(a) be certified by a professional engineer or geologist licensed in Utah; and

(3) In the intervening four years following Director approval of a competitive site-specific estimate, a proposed cost estimate that accounts for current site conditions or changes to site conditions under Subsection R313-25-31(14)(b)(ii) shall be submitted by using either:
