We are certifying a Project and we are preparing the documentation for the EQ credit 3.2 Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan – Before Occupancy.
This building is a 3 floor, LEED BD+C v2009 Major Renovation, and was divided in two phases (1st Phase-2nd Floor and 2nd Phase: 1th Floor and Ground floor). For the 1st phase it was possible to do the flush-out but for the 2nd phase it will not be possible to implement the flush-out because this will impact on the delivery schedule.
We would like to know if it is possible to perform an Air Testing for the 2nd Phase of this building and have the credit documented with Flush-out in the 2nd floor and Air Test for the 1st and Ground Floor.

The FAQ above addresses this.
While It is not officially accepted by USGBC, the reference guide states "Option 1 OR Option 2" and the credit template states "Select one of the following".
Also, LEED v4 reference guide has been written such that the options cannot be combined.
A CIR may be required, but my opinion is that USGBC will not allow both options.

How does one use or prepare a Construction IAQ Plan (IEQc3.1) for establishing guidelines for a HVAC Contractor's IAQ report ?

The v2009 NC EQ c3.1 'Documentation Toolkit' section on LEEDuser has a Construction IAQ Management Plan During Construction template.
It includes all the items required to be addressed to demonstrate compliance with EQc3.1.
