The scope of services provides for LEED Enhanced Commissioning Services (design and reviews, construction/field inspection and start-up, functional performance testing, including O & M training and warranty review) for the construction of a Tier III Central Computer Facility to be located in the Springfield area. A minimum of LEED Silver Certification will be required. The Commissioning Agent (CxA) will work with the Bridging Firm during program analysis and throughout the development of the bridging documents, including assistance that may be necessary during preparation of the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Design-Build Team. Major design features will include the following elements: Design Considerations: Evaluate transition of existing building and data equipment for potential reuse at the new facility. Evaluate available property, including state-owned property and propose a site. Give consideration to the application of renewable energy sources, including but not limited to, the use of solar energy. The scope of services also provides for the facilitation of documentation required for LEED Silver Certification. The CxA will facilitate and monitor completeness and timeliness of LEED submittals during project design phase, construction, close-out and extended warranty period. The CxA will maintain all documentation required for submittal to successfully meet the requirements of LEED Silver Certification process by the USGBC following completion of design and construction. This includes all USGBC certification fees and USGBC documents required during design, bidding, construction and project close-out. The CxA must have documented commissioning process experience on at least two building projects with a similar scope of work.
