The successful completion of a SEVEN(7)-day acceptance test as described herein is a prerequisite to granting Substantial Performance. Before the SEVEN(7)-day acceptance test may begin, the CCS must be completely operational including the following:
.1 Every point shall be checked end to end to ensure accuracy
and integrity of systems and be signed off by the
Contractor and the Landlord's mechanical consultant.
.2 Control logic shall be written in Operator Control Language (OCL) and shall successfully control the systems.
.3 Time schedules shall be built and in control of time-controlled equipment.
.4 Graphic displays shall be installed and fully operational for each
graphic screen page as per the CCS Project
Summary in Section 15930.
.5 Each control loop measured variable, controlled variable and set
point if calculated, shall be placed on a FIFTEEN
(15)- minute continuous trend for at least
TWENTY-FOUR (24) hours to prove stability of loop.
.6 Each space sensor shall be placed on a THREE (3)-hour trend for One Hundred (100) samples.
.7 Runtime totalizer shall be set on all digital outputs.
.8 All features of system shall have been exercised.
.9 The operator shall have been briefed on operation of system.
.10 A trend on one panel shall be set up for a point from every other
panel. These points shall also be trended in their
own panels for the same intervals. Comparison
of the two groups of trends will indicate if any communication
problems are occurring during the SEVEN(7)-day
test.
.11 All alarms shall be operational.
.12 Calibration of all sensors shall be complete.
.1 The fire alarm shall be activated to ensure correct action of all fire and smoke sequences.
.2 A power failure for the building shall be simulated and system recovery monitored.
.3 The system shall be available for the Corporation's representative to exercise all features of the system.
.4 Load/save of panel programs shall be demonstrated.
.5 Demonstration of modem operation shall be required. All functions
of the CCS shall be accessed through the
modem to prove operation.
.6 Demonstration of hardware low limits and damper interlocks shall be required.
.7 Spot checks of points end-to-end integrity will be carried out. If
several problems are identified, a complete
reconfirmation of system integrity shall be carried
out by the Contractor. When reconfirmation has been completed,
the SEVEN(7)-day test will be restarted.
.8 Any upset of system operational functionality greater than
2 hours during the SEVEN(7)-day test shall cause the
test to be restarted.
.9 A temporary, fully functional operator interface and alarm printer
shall be supplied by the Contractor for the
SEVEN(7)-day test period. The printer shall be left
on for the entire test. All printouts will be kept for review at
completion of the test.
.10 Results of all tests shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to
the Landlord's mechanical consultant
and to the Corporation for review.
.11 System speeds as defined in PS 3.6, PS 3.8, PS 3.9 and PS 4.2 will be tested during the SEVEN(7)- day test.
The complete training program shall be carried out (refer to Section CC 1). It may be convenient to schedule the training during the SEVEN(7)-day test period.
The following documentation shall be in place before completion of SEVEN(7)-day test and the granting of Substantial Performance:
.1 Panel layout sheets complete with point name, point address and
wire identification number. One copy attached to
each respective panel door.
.2 All points tagged with point name, point address and panel number.
.3 System generated data sheets and graphics signed off by both the
contractor and the consultant showing successful
commissioning of each point.
.4 As-Built control drawings showing interface with existing controls.
.5 As-Built ladder wiring diagrams showing all hardware interlocks and panel input or output number.
.6 Complete Operators Manual.
.7 Apparatus and Maintenance Manual for all sensors, transducers,
valves, operators, solid state relays, DDC main
panels and zone controllers.
.8 Graphic plates of floor plans showing sensors, terminals, devices, zoning and stand-alone panel locations.
.9 Electrical approval certificate.
.10 All of the above information, with the exception of #2 (point tags) shall be
bound and presented in TWO (2)
manuals to be left on site.
.11 A copy of each graphical screen page included in Section 15930 shall be
signed off and dated by the Contractor
and the Landlord's mechanical consultant. Any changes
shall be noted. This signed set shall be left on site as the
"as-installed drawings".
In addition, a summary print-out generated by the supplied system of each group of point types for each panel shall be printed after commissioning and calibration. Each sheet shall be signed by the Contractor's commissioning person, and the Landlord's mechanical consultant. The print-out shall be stored in a binder on site for reference by all parties. If any changes are noted during spot checks they shall be manually written on the original print out with the date and signature of person noting changes.
Once the above basic requirements are met and all other features of the system are complete and acceptable, Substantial Performance shall be granted. A deficiency list shall be prepared and holdbacks applied. All deficiencies shall be corrected prior to Total Performance. Warranty shall start from the date of Substantial Performance of the work.
