DPM's recently certified staff members are: *Tony Sievers, LEED AP, MCPPO; *Tim Singleton, ASHE, MCPPO; *Marc Zawatsky, LEED AP, CCM, MCPPO. "We have managed a number of successful public projects to date," said Bob Keeley, president of DPM. "Now that Tony, Tim and Marc have achieved this designation, we can further that success and continue to provide significant value to state and local institutions." The Massachusetts Certified Public Purchasing Official (MCPPO) program was established to promote cost-effective, ethical and modern purchasing practices in compliance with Massachusetts contracting laws. It is a requirement of the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) that all owner's project managers involved in procurement for such projects are designated as MCPPO's.
