What roles do CORs play in CTIP oversight?

• A. CORs monitor performance against CTIP requirements, collect evidence, and escalate noncompliance to the CO.
• B. CORs draft CTIP policy, designate waste streams, and approve supplier invoices.
• C. CORs manage supplier payroll and perform marketing tasks.
• D. CORs supervise facility cleanliness and safety protocols.

Answer: (A)

The central idea here is what a COR does to oversee CTIP compliance within a contract. A COR acts as the contract’s on-the-ground monitor, ensuring the contractor meets all CTIP requirements embedded in the contract. This means they actively oversee performance against those CTIP obligations, gather and preserve evidence of compliance—such as training records, subcontractor flow-downs, and performance data—and document any gaps or violations. When noncompliance is found, the COR reports it to the contracting officer so that appropriate remedial actions can be taken, up to contract modification or termination if needed.

The other activities described don’t fit the COR role in this context. Drafting CTIP policy is a policy-development function, not day-to-day contract oversight. Designating waste streams, approving supplier invoices, managing payroll, marketing tasks, or supervising facility cleanliness and safety are responsibilities that belong to policy offices, financial/administrative staff, or facility management, not CTIP oversight within a contract.
