Contractor Submit Proposed Design to EOR
Contractor Submit Proposed Design to EOR
(OP)
All,
I thought for sure that I recently read a thread on eng-tips that talked about specific codes listing what the contractor is required to submit to the engineer of record. For the life of me, I can't find what I am looking for. I am specifically interested in any code references in the U.S. that state any circumstances where a contractor is required to submit a design to the EOR for approval/rejection. This seems a little backwards to me. Thanks!

You're not crazy. That thread appears to have been deleted. Perhaps that EOR on that job frequents eng-tips in addition to being a crummy EOR. Shame, it was an interesting thread.Oh, scratch that, see above.The takeaway I took from that thread was to look at ACI 132R-14: https://www.concrete.org/store/productdetail.aspx?... and that ACI 318-14 Commentary Section R26.1:
From these I've personally concluded that engineering to the code should be done by the engineer of record unless it's specifically delegated to the contractor in the bid documents.
