&} COMMISSIONING SERVICE INTEGRATION
Commissioning should not be merely a one-line item in a construction schedule. As clearly stated in the scope of
work, there are numerous activities associated with the execution of commissioning services. Construction phase
commissioning activities should be clearly itemized within the construction schedule as soon as a formalized
schedule is developed. Lines items should include:
* Testing and balancing broken out on a per floor or per equipment type basis.
* Point-to-point checkout on a per floor or per equipment type basis.
* Functional testing broken out on a per floor, phase or equipment type basis. This breakout will include duration
of testing
* Training duration broken out on a per trade basis.
«+ Line item, including estimated duration for non-conformance item closeout.
ee TEAM BUILDING
OeSa
Design team - Fitzemeyer & Tocci is a full-service engineering consulting firm with a primary focus on design.
Because the firm is accustomed to working with commissioning agents on design projects, our dedicated
commissioning team is constantly reviewing the commissioning approach with our design groups to ensure the
delivery of our commissioning service is collaborative with designers. This evaluation activity has resulted in a
design review processes that numerous third-party design engineers have provided very positive feedback on.
Construction team -The commissioning team at F&T is comprised of engineers with extensive field backgrounds,
specifically focused on operations. Much of our team has direct, hands on experience in the maintenance and
troubleshooting of mechanical and electrical equipment. This hands-on experience is beneficial in developing a
level of trust with contractors and construction teams. Our team is rarely in the position of proposing solutions
that we do not have direct experience with. The nature of commissioning requires us to be involved in contentious
moments, but we are the first to promote contractors and team members that are collaborative and producing at a
high level.
Sad COMMISSIONING EFFORT ALLOCATION

Meetings — Meeting quantity is developed based up the duration of construction. Typically commissioning
meetings are conducted monthly through the first 75% of construction. These meetings increase in frequency
to bi-weekly and weekly through the final weeks of construction, when functional testing and non-conformance
resolution discussions are required.
Functional testing — Testing duration is based upon equipment types and counts. The equipment at the heart of
distribution systems including, but not limited to boilers, chillers, and air handling units typically require a full day of
testing per system or air handling unit. Unitary equipment such as fan coil units, variable air volume terminal units
or heat pumps are typically tested in groups of 10-15 units per full day of testing.
