(c) Public Evaluation forms must always be signed by the Awarding Authority
The evaluations may be prepared by the Awarding Authority’s representative (i.e. general

NOTE: Per 810 CMR 8.09(2)(b), “An Awarding Authority or Owner’s Project Manager may seek

Massachusetts state law requires Public Evaluation Forms be completed by the Awarding Authority

NOTE: A project is deemed “complete” upon use and/or occupancy, or upon issuance of a certificate of
use and/or occupancy, or termination of a Building Project, whichever is earlier.
