Summary: Staff seeks Board approval to hire a commissioning agent to oversee and validate the proper installation and functioning of building systems for the Elementary Modernization Phase II Projects at Meadow Homes, Mt. Diablo and Rio Vista Elementary Schools. This step ensures the project meets the district’s quality, performance, and operational goals. Commissioning is a critical quality assurance process that ensures building systems such as HVAC, electrical, lighting, etc. are installed, tested, and maintained to operate as intended. Hiring a qualified commissioning agent aligns with best practices in construction management, supports energy efficiency goals, and reduces long-term operational costs by identifying potential system issues during the construction phase.
