Development of Functional Performance Test Procedures
HTS will create the Functional Performance Tests (FPTs) and review them with the General Contractor and his MEP sub-contractors. Final Assessment Document Comments from the EOR (as a product of the Review Cycle) will be incorporated into the development of the system-specific FPTs. The FPT Procedures will be scripted directly from the Sequence of Operation for each System, will dynamically test their respective operations, and are intended to demonstrate full compliance with the Project Specifications, Contract Documents, and the Design Intent. Any deficiencies observed during the execution of these tests will be fully documented and reported, including potential solutions and the identification of all responsible parties.
A final Commissioning report will be compiled and include a summary of all tasks, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Commissioning Process, as well as describe the actual performance of the building systems relative to the design intent and contract documents.
Observation and Management of Pre-Functional Tests
HTS will work with the General Contractor and his MEP Sub-Contractors to compile and review the pre-functional checklists for equipment and system start-up. In addition to validating the start-up process and providing relevant performance information for the commissioning team, the checklists will be tailored to your specific needs. All information necessary to populate depreciable equipment inventories and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) will be collected and made available for hospital use. In many cases, this data transfer can be made electronically (CMMS dependent). HTS is utilizing this approach with the AIMS CMMS on several hospital projects, potentially saving hundreds of hours in equipment data collection and manual data entry by medical center staff.
Conduct Field Observations
HTS will support the project team by conducting field observations of MEP system construction, installation and start-up throughout the construction of each facility. Observations will be reported to the applicable Architect/Engineer and deviations from the contract documents or any recommendations for repair or correction will be provided. All of this work will be fully coordinated with the General Contractor, appropriate sub-contractors and the remainder of the Project Team.
