Common use of Acceptance Phase Clause in Contracts

Acceptance Phase. 1. Continue to update schedule and coordination throughout construction with GC and subcontractors 2. Obtain pre-functional reports from Constructor with sign-offs that the systems have been checked out 3. Obtain TAB report from TAB contractor. Verify accuracy of the TAB effort. Direct the TAB contractor to take simple readings and compare to TAB report: a. 20% sample of V A V terminals, other small terminal unit equipment serving general public areas b. 100% of lab terminals and lab hood controls c. 100% of the TAB report readings for main AHU’s, central plant equipment, main pumps, and main exhaust fans 4. Verify building controls: a. 20% point-to-point verification of terminal units servicing general public areas, including analog calibration, mapping to workstation graphics, proper control, and alarm management functions b. 100% point-to-point verification of controls in lap spaces, including analog calibration, mapping to workstation graphics, proper controls and alarm management functions c. 100% point-to-point verification of main AHU’s, central plant equipment, main pumps, and main exhaust fans; including analog calibration, mapping workstation graphics, and alarms management functions 5. Witnessing functional testing of smoke controls systems, emergency power, transfer switch, and fire alarm/protection sequence of operation per NFPA and University requirements 6. Conduct acoustic/sound level testing and prepare report 7. Witness functional testing of each major piece of equipment to demonstrate that each item of equipment and system is operating according to the OPR and contract documents. Functional testing shall include operating the system and components through each of the written sequences of operations 8. Provide troubleshooting to assist in resolving control problems, as they are uncovered 9. Maintain a master issues log and separate record of test results of any items found to be a problem, poorly installed, or discrepancies. The log must be sufficiently detailed so as to provide clarity and point of future reference for the comment. Provide the log and test results to the University PM, A/E, and GC, with recommended actions 10. Coordinate retesting as necessary. One retest will be provided as part of normal checkout. More than one retest will be considered work outside the normal scope of work 11. Notify the University PM and GC of the unacceptable finding if 10% of identical pieces of equipment fail to perform to the requirements of the contract documents because of manufacturing defects which do not allow it to meet the submitted performance spec, request an explanation of the problem and proposed solution from the GC; and then review the proposed solutions 12. Attend weekly meetings while on-site for functional testing 13. Attend up to one additional on-site meeting for review of progress, coordination, and issues resolution. More than on on-site meeting will be considered work outside the normal scope of work 14. Review O&M documentation for completeness. This review shall be in parallel with the A/E’s team review of the O&M documentation for conformance to the project specification 15. Provide the user staff with an on-day systems training on “how the building is supposed to operate” 16. Review, pre-approve, and coordinate training of the University operating personnel by the contractor 17. Perform deferred (season) testing checkout of equipment – in August for cooling systems and in January for heating systems 18. Provide three hard bound copies of the comprehensive System Concept and Operations Manual containing: a. Owner objectives b. Design narrative and basis of design c. System descriptions d. Sing-line diagrams e. Sequence of operations and setpoint tables f. Instruction for normal operation, and seasonal adjustments g. Start-up and shutdown h. Energy saving strategies and monitoring recommendations
