PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 FIELD TESTS AND ADJUSTMENTS

A. All mechanical and electrical equipment including the interfaces with the building
management system, control systems, communication systems, software and all alarm
circuits and operating modes for each piece of equipment shall be tested by the Contractor
and approved by the Engineer before any facility is put into operation. Tests shall be as
specified herein and in the Specification section applicable to and as specified for the
various pieces of equipment. The testing and commissioning is to be done in the presence
of the equipment manufacturer/supplier authorized representative. As a minimum, the
startup tests shall be sufficiently detailed and comprehensive to demonstrate and verify that
the equipment has been properly assembled, aligned, and connected and that the control and
information circuitry and any associated controllers, panels, and software systems are fully
operational and functioning as designed. Any changes, adjustments, or replacements
required to make the equipment operate as specified shall be performed as part of the
Works.

1. At least sixty (60) days before the time allowed in the construction schedule for
commencing testing and startup activities, submit to the Engineer three (3) copies of
the detailed procedures proposed for testing and startup of all mechanical (including
instrumentation and controls) and electrical equipment. Procedures shall be required

for each major piece of equipment, each subsystem which can logically be treated as
an integral group and division for purposes of testing and demonstrating system
operability.
2. Testing and startup procedures shall include detailed descriptions of all pre-
operational electrical, mechanical, communication and software and instrumentation
testing work. Each control device, item of mechanical, electrical, and
instrumentation equipment, software and all control circuits shall be considered in
the testing procedures. The testing procedures shall be established / prepared in a
stepwise, logical sequence to verify that all equipment has been properly serviced,
aligned, connected, wired, calibrated, and adjusted prior to operation. Motors shall
be tested in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Publication 112. Testing procedures shall
be designed to duplicate as nearly as possible all conditions of operations, and shall
be carefully selected to ensure that the equipment is not damaged as a result of the
testing program. All filters and filter elements shall be installed prior to beginning
the tests. Construction or temporary filters shall be used during startup activities.
3. Once the testing procedures have been approved by the Engineer, provide checkout,
alignment, adjustment, and calibration signoff forms for each item of equipment and
system that will be used. The signoff forms shall be used at the Site jointly with
Engineer, to demonstrate that each item of electrical, mechanical, and
instrumentation equipment and system has been properly installed and tested.
Cooperate with the contractors of other systems / facilities where startup and testing
is to be conducted concurrently.
4. Any special testing equipment, loads or instrumentation required shall be provided
to the Employer at the Contractor’s cost during startup and pre-operational testing of
systems and equipment.

B. Before starting a system, perform all service on all equipment, which comprises the system
and associated equipment that supports the system, which normally requires service in
accordance with the Operation & Maintenance Manual instructions. Submit a detailed
maintenance schedule and be responsible for lubrication and maintenance of equipment and
filters throughout the entire equipment break-in period indicated by the manufacturer. Note
that when the manufacturer does not specify a break-in period, construction or temporary
filters shall be installed, and the new and clean filters shall be installed only after the
system and equipment are thoroughly cleaned to the satisfaction of the Engineer.

1. Be responsible for the startup, adjustment, preliminary maintenance, and checkout of

all equipment and instrumentation. All systems shall be carefully checked for
conformance with the Contract Documents including Design Drawings,
Specifications, and other Contract documents, which provide performance
requirements (e.g., Design Criteria document(s) when provided by the Employer as
part of the Contract Package).
2. If any equipment or system does not operate as specified in the Contract Documents,
replace or repair components until they operate properly and meet the specified
performance requirements.
3. When system startup and testing is complete, submit ("draft") test reports to the
Engineer for review and acceptance within two (2) weeks of the completion of the
tests and before the final test reports are issued (no later than one month from the
final date of completion of the tests).

training. Note that major systems shall be tested and a minimum of 8 hours of operator
training provided for each major sub-system as defined in the Division 15 and/or 16
specifications, or as with the Engineer. Operator schools shall be conducted as applicable
with duly qualified instructors. Work performed by the manufacturer's representative
required for testing shall not be considered as operator training even if the operators are
present and witnessing the adjustments. Equipment testing shall be completed and
Operations and Maintenance Manuals submitted and approved before the required on-the-
job operator training begins.

B. Prepare and furnish training materials for use in training Employer’s personnel. The
training materials shall be submitted for the Engineer's review 3 weeks in advance of
