DocumentHandover
Problem NYP is not able to consistently update its master drawings and databases to reflect project changes.
Root Cause• Handover content … not clearly defined• Handover responsibilities …not clearly defined
• Handover process … not clearly defined
Consequences• Information gets stored in multiple locations
Lots of unnecessary work for Project Team Information is difficult to retrieve for Operating Teams
• Information is lost after project NYP has to pay to re-create information (re-survey, re-permit)

An important part of data handover is tagging and barcoding of new equipment.
1) Contractors are obligated to tag the equipment with the Design ID as shown on the drawing schedules (Engineers must use the NYP equipment abbreviations).
2) CxA and specialty subcontractors for Fire Alarm, Fire Suppression and Med Gas must barcode the equipment and produce a list inventory of the equipment and the associated test reports.
The Commissioning Agent will consolidate the list’s and the test reports into handover package #4: “CxA’s MEP Pre‐Move‐In Package”

Process Overview: Barcoding, Testing and Handover
1. Planning of barcoding• CxA coordinates with Asset Mgt Team (Henry Cordova) to
distribute barcodes.• CxA adds the coordination of barcoding and data
collection to the project agenda, and informs all parties (Fire Alarm, Fire Suppression, Med Gas)
2. Before performing testing• The firm that is performing or witnessing the test must
apply the barcode before testing. The barcode must be included in test record.
3. All firms must prepare an Equipment Log• The log must list each piece of equipment and reference
the test report and O&M Manual.• Firms must send their excel Equipment log with the test
reports and O&M Manual, to Commissioning Agent.
4. The CxA will collect all asset information• CxA consolidates information and submits to the NYP
Project Team as the “Pre‐Move‐In MEP Handover Package.”

2. Once done, move all folders and files into one single ZIP file.
3. Upload the ZIP file to NYP’s Project Management System.
