Commissioning activities must be led by a qualified provider with healthcare/VA experience. Includes pre-functional activities, functional performance testing, TAB measurements, controls integration, documentation, and 8 hours of instructor-led training for VA staff.

Submission & Evaluation

Professional Engineer-stamped shop drawings, infection control, ILSM, and a phasing plan are required. Advanced hourly coordination for overtime, weekend, and holiday work is necessary.
