute the Test

Procedure. J. Testing Prerequisites: In general, Systems Functional Performance
Testing will be conducted only after Pre-Functional Checklists have been satisfactorily completed. The control system shall be
sufficiently tested and approved by the Commissioning Agent and the VA before it is used to verify performance of other components or systems. The air balancing and water balancing shall be completed before Systems Functional Performance Testing of air-related or
01 91 00 - 49

water-related equipment or systems are scheduled. Systems Functional Performance Testing will proceed from components to subsystems to systems. When the proper performance of all interacting individual systems has been achieved, the interface or coordinated responses between systems will be checked. K. Problem Solving: problems found, The Commissioning Agent will recommend solutions to however the burden of responsibility to solve,
correct and retest problems is with the Contractor. 3.2 DOCUMENTATION, NONCONFORMANCE AND APPROVAL OF TESTS: A. Documentation: The Commissioning Agent will witness, and document
the results of all Systems Functional Performance Tests using the specific procedural forms developed by the Commissioning Agent for that purpose. Prior to testing, the Commissioning Agent will provide these forms to the VA and the Contractor for review and approval. The Contractor shall include the filled out forms with the O&M manual data. B. Nonconformance: The Commissioning Agent will record the results of
the Systems Functional Performance Tests on the procedure or test form. All items of nonconformance issues will be noted and reported to the VA on Commissioning Field Reports and/or the Commissioning Master Issues Log. 1. Corrections of minor items of noncompliance identified may be made during the tests. In such cases, the item of noncompliance and resolution shall be documented on the Systems Functional Test Procedure. 2. Every effort shall be made to expedite the systems functional Performance Testing process and minimize unnecessary delays, while not compromising the integrity of the procedures. However, the Commissioning Agent shall not be pressured into overlooking noncompliant work or loosening acceptance criteria to satisfy scheduling or cost issues, unless there is an overriding reason to do so by direction from the VA. 3. As the Systems Functional Performance Tests progresses and an item of noncompliance is identified, the Commissioning Agent shall discuss the issue with the Contractor and the VA. 4. When there is no dispute on an item of noncompliance, and the Contractor accepts responsibility to correct it:
01 91 00 - 50
March 2011
660-CSI-102
a. The Commissioning Agent will document the item of noncompliance and the Contractor's response and/or intentions. The Systems Functional Performance Test then
continues or proceeds to another test or sequence. After the day's work is complete, the Commissioning Agent will submit a Commissioning Field Report to the VA. The Commissioning
Agent will also note items of noncompliance and the Contractors response in the Master Commissioning Issues Log. The Contractor shall correct the item of noncompliance and report completion to the VA and the Commissioning Agent. b. The need for retesting will be determined by the Commissioning Agent. If retesting is required, the
Commissioning Agent and the Contractor shall reschedule the test and the test shall be repeated. 5. If there is a dispute about item of noncompliance, regarding whether it is an item of noncompliance, or who is responsible: a. The item of noncompliance shall be documented on the test form with the Contractor's response. The item of
noncompliance with the Contractors response shall also be reported on a Commissioning Field Report and on the Master Commissioning Issues Log. b. Resolutions shall be made at the lowest management level possible. Other parties are brought into the discussions as needed. Final interpretive and acceptance authority is with the Department of Veterans Affairs. c. The Commissioning Agent will document the resolution process. d. Once the interpretation and resolution have been decided, the Contractor shall correct the item of noncompliance, report it to the Commissioning Agent. The requirement for retesting will be determined by the Commissioning Agent. If retesting
is required, the Commissioning Agent and the Contractor shall reschedule the test. Retesting shall be repeated until
satisfactory performance is achieved. C. Cost of Retesting: The cost to retest a System Functional
Performance Test shall be solely the responsibility of the Contractor. Any required retesting by the Contractor shall not be
considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or for a time extension by the Contractor.

D. Failure Due to Manufacturer Defect:
If 10%, or three, whichever is
greater, of identical pieces (size alone does not constitute a difference) of equipment fail to perform in compliance with the Contract Documents (mechanically or substantively) due to manufacturing defect, not allowing it to meet its submitted performance specifications, all identical units may be considered unacceptable by the VA. In such case, the Contractor shall provide the VA with the following: 1. Within one week of notification from the VA, the Contractor shall examine all other identical units making a record of the findings. The findings shall be provided to the VA within two weeks of the original notice. 2. Within two weeks of the original notification, the Contractor shall provide a signed and dated, written explanation of the problem, cause of failures, etc. and all proposed solutions which shall include full equipment submittals. The proposed solutions shall not significantly exceed the specification requirements of the original installation. 3. The VA shall determine whether a replacement of all identical units or a repair is acceptable. 4. Two examples of the proposed solution shall be installed by the Contractor and the VA shall be allowed to test the installations for up to one week, upon which the VA will decide whether to accept the solution. 5. Upon acceptance, the Contractor shall replace or repair all identical items, at their expense and extend the warranty accordingly, if the original equipment warranty had begun. The replacement/repair work shall proceed with reasonable speed beginning within one week from when parts can be obtained. E. Approval: The Commissioning Agent will note each satisfactorily
demonstrated function on the test form. Formal approval of the Systems Functional Performance Test shall be made later after review by the Commissioning Agent and by the VA. The Commissioning Agent will evaluate each test and report to the VA using a standard form. The VA will give final approval on each test using the same form, and provide signed copies to the Commissioning Agent and the Contractor.
