Introduction The start-up, testing, and commissioning of Water-Wastewater facilities (W-WW), services, and equipment is a complex process that varies significantly between projects. Commissioning requirements for W-WW infrastructure must be considered on a case-by-case basis according to the type, scope, and complexity of the project in question. A customized commissioning procedure must be developed for each W-WW capital works project, including but not limited to those projects involving treatment plants, pumping stations, meter chambers, storage tanks, reservoirs, odour control facilities, and hauled waste receiving facilities. For each capital works project, it is the Project Consultant’s responsibility to prepare and document the commissioning procedure. All applicable Niagara quality management system (QMS) procedures need to be adhered to during commissioning to ensure that all requirements of external stakeholders, regulatory requirements, and legal instruments (MDWL, DWWP, ECA, etc.) are met and maintained. Niagara Region’s capital works projects are governed in part by the Niagara Peninsula Standard Contract Documents; where the requirements of this Commissioning Guideline conflict with the Contract Documents, the more stringent of the requirements shall be applied. The Project Consultant is required to identify any deviations from the Contract Documents or the Commissioning Guideline and shall provide written documentation and reasoning for said deviations. Any submissions from other Project Contractors must be reviewed and approved by the Project Consultant before they are submitted to Niagara Region. Scope This Commissioning Procedure Guideline provides guidance for Niagara Region W-WW Services’ staff, Project Consultants, and Contractors in the development and execution of these commissioning procedures.

5. Submission Requirements As part of the Commissioning Process, both the Consultant and the Contractor are required to submit documents at various stages throughout the process. The Consultant will provide a draft copy of the Commissioning Plan, and the Operations Manual or Update, to Niagara Region for review as part of the Detailed Engineering Design Review submission. Comments / edits received from Niagara Region will be incorporated into each document prior to the project being tendered. The Contractor will provide a draft copy of the final Commissioning Plan to the Contract Administrator’s Commissioning Manager for review by the Contract Administrator and Niagara Region. Comments / edits received during review meetings will be incorporated into the final Commissioning Plan. This process may require multiple submissions before the Plan is accepted. Prior to the start of the Commissioning Process testing stage(s) the Contractor must ensure that the following is submitted or complete:

a) Final Commissioning Plan is accepted; b) All asset information for the equipment, process, or facility is entered into Niagara Region’s

EAM; c) Draft Maintenance Manual is accepted by Contract Administrator and Niagara Region, and is

available on-site; d) Red-line as-built drawings are up to date; and e) Red-line as-built Single Line Diagram is completed and available on-site.

Prior to Niagara Region accepting full care and control of the facility, and the Commissioning Process deemed complete, the Consultant and the Contractor must ensure that submitted or completed:

a) Asset information changed during the testing stage(s) is updated in EAM; b) Final red-line as-built drawings are provided to the Consultant; c) Final Single Line Diagram as-built is completed and mounted as per the specifications; and d) Final Operations Manual and Maintenance Manual provided to Niagara Region as per the

specifications. Keeping in mind that some submissions may have multiple iterations before being finalized, the Consultant and Contractor should allow sufficient time for multiple reviews and meetings in their schedules. 6. Equipment or Process In-service It is crucial for compliance purposes that the in-service date for all equipment and/or processes is recorded. The in-service milestone may vary and is dependent on test requirement (i.e. does the equipment or process need to be online to test?). Prior to being placed in-service the Region’s Area Operations Manager will sign-off indicating approval for the equipment or process to be placed in service. The in-service date must reflect the first day that the equipment or process is operational within the facility’s entirety, and used for its intended final purpose(s), and under the Region’s control.

and functionally grouped together. Low-level analog signals of 100mV

or less shall not be combined with digital input or control output wiring

nor shall they be intermixed in the same bundle. All DC signal wiring

shall always be segregated from AC wiring by a minimum of 300mm

clearance between conduits. Analog field shall be wired such that there

is only one series pathway for the signal. Field devices shall include

electrical isolation as necessary to ensure accurate signal transmission

from/to the field device to/from the field controller.
