Is there an Administrative function at VDH or DPOR which will require documentation of licensure?
Currently there appears to be no requirement for any party (owner, EHS, OSE, PE) to verfify the licensure of an installer. Owners have a difficult time negotiating the DPOR website, if they are even aware of the listing system, since cross references are by locality, name or field. There are SDS contractors in the system, who are not certified for Onsite Installation. VDH does not require a license number on the As-built Report, nor the Completion Statement. DPOR seems to have taken the stand that it does not regulate unlicensed contractors, since they only have jurisdiction over those who are licensed. Contractors have paid fees and complied with training and other requirements, but are competing with unlicensed or unqualified individuals and firms.
