Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-30.003 - Minimum Requirements for Engineering Documents
(1) Engineering Documents are prepared in the
course of performing engineering services. When prepared for inclusion with an
application for a general building permit, the Documents shall meet all
Engineer's Responsibility Rules, set forth in Chapters 61G15-31, 61G15-32,
61G15-33, and 61G15-34, F.A.C., and be of sufficient clarity to indicate the
location, nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that the
proposed work will conform to all applicable standards, codes, laws,
ordinances, rules and regulations in effect at the time the Documents are
sealed, signed and dated, as determined by the AHJ. The Documents shall
include:
(a) Information that provides
material specifications required for the safe operation of the system that is a
result of engineering calculations, knowledge and experience.
(b) If the Engineering Documents are intended
to comply with requirements of any edition of federal, state, municipal, or
county standards, codes, ordinances, laws, or rules, other than those currently
in effect, the Engineering Documents must clearly state the edition and
effective dates the Documents are intended to conform to.
(c) Information, as determined by the
Engineer of Record, needed for the safe and efficient operation of the
system.
(d) List engineering design
criteria; reference project specific studies, reports, and delegated
Engineering Documents.
(e) Identify
clearly elements of the design that vary from the governing standards and
depict/identify the alternate method used to ensure compliance with the stated
purpose of these Responsibility Rules.
(2) Engineers shall legibly indicate their
name and business address on Engineering Documents. Engineering Documents which
are issued for preliminary or conceptual use shall clearly note the intended
purpose of such Documents.
(3) When
elements of the project are shown on an Engineering Document only for
information or clarification and the Engineer does not intend to accept
responsibility for the elements, the engineer shall clearly note on the
Documents the extent of his responsibility.
(4) Engineering Documents shall be legible
and clearly define and delineate the work in the project. They must also comply
with the requirements of Chapter 61G15-23, F.A.C., Seals.
(5) Engineers shall clearly note on any
preliminary Engineering Documents that such Documents are not in final form,
but are being transmitted to the AHJ to receive agency reviews, comments and
interpretations. The Documents may subsequently be revised by the engineer to
reflect resolution of issues with the AHJ prior to final action by the AHJ.
Changes, revisions and modifications to a project may prompt additional
Document submittal for AHJ approval action on the same
project.
