Response to Question on DCAMM Certification
The following question was received via email:
"I was looking over the scope of work and I didn’t see an estimation for the job, do you know if the GC must be DCAMM certified for this project? Thank you!"
Response:
Thank you for the question. We expect the cost to be below the DCAMM threshold, but we intend to issue an addendum in the near future pulling a couple of items out as alternates in case the total exceeds the $150k amount. Also, please note that the mandatory site visit has been moved up to tomorrow (8/8/24) at 9AM.
