In the BERDE Certification Process, which step comes immediately after Sign Proposal?

• A. Check Project Eligibility
• B. Appoint Management Representative
• C. Sign Proposal
• D. Payment

Answer: (D)

After signing the proposal, the next step is to complete the payment. Signing the proposal formalizes the commitment to engage BERDE’s services and outlines the scope and fees, but payment is what activates and funds the processing. Once payment is received, BERDE can allocate the assessment resources, begin formal processing, and move the project into the actual evaluation stages, including document review and any verification activities. In short, signing sets the contract in motion, while payment unlocks the work to move the project toward certification.
