10. HANDOVER PROCEDURES
University of Bristol Re-issue date Building Services February 2006
Page 1 of 22
10. HANDOVER PROCEDURES The handover of refurbished areas or new buildings to the University is a critical
point in a contract process. In order that the operation of the building continues in a smooth and efficient manner after handover it is important that information is available to the Maintenance Teams who may be called to attend to plant or equipment. The following section outlines the necessary steps to be taken during handover.
10.1 Handover Procedures - Guiding Principles At the point of practical completion of works responsibility for
operational matters concerning the particular work area reverts back to the normal arrangements between the user department and the Maintenance Teams. Clearly there is still a need to be mindful of the contractual liability still applying but the responsibility for dealing with any new plant or equipment problem in the work area rests with the Maintenance Team.
Practically complete work areas should therefore be in a sufficient state
of completeness to avoid a significant level of problems being passed on to the Maintenance Team who will have relatively little experience of the new plant or equipment.
At the point of handback of the area concerned a member of the
Maintenance Team should visit site and formally agree that the work area is finished and sufficient information is available regarding any new plant or equipment, which may need operational support. Should the Maintenance Team representative not be happy with the state of completion, the area will not be accepted and this will prevent the processing of the final account invoice when received.
In order to achieve a smooth transition back into normal operation the
Maintenance Team must be familiarised with the work that has been done under contract and Maintenance team sign-off must be completed on the checklist for handover (Appendix 10/5). Time must be allowed for this process before arriving at the practical completion handover point.
10.2 Handover Information There is a variety of information that needs to be handed over to the
Maintenance Team in support of continued operational involvement in an area that has undergone contract work. A number of formal test documents are required in relation to statutory requirements on Engineering Service items, for further details please refer to Appendix 10/5 - Check List for Handover.
10.3 Operation and Maintenance Manual (O&M) In addition to this there needs to be an Operation and Maintenance
Manual (O & M) covering building services and/or specialist equipment items along with details of any significant building items that may need on-going attention. In complex buildings or new or refurbished areas, training for the Maintenance Teams must also have been provided.

In all cases this information should be made available, in draft form: - a minimum of 2 weeks before the point of issue of the certificate of
practical completion (for minor projects). - a minimum of 2 months before the point of issue of the certificate of practical completion (for major projects).
The availability of this information should be regarded as a contractual
requirement. The draft O & M manuals shall be forwarded to the Building Services
Office Administrator, along with the O & M receipt form (Appendix 10/3) with the top section completed. Please note one receipt form should be completed for each service type. The Office Administrator will arrange for viewing by and comments from the appropriate Building Services staff, which will be collated and passed back to the Project Manager to progress, within 2 weeks of the O & M receipt.
It has been established that draft O&Ms need to be reviewed by the
following staff in Building Services before returning comments to the Project Manager:
• Works Officer
• Electrical/Mechanical Services & Design Engineers (as applicable) • Maintenance/Works Coordinators (for Building) • Shift Coordinator • Surveyor (for Building) • Senior Engineer • Contracts Engineer • Energy & Environmental Manager • Infrastructure Projects Co-ordinator
Comments will be submitted on standard report forms that will be
provided by the Building Services Office Administrator (Appendix 10/4a-10/4c). The draft O & M manuals will be retained by Building Services, referenced by the Office Administrator and stored in the O&M Library until replaced by final O & M manuals.
The Final O & M manuals shall be provided as two hard copies and one
electronic copy. The final O & M manuals shall be forwarded to the Building Services
Office Administrator, who shall complete the relevant section of the original O & M receipt form and reference/file one hard copy in the O & M library (replacing any drafts) and place an electronic copy on the Property Drive. The additional hard copy manual will be stored with the appropriate Maintenance Co-ordinator for 12 months and then transferred on site/with user.
Electronic manuals on the Property Drive will be saved under the related
building in a sub-folder titled ‘O&M Manuals’ located in the parent folder ‘Records’.

Master copies will be saved as pdf files in a sub-folder named ‘Master Copy’. Updated manuals will be saved as Word documents and any drawings as dwg files in a subfolder named ‘Live Updates’. Any manuals covering more than one building will be saved under either the specific site sub folder or if effecting more than one site the ‘Estate General’ sub folder.
To assist with the upload of pdf documents onto the departmental
web page an additional subfolder has been created titled ‘Live Web Documentation’. An additional copy of the Master pdf documentation will also be saved here when new electronic O&M’s are received.
These folders will be set up with the following restricted access: - Records – Restricted to Building Services/CPO staff
- Building Safety File – Read Only (Office Administrator able to update)
- O&M Manuals/Master Copy – Read Only (Office Administrator able to update)
- O&M Manuals/Live Update – Restricted to Building Services/CPO staff
- Live Web Documentation - Restricted to Building Services/CPO staff

