From the EAc3 form: ''Provide the contract between owner and CxA ensuring CxA involvement post-construction. Financial information may be redacted/omitted''. So, I have to upload that document. However, the company where I work (Sustainability Consulting for LEED) offers the Cx service as well, and we have a contract with the Owner for the whole service (LEED Consulting+Enhanced Cx), but we didn't specify who the CxA would be. So, my question is: Can I upload the contract we have already signed for the whole service? (btw, in this contract, it is stated the involvement post-construction by my company, but it is not specified who the CxA would be) OR Do I have to make a new contract to upload it, but only for the Cx services? (of course specifying who the CxA will be and his involvement post-construction) Any response will be truly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think that your LEED reviewer should be satisfied by seeing the actual contract that is relevant to the project, not a Cx-specific contract drawn up just to have something for this upload. I would probably explain in a short narrative how this contract fulfills the upload requirement.

Thanks for the reply Tristan. Actually, I also think that my current contract (for the whole service:LEED Consulting + Enhanced Cx) is OK to upload for EAc3, along with a short narrative specifying the name and the involvement post-construction of the CxA.
