Pre-Requisites and other available training:
The PPFAD training class is being presented as part of the LPA Qualification Program. It is strongly advised that the first class in the Program, the Core Training Module, is completed by the LPA Responsible Charge designee and other key agency representatives before attending the PPFAD class. The Core Training Module is required for any agency submitting a project application and includes a thorough overview of the agreements that govern a LPA project and the duties and responsibilities of the local entity Responsible Charge and the DOTD. Another class, Construction, Engineering and Inspection (CEI) is also available. This class covers the CEI aspect of construction projects including the responsibilities of all parties; chain of communication; use of Site Manager for project management; invoicing and cost reimbursement; project closeout and other topics to successfully complete a project. The CEI class must be completed by the LPA representatives (the Entitys CEI project engineer; consultant, if applicable, and Responsible Charge) prior to the construction contractor award. However, it is advised that the CEI class be completed as soon as possible once a LPA begins the project development process.