SITE BUILDING GENERAL LIVE WEB DOCUMENTATION MAINTENANCE MASTER DRAWINGS PROJECTS PROJECT NO./NAME RECORDS ASBESTOS SURVEYS BUILDING SAFETY FILE O&M MANUALS LIVE UPDATES MASTER COPY
It is the responsibility of anyone updating master documentation to save
the altered copy in the ‘Live Updates’ sub-folder as a word document (for text) and also save over the pdf copy (in pdf format) in the ‘Live Web Documentation’ folder.
In all cases this information should be made available before the point of
issue of the certificate of practical completion and the availability of this should be regarded as a contractual requirement and certification of the appropriate valuation can be denied.
If necessary funds can be withheld under retention to cover the cost of
reproducing the necessary O & M information although this is unsatisfactory as it does nothing to provide the information at the point of handover.

10.4 Record Drawings It is important to record any modifications to existing buildings so that
future work in these areas can be carried out from a known, recorded, "base-line". Naturally the availability of drawings is no substitute for an actual visit or survey but this can be made much easier if all significant works to a building are recorded.
In many cases it will be sufficient to record the design and tender
drawings as representing the status of the building, so long as significant variations did not occur during execution of the works. However, this is not always the case with services where often installation drawings vary significantly form the tender information.
In the case that record drawings are to be provided by the contractor
these should be regarded as forming part of the O & M information and treated accordingly, see 10.3 above. Once received electronically these drawings will be registered and filed within the departmental master drawing system by the CAD Technician who will be notified of the receipt of new drawings within O & M information by the Office Administrator.
10.5 Building Safety Files In addition to the above it is a statutory requirement that information
affecting the safe use of a building or future refurbishment/demolition be recorded in a building safety file. A system of building safety files exists in which any significant new information must be recorded. Master copies of these files, the "Blue Folders", are kept in the Technical Library and are referenced by building name. Any new information must be referenced in the index and copies sent to any other holders of the files, e.g. Security Office.
Any existing electronic building safety files are saved in a sub-folder
titled ‘Records’ on the P drive under the related building. See section 10.3 for an illustration of the drive layout.
It is important to record the following information in the safety file: 1. Changes to means of escape or fire protection generally.
2. Changes to the fire alarm system or loop addressing. 3. Changes to the isolation of main services. 4. Introduction of new hazardous areas, e.g. radioactive
laboratories. 5. Removal of hazardous areas, e.g. radioactive laboratories. 6. New licenses or statutory test certificates.
A standard index for each safety file exists. Health and Safety files received from contractors as part of project
works are reviewed and referenced in the same manner as O & M files. Reviewer comments will be submitted on standard report form that will be provided by the Building Services Office Administrator (Appendix 10/4d).

The draft Health & Safety files will be retained by Building Services, referenced by the Office Administrator and stored in the O&M Library until replaced by final Health & Safety files in the form of two hard copies and one electronic copy.
10.6 Handling of Latent Defects When latent defects on refurbished or new buildings arise it is important
to establish problem "ownership", so that a clear communication channel exists back to the original contractor. The usual route for dealing with this situation will be through the original Project Manager or Contract Supervisor, who will formally take this up with the main contractor concerned. There may be technical reasons why others should take this role and this needs to be agreed with the parties concerned.
In most circumstances management of a latent defect issue will be
through the main contractor who carried out the work. If this company has ceased trading it may be necessary to progress a claim through sub-contractors or suppliers although this course of action is less likely to succeed, as no contractual relationship with the University necessarily exists. Advice should be sought from the Assistant Director (Building Services) or University Senior Surveyor in such cases.
Work carried out under Design and Building terms carries a greater
degree of defects cover since the contractor takes responsibility for all aspects of design as well as quality and workmanship. Those who have experience of this term of contract and who were initially involved in the specification and contract acceptance procedure should handle claims arising in this situation.
10.7 Notice of Completion At least 14 working days prior to the planned Handover meeting, the
Project Manager/Contract Administrator shall issue the Preliminary Notice of Completion Certificate to the circulation list on the Form (Appendix 10/1).
This will give notice to the maintenance teams of the meeting so that the
completed Contract can be accepted for maintenance, or if not considered acceptable in terms of completion, documentation or training the Works Officer or his Representatives will decline to accept the contract works.
In addition the Project Manager/Contract Administrator shall submit to
the Building services Testing department, a completed Testing Tick-sheet (Appendix 10/2). This information is used to maintain the asset database and ensure that appropriate testing and inspections are carried out.
10.8 Check List for Handover Please see appendix 10/5 for the Handover Check List, this is not
inclusive but is the minimum requirement for the Handover documentation:
