Requirements and Scope. The objective of the CSU commissioning process is to provide a systematic quality assurance process that spans the entire design and construction process, including assisting the campus define Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) verifying and documenting that building systems and components are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained to the applicable codes and standards as well as meet CSU’s project requirements. The Service Provider engaged for this work is hereby designated as the Commissioning Provider (CxP) for the project. In this role the CxP acts as a campus agent and as a consulting campus advisor to the design team and contractor on issues that affect commissioning. The CxP’s role is advisory, and in new building commissioning, complementary to the Mechanical/Electrical Systems Reviewers’ scope of work. The two parties shall coordinate to ensure no redundant reviews are performed. The Architect/Engineer and Contractor under their own separate contracts with the Campus are the respective Architect/Engineer-of- Record and Contractor-of-Record. The CxP shall perform to the selected scope of work using the most current CSU Commissioning Guidelines (available through the CSU CPDC Resource Library) as a reference. The CxP shall seek direction from the campus where guideline or scope requirements relative to the specific project are not applicable. New Building/Major Renovation Commissioning (Cx) Objectives Per Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Part 6 - California Energy Code, and Part 11 - California Green Building Standards (CALGreen), building system commissioning is required for new construction with conditioned space of 10,000 SF and greater. Commissioning shall be included in addition to the requirements of the Title 24 CCR, for all California State University (CSU) major capital construction projects. The new building commissioning scope of work will involve the CxP from pre-design through its completion and a one-year post-occupancy period thereafter.
