Consultant inspection
(OP)
Is there any reason to object if a consultant proposes using a P.E. when the RFP requires a NICET IV? This is for bridge and highway projects. I've just been checking ther person's resume, making sure they have inspection experience, and trusting that they wouldn't work outside their expertise.

There's usually a pretty good difference between the unit rates of a licensed engineer and a technician, even with NICET IV. Consultant trying to keep staff busy? Will they trade him out when something better comes along?

In your RFP do you ask for the names of key staff and do you allow substitutions? Maybe the firm doesn't have a N-IV or as Ron said, they have to keep the staff busy.
