Task 670. Startup Services Objective. Brown and Caldwell's staff and Subconsultants will provide hands-on,on-site assistance,and start-up services to facilitate the start-up of equipment and processes. Services in excess of those identified below will be conducted in accordance with the Agreement. Approach. On-site startup assistance will be provided for all elements of the system,including the arrangement and initiation of machinery/equipment warranties and beneficial use dates. This task is based on the assumption that the Contractor shall develop a complete testing and start-up procedures submittal in accordance with the Specifications for review by the Consultant. When requested by the City, the Consultant's staff shall serve as the Engineer's Witness for verifying testing results, but not for inspection or certification of installations. Inspections or certification of installations, whether for mechanical performance, for proper mechanical installation, or for structural integrity, shall be considered out of scope work under the terms of this Contract and, if requested by the City, shall be negotiated for equitable compensation as extra work under the provisions of this Agreement. After all submitted plans for an equipment item or system are accepted, the Consultant shall aid the City in verifying that equipment and system performance test requirements are met. The Consultant shall aid the City in ensuring that all systems are properly configured and valves are in proper positions to adequately test each piece of equipment and system. If a piece of equipment serves as back-up to another piece of equipment,the Consultant shall aid the City in identifying the proper system configuration and valve position for testing the equipment during back-up operations. The level of effort for the work in this task is embodied in the budget shown for this task in Exhibit B. If, during start-up activities, additional testing is required and the City requests the Consultant's assistance then the Consultant will negotiate reasonable additional fees under the provisions for extra work included in this Agreement. It is assumed that Systems Interface,Inc.will provide programming services to the General Contractor. This work activity will be deferred to the construction phase of the work and will not be part of this Agreement. Products. The marked-up original submittals,plans and/or schedules.
