RE: AISC Certified Erectors
But as Lutfi said, there could be reasons to consider other erectors. Personally, I generally have had better experiences with certified contractors, so I would avoid waiving the requirement without a compelling reason.

Note to AISC: Not every project makes your magazines. We have lots of masonry buildings with W8 x 18 roofs, with about 10 tons (or less) of steel. Ther needs to be a AISC Certified Lite.

RE: AISC Certified Erectors
I've been involved with a couple of certification/listing type programs (not ASCE) and was not overly impressed. One problem is that such programs are primarily paper-oriented. If you have good paper-shufflers and poor field people, you'll do great. If you have poor paper-shufflers and great field people, you won't. If you do Corps of Engineer work and have more office workers than field workers, then you're probably all set up for all kinds of certifications, but you simply won't be competitive on commercial work. So don't just assume that a good-sounding certification is a good thing, do some checking, see if it matches up to local contractors and practices.
