According to CIRs dated 8/23/05 and 6/28/02, the independent Cx authority can be obtained anytime (even during construction), as long as the owner/design/construction team is willing to make changes based on the independent Cx authority’s review.

Three Tasks that the Commissioning Agent must perform:
-Conduct at a minimum one commissionig design review of the Owner’s Project Requirements, (OPR) the Basis of Design, (BOD)and the design documents prior to the Mid Construction document phase
-Review contractor submittals for compliance with OPR and BOD. this review is concurrent withA/E reviews and submitted to design team and the Owner. ( the review facilitates, and work out issues resulting change orders etc, does NOT change scope or in the role of accepting or rejecting submittals)
-review building operation within 10 months after substantial completion with O&M staff and occupants. Includes plan for resolution of any outstanding issues.
The other team members can perform
-developing a systems manual( the as built docs are under this breakdown of tasks, plus more…)
-verify that the requirements for training operating personnel and occupants are completed.
ALL MUST BE IN CONSTRUCTION DOCS!
