Release of engineer files
Release of engineer files
(OP)
Hello, I recently was awarded a small job involving a tentative map. The project was started by another engineer, but the developer wants to change engineers. Some of the original engineer's file will be helpful and he doesn't have a problem releasing them to me. The only stipulation given was to send him a letter requesting the files and releasing him as engineer. Does anyone have a sample draft of such a letter? Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

The more important item will be who seals the basemap, for survey accuracy. He can still do, even on your firms title block. But he might not want to. In that case, you will have to have a Surveyor willing to seal it. At a minimum, he should mapchaeck the boundary, and do field edits on topo, at least in the area of work.
