Editing Note: Commissioning is an interdisciplinary
process involving the Lessor, the Design
Professionals and Contractor(s) retained by the
Lessor, and VA as Lessee. Building commissioning is
defined as a systematic quality assurance process for
achieving, verifying, and documenting the interactive
performance of the building systems in meeting the
design intent and the needs of the occupants.
To develop an optimum Commissioning Plan, the
unique needs of the proposed outpatient clinic must
be identified. The level of commissioning required will
depend on the size and complexity of the building and
the desired level of quality assurance. Commissioning
can be provided for all the systems in the building (full
commissioning) or to selected systems. The
Contracting Officer should consult with Office of
Facilities Management to establish the scope of
commissioning, if any, to be required by the SFO. If
commissioning is not required for a project, delete
