The Science and Parliamentary Infrastructure Branch (SPIB) of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), commonly known as Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC), requires a Commissioning (Cx) Consultant to provide Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) services and project management support services for new construction in response to the programs and initiatives related to the Long-Term Vision and Plan (LTVP), Universal Accessibility (UA), the recapitalization programs, as well as the Greening Government Strategy. Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) Projects in response to the programs identified above will include but not limited to the following objectives:
a) Identify operational and maintenance enhancements that result in improvements in energy efficiency, occupant comfort, or indoor air quality.
b) Increase equipment performance and life expectancy based on recommendations made from a health condition assessment.
c) Document baseline operating conditions through trending of performance measurements.
d) Establish Carbon Footprint before and after implementation of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM).
e) Optimize control systems through calibration of critical sensors, review metered data and trend logs, and perform functional equipment testing.
f) Identify O&M staff training needs.
g) Enhance documentation of the O&M requirements for the equipment and systems included. New Construction Building Commissioning (NBCx) Projects in response to the programs identified above will include but not limited to the following objectives:
a) Document the design and operation intent of the overall project and the proposed building systems and components and to verify and demonstrate that all functional and operational requirements have been correctly interpreted in the design solution.
b) Minimize O&M costs through the careful selection of design solutions (for economy, reliability, durability, accessibility, maintainability, etc.), construction materials, installation practices and performance Verification procedures.
c) Verify that selected design solutions and the resultant-built works protect the safety, health, welfare and comfort of occupants and O&M personnel.
d) Define responsibility areas for meeting these operational requirements in the new construction contract documents and include a process to demonstrate compliance.
e) Demonstrate that the client's and the department's requirements are met during the project implementation and Cx phases of the project and to support quality management of construction and installation through Verification of building components, systems, and environments.
f) Verify and demonstrate that all systems operate consistently at peak efficiencies, under all normal load conditions, and within the specified energy budget.
g) Provide comprehensive documentation of the operational, maintenance and building management.
h) Implement a comprehensive training program.
i) Transfer the completed works to qualified and trained facility operators. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
