QUESTION:

[Organization] has requested and received RFPs for three water main replacement projects. When reviewing the proposals the question has arisen, “If the construction tenders will be based on the MMCD Documents and the Owner is relying on the Engineering Consultant to provide the Contract Administrator, does the Contract Administrator require to be Certified through the MMCD process?”

COMMENT:

Contract Administrators do not have to be certified to perform their role. However, it helps to have taken the CCA course and written the exam, because the CA is in a unique position. Potential CAs might be asked about their familiarity with GC3.3, Contract Administration, and their level of comfort with the duties required.
