PE Seal On Details
PE Seal On Details
(OP)
Hi all!
The local water/sewer provider in our area is requiring that we use their details which are being provided in a PDF format with their title block, etc... These details are not to be revised, are to be shown on our plans as provided, and are not stamped/sealed by a PE from the water/sewer provider.
Since we are not preparing the details and are not to revise them, should the details being provided be signed/sealed by a professional engineer from the water/sewer provider?
As a professional engineer, I think they should and I do not think it is appropriate that I stamp/seal them since they were not prepared under my direct supervision.
I am interested in what others think on this topic.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have handled standard details three different ways over the years, depending on company and agency practice:
1. Include copies of the standard details in the plan set. In this case, I would stamp and sign the sheet as part of the plan set, but I would also include a note like Ron suggests.
2. Include copies of the standard details in an appendix in the specifications book. The appendix divider sheet would include a note like Ron suggests. The cover or inside cover of the spec book gets stamped and signed, but no other pages.
3. Refer to the standard details in call-outs, but do not include them in either the plans or the spec book. A typical call-out would read like this: "Fire hydrant assembly per City of Podunk Standard Detail W-5."
I prefer Method #3. It's quick, it's clean, and it's the least amount of work on my part.
