1.1

DESCRIPTION
A. Work Included:

1.

General: The work included in this Section includes startup of equipment,
Certified Equipment Testing and manufacturer provided Operator Training of
the facility personnel in the proper operations and maintenance of the
furnished equipment. This shall include all equipment provided for the
project, regardless of specification Division, unless specifically noted
otherwise. Clean, test and adjust each piece of equipment and/or system to
the complete satisfaction of the Engineer.

B. General Definitions:

1.

Equipment Startup shall be generally defined as the initial placing into
operation of the equipment by representatives of the Contractor, any
subcontractors directly responsible for the equipment provided, and the
equipment manufacturer.

Certified Equipment Testing shall generally be defined as the formal and
scheduled demonstration of operations in accordance with the requirements of
the Contract Documents. This formal demonstration shall be performed in the
presence of the Engineer by representatives of the General Contractor, any
Subcontractors directly responsible for the equipment provided, and the
equipment manufacturer.

Operator Training shall generally be defined as the formal and scheduled
instruction of plant personnel and other Owner designated representatives in
the proper operations of provided equipment, and in the techniques, methods,
schedules, etc. associated with maintenance. This formal training shall be
performed in the presence of the Engineer, by representatives of the
Contractor, any subcontractors directly responsible for the equipment
provided, and the equipment manufacturer. Operator Training shall also
include assistance to plant personnel by manufacturer representatives during
the initial operations of the equipment.

C. Related Work Specified Elsewhere:

1.
2.

Plumbing and HVAC Systems are specified in Division 15.
Electrical systems are specified in Division 16.

D. Submittals:

1.

A minimum of ten (10) days prior to the Pre-Startup Meeting, Contractor shall
provide a preliminary equipment start-up schedule and plan for the Certified
Equipment Testing and the Operator Training for each piece of equipment to
the Engineer for review. This preliminary plan will include a written outline
description of the means and methods to be employed during the certified
equipment test of each piece of equipment. The schedule and means and
methods of testing will be discussed with the Engineer at the Pre-Startup
Meeting for acceptance.

EQUIPMENT/ SYSTEM TESTING CERTIFICATION

Schedules:

1. The Pre-Startup Meeting shall be held at least ten (10) working days prior to
the startup of the first piece of equipment supplied under the Contract. At that
time, the Contractor shall present his plan as detailed in the previous Part D
"Submittals" and review Engineer's comments and concerns associated with
the general features of each piece of equipment which must be demonstrated.

2. Contractor shall provide Engineer with at least 72 hours notice of his desire to
perform Certified Equipment Testing and/or training to allow necessary
coordination with Owner representatives. Contractor shall be responsible for
any and all coordination necessary with the daily operations of the facility to
accommodate his testing schedule. Actual date and time for testing and/or
training will be the first mutually acceptable date and time available to all
parties subsequent to receipt of the request.

3. Operator Training may be conducted concurrently with the Certified
Equipment Testing with prior approval of the Engineer. However, under no
circumstances will conditions of the testing interfere with the ability of
Owner's representatives to observe necessary features, to hear and understand
instructions, or to ask questions. Under such conditions, and as deemed
necessary by the Engineer, Operator Training will be conducted separately
from, and subsequent to, the Certified Equipment Testing.

PART 2-PRODUCTS (NOT USED)

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EQUIPMENT STARTUP

A.

Equipment startup shall be performed by a duly authorized representative of the
manufacturer, who is fully trained in the installation, startup and operation of the
equipment, including, but not limited to, drive system alignment, equipment
calibration, and other mechanical or electrical components of the equipment.

The equipment startup shall be performed prior to equipment certification testing

and Operator Training.

No form of energy shall be applied to any part of the system prior to receipt by the

Engineer of a certified statement of approval of the installation from the Contractor.

This certification shall contain a statement by an authorized representative of the

equipment manufacturer that the equipment is ready for testing, as outlined below.

As part of the equipment startup, the Contractor shall:

1. Verify that the equipment is installed properly and in accordance with
manufacturer's requirements and instructions, and as such, it is appropriate to
apply power to the units in question.

2. Verify that all manual, automatic and safety control features of the equipment
functions properly, including all alarm, activation and deactivation sequences.

3. Verify that the equipment can operate without excessive noise, vibration,
overheating, overloading, jamming, etc. during normal operating conditions.

4. Check amperage draws on all power feeds with equipment running under
normal operating conditions.

Each piece of equipment shall be tested sufficiently to ensure that all features

required to be demonstrated and/or verified during the equipment certification

EQUIPMENT/ SYSTEM TESTING CERTIFICATION

testing are within acceptable limits. The startup shall not be considered complete

until the unit is fully capable of passing the equipment certification testing.

Where multiple units are provided, each unit shall under go startup procedures.

The Contractor shall provide all power, chemical, tools, equipment, labor, water

fuel, coordinate with Owner to ensure availability of sludge, etc. as required for

startup.

1. The Contractor shall be responsible for all contacts and arrangements as
necessary with the proper municipal departments and/or public utility
companies to arrange for temporary and/or separate billing so that bills
associated with testing and startup procedures can be easily identified.

2. Contacts and arrangements with the local power company shall include, but
not be limited to, all arrangements as necessary so that peak power demands
incurred during testing and startup procedures will not become a part of the
permanent record for determining future power demand charges for the
Owner.

3. All waste materials shall be disposed of by the Contractor in an
environmentally acceptable manner at no additional cost to the Owner.

The manufacturer representative shall fill out the equipment certification form

included at the end of this Section. Startup will not be considered complete until

this form has been provided to the Engineer.

3.2 CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT TESTING

A.

Certified Equipment Testing shall be performed after the equipment startup testing
is completed and it has been verified that equipment functions in accordance with
the requirements of the Contract Documents in all aspects. It is required that a duly
authorized representative of the manufacturer, who is fully trained in the
installation, startup and operation of the equipment, be in attendance for the

Certified Equipment Testing.

Certified Equipment Testing shall not be scheduled concurrently with the

equipment startup without the prior approval of the Engineer. In all cases, if the

Engineer has arrived on-site for the scheduled Certified Equipment Testing and the

equipment is not capable of demonstrating complete compliance with the Contract

Documents, or if the manufacturer's representative is not present, the Contractor

shall be responsible for all costs to the Engineer associated with failed testing,

including travel expenses. The importance of prior and proper equipment startup
demonstrations to verify the requirements of the Certified Equipment Testing is
stressed.

At a minimum during the Certified Equipment Testing, the Contractor shall

demonstrate to the complete satisfaction of the Engineer the following:

1. That the equipment is installed properly and in accordance with
manufacturer's requirements and instructions, and as such, it is appropriate to
apply power to the units in question.

functions properly, including all alarm, activation and deactivation sequences.

3. That the equipment can operate without excessive noise, vibration,
overheating, overloading, jamming, etc. during normal operating conditions.
