Question:        Are subconsultants allowed to submit projects for “Form 4 – Professional Personnel for Similar Projects”?  We are submitting as a sub consultant to the Architect, but I wanted to confirm if these projects are only for the Prime/JV, or if sub consultants can also submit projects for Form 4.
Answer:          Both can submit.  They should indicate the projects related to the architect versus the subconsultant.
