Construction
The contractors will provide the CxA with a set of equipment and system submittals. This equipment data includes installation and start-up procedures, O&M data, performance data and temperature control drawings. The subcontractors, GC or A/E notify the commissioning authority of any new owner provided requirements (OPR) or operating parameter changes, added control strategies and sequences of operation, or other change orders that may affect commissioned systems.
Site Observation
The CxA makes periodic site visits to witness equipment and system installations, spot checking completed Construction Checklists submitted by the contractors. Each site visit will have a specific agenda and will be coordinated with the general contractor site supervisor. The CxA attends selected planning and job-site meetings in order to remain informed on construction progress and to update parties involved in commissioning. The GC provides the CxA with information regarding substitutions or change orders that may affect commissioned equipment or the commissioning schedule.
