Effective March 2008 Technical Certification function became the responsibility of the Office of Capital Improvements (OCI). This program is administered by the Professional Services Division of OCI.

Any firm interested in providing architectural, engineering, landscape architecture, land surveying and mapping, and/or design-build services (professional services) to Miami-Dade County must receive technical certification approval as a component of their Pre-Qualification Certification. The application is reviewed by the County's Technical Certification Committee and approves a firm's eligibility to provide professional services for various Technical Certification Categories. Technical certification must be established at the time of submittal to a Notice to Professional Consultants (NTPC), throughout the selection process, at time of award, and throughout the duration of the contract term without any lapses. A firm's Technical Certification is valid for two (2) years.
