6.3.16 Relocation Certification

A Relocation Certification is required for every project. If any ROW was acquired, certification of proper relocation assistance is necessary.
The District Engineer signs project certifications which will be part of the project File of Record. A copy of the signed certifications is submitted, with other supporting documents, to DES for RTL PS&E document review and processing.
For any certification that is not clear prior to letting, a
Triple-Zero – 000 – Special Provision
notification to the contractor must be included in the bid proposal identifying the items that are not clear (e.g., ROW parcels, relocations, etc.) and the anticipated date of clearance. A
Construction Management Plan (CMP)
 must be developed and submitted prior to letting in accordance with the PS&E Review and Processing Schedule. Refer to the CMP SOP for additional guidance.
