WASHINGTON – The ConsensusDocs Coalition is publishing a
new, first of its kind, contract for projects using commissioning services. The
ConsensusDocs 820 Owner and Commissioning Authority Agreement provides fair
language for Owners to use when procuring commissioning services to verify
building system performance. The new contract also establishes the rights and
obligations of the professional who will serve as the Commission Authority.
“This agreement fills a serious void for building owners
and the companies providing commission authority services for them,” said Brian
Perlberg, Executive Director and Counsel for ConsensusDocs. “This standard
contract will save time, money and heartache as an off-the-shelf contract that
does not have to be drafted from scratch.”
Perlberg noted that the AABC Commissioning Group (ACG),
the leading association of certified commissioning authorities, provided input
and is endorsing the document. The document is also based on input from members
of the American Society for Healthcare Engineers (ASHE) and others in the
field.
Like all ConsensusDocs form agreements, ConsensusDocs 820
was developed with the consensus of many different industry perspectives based
on fair and balanced, best practice principles.
