Kath,
Thanks a lot for your response.
I don't think I was clear of our problem. J R Loring's Washington offfice is our MEP engineer. The CxA for Fundamental commissioning is the engineer from their NewYork office since this is a building less than 50,000 SF area. We like to use the same for enhanced commissioning as well. Is this okay do you think?

I'm not sure. Here's why...In one of our recent LEED reviews, we were told we had used an inappropriate CxA. The reviewer wrote every project must use a "Disinterested party; subcontractor to the A/E; Construction Manager not holding constructor contracts; Independent consultant contracted to Owner; or Owner employee or staff" for Enhanced Cx. I can see how they might question Loring NYC office as being part of D.C. office. I'm sure this has been resolved as an issue but I can't find a direct reference. Sorry. Can anyone help here?
