Inquiry
In yet another variation on the theme of what qualifies as "Indepedent" for tasks 1-3 of EAc3, we have an MEP firm writing a performance spec for the HVAC system of our project. The performance spec writer is a consultant to the owner. After the performance spec is complete, the MEP systems will be turned over to a design-build firm who is a sub of the General Contractor, and the performance spec writer will have nothing further to do with the design. The design-build sub will design the MEP systems to the spec created by the performance spec writer. Our question is whether the performance spec writer may also serve as the commissioning agent for EAc3\'s tasks 1-3.
