(1) No firm shall provide or hold itself out as providing construction management services unless it has a certificate of authority issued by the administrator. If one (1) or more principals or employees of a firm are licensed construction managers, the firm may apply to the administrator for a certificate of authority to provide and hold itself out as providing construction management services. An application for a certificate of authority shall:
(a)  Designate the licensed construction manager or managers, who are principals or employees of the firm, specified to be in responsible charge of construction management services provided by the firm;
(b)  Be accompanied by a statement signed by such licensed construction manager or managers accepting the responsibility and duty to provide construction management services for the firm; and
(c)  Contain such other information as the administrator reasonably may require.
If the administrator concludes that the construction manager or managers designated by the firm is or are licensed in good standing and that the firm meets such other criteria reasonably established by the board, he shall issue a certificate of authority to the firm authorizing it to provide and hold itself out as providing construction management services.
