Reference Number - 0000269418 Question Acceptance Deadline - 2024/05/13 03:00:00 PM EDT The University of Ottawa is seeking a Commissioning Service Provider (CSP) that can provide mechanical and electrical systems commissioning services that cover the entire building, and follow both ASHRAE Guideline 0 - 2013 and ASHRAE Standard 202 - 2013, as well as the requirements for LEED v4 EAp1, and EAc1 Option 1 Path 1 and 2.
The objective of commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that a facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of the University of Ottawa's occupants and operators. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to prepare and document the University of Ottawa's Owner's Project Requirements for system function, performance, and maintainability; as well as, to verify and document compliance with these criteria throughout pre-design, design, construction, start-up, and the initial period of operation through the commissioning process. In addition, complete Commissioning Operation and Maintenance (O&M) manuals, as well as training on system operation, should be provided to the building operators to ensure the building continues to operate as intended.
The CSP will plan, manage, perform and report on the commissioning activities, utilizing the reporting formats and standardized forms provided by the CSP. The CSP will submit deliverables to University of Ottawa according to a project schedule set by CSP and agreed upon by the University of Ottawa, Advocate Team and Design Build (DB) Team. It is extremely important that all commissioning tasks be conducted in a transparent and timely manner and involve the Advocate Team, DB Team and University of Ottawa to the greatest degree possible.
The CSP will be involved throughout the project from the design through the end of warranty period. The primary role of the CSP during the overall design phase is to develop Owner's Project Requirement (OPR), detailed commissioning specifications, an initial commissioning plan, and review design documents to validate it meets the University of Ottawa's Owner's Project Requirements (OPR). During construction, the CSP chairs the commissioning meetings, develops and coordinates the execution of a testing plan, which includes observing and documenting system performance to ensure that systems are functioning in accordance with the Advocate Teams design and Owner's Project Requirements and the contract documents. During the warranty period, the CSP will coordinate seasonal testing, develop a preventative maintenance plan, and review building operations with facilities staff to identify and troubleshoot any known issues. See section 2 and Section 3 for detailed description of scope of work and scope of services. Official bid documents must be obtained from www.merx.com and bid submissions must be done through the Merx platform.
