7.2.2 Prebid Conference 7.2.2.1 Time should be allotted during the prebid conference for the CxP Team to alert bidders to Cx requirements with which they may not be familiar.

7.2.3 Coordinate Owner’s Representatives Participation 7.2.3.1 Coordinate and schedule participation of Owner’s representatives in Cx Activities. Owner’s representatives may vary from one activity to another, both in number and in the specific individuals. It is important for Owner’s representatives to participate in CxP Team meetings, review of Cx Reports, discussions of changes to the OPR, and staff and occupant training. Other Cx Activities in which Owner’s representatives typically participate include reviewing submittals and witnessing testing.

7.2.4 Update OPR 7.2.4.1 Changes to the OPR during bidding and the Construction Phase may be Owner directed or initiated as design/ construction process changes to the construction documents.

7.2.4.2 When the Owner initiates a change to the OPR, the design shall be modified and reviewed as necessary to meet the change.

7.2.4.3 When the Owner considers changes initiated through the design/construction process, the CxP Team should review the proposed changes to determine if they compromise the OPR, paying special attention to the functional impacts of value management proposals. If the Owner chooses to initiate a change after reviewing the CxP Team’s

comments, the OPR must be updated as necessary to match the change.

7.2.5 Update the Cx Plan 7.2.5.1 Update the Cx Plan to include new or revised descriptions of Cx Activities during the Construction Phase. Incorporate the following:

a. Test procedures and data forms developed during the Con struction Phase b. Refinement and integration of Cx Activities in the con struction schedule c. Roles and responsibilities of the CxP Team during the

Construction Phase, including the identification of new team members d. Identification of specialists responsible for accomplishing

Cx Activities for specific systems and assemblies e. Changes to the communication channels and procedures

to be used during the Construction Phase

7.2.6 Conduct Preconstruction Cx Meeting 7.2.6.1 Early in the Construction Phase, the CxP shall conduct a preconstruction Cx meeting with the CxP Team.

7.2.6.2 During the preconstruction meeting, the OPR, BoD, and unique contract document requirements are reviewed. In addition, the specific roles and responsibilities of the contractors relative to the Cx Activities are reviewed.

7.2.7 Verify Submittals 7.2.7.1 It is recommended that a sampling strategy of randomly selecting 5% to 10% of the submittal be used to focus on the quality and ability of the submittal to achieve the OPR. If deviations are substantial, then review an additional 5% to 10%. If substantial deviations still exist, then reject the submittal and return it with comments. See Informative Appendix N for additional guidance.

7.2.7.2 Concurrent with Design Team and Owner review, a designated CxP Team member reviews coordination drawings, shop drawings, and project submittals for compliance with the OPR. Special attention must be paid to substitutions and proposed deviations from the contract documents and the BoD that could adversely impact the OPR.

7.2.7.3 Upon receipt, designated members of the CxP Team shall review the Systems Manual for compliance with the contract documents and the OPR.

7.2.7.4 Review training program, materials, and schedule, and monitor delivery of training to verify that it meets the OPR for the preparation of O&M personnel.

7.2.7.5 Training records are reviewed by designated members of the CxP Team for proper documentation of attendees, material covered, and associated details.

7.2.8 Schedule Cx Activities

7.2.8.1 The objective of scheduling Cx Activities is to integrate and coordinate them with other Construction Phase activities and to allow all CxP Team members to plan their work to achieve the OPR. Cx Activities should be integrated into the construction schedule. Detailed integration of commissioning work with the construction schedule is critical to maintaining project schedule milestones.
