specification section applies to both Contractor performed work and Leidos
performed work. Reference both PreAIMS and AIMS drawing packages for
delineation of efforts.
1.1 SUMMARY
Commission the building systems listed herein. Employ the services of an
independent Commissioning Firm. The Commissioning Firm must be a 1st tier
subcontractor of the General or Prime Contractor and must be financially
and corporately independent of all other subcontractors. The
Commissioning Firm must employ a Lead Commissioning Specialist that
coordinates all aspects of the commissioning process. Conform to the
commissioning procedures outlined in this specification.

1.4 GENERAL COMMISSIONING
This Section includes general requirements that apply to implementation of
commissioning without regard to specific systems, subsystems, and
equipment being commissioned.
Owner has employed an independent Commissioning Authority (CxA). The
Commissioning Authority is an independent and knowledgeable third party,
hired to verify that the systems being commissioned work as intended. The
Commissioning Authority will inform the Owner and Architect of the results
of the Commissioning Process and provide suggestions, as necessary, to
correct deficiencies in observed performance or installation.
The Commissioning Process is a quality-oriented process for achieving,
verifying and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and
assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria.
The Contractor is responsible for participation in the Commissioning
Process as outlined in the Drawings and general provisions of the
Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other
Division 01 Specification Sections.
The Contractor is responsible to furnish labor and materials sufficient to
meet all requirements of building commissioning under this contract.
Commissioning is a quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a
project. Commissioning does not serve as a guarantee, certification,
warranty, etc. of performance by equipment, components, assemblies, or
systems constructed and designed by others.
If this specification section, or other commissioning specifications,
conflict with other sections, or are duplicated, the more stringent
requirement(s) shall always apply.
a. Domestic Hot Water.
b. Advanced Energy Metering.
c. Lighting and Daylighting Controls.
d. Emergency Power.
e. Lift Safety Systems.
f. Fire Protection Systems.

components for quantities greater than 10.
k. Integrated Systems:
1. 100% of system interconnections.
2. 20% of initiating devices or minimum of 10 initiating devices for
quantities greater than 10.
