Baumann was hired to assist the Owner during the bidding process and review bid requisitions for completeness and correctness. The team then prepared an evaluation matrix to evaluate the selection of the Contractor. Upon the conclusion of the BMS bidding process, Baumann reviewed the BMS construction documents to ensure that they incorporated comments by the Owner to achieve a final approved design.
Baumann prepared and maintained punch lists including follow-up inspections to verify the Engineer’s acceptance of the corrected work, as well as follow-up on punch-list items. We then developed testing and commissioning criteria and activities and provided the Owner and Contractor with the BMS testing, acceptance, and checking procedures; witness all BMS testing, acceptance, and commissioning activities; and prepared reports on such activities. During the performance verification period, Baumann performed sensor verification and operation diagnostics to test and verify the functionality and performance of the BMS and all connected systems. This included a final inspection after the construction of all BMS and components including a final punch-list.
Baumann verified the provision of systems training of the new BMS for the O&M personnel. We also reviewed warranties and other contract completion documents submitted by the Contractor for their conformance to the contract documents.
