What is your opinion on the following:
1. The engineer of record E.O.R. puts a notation on his/her construction plans that states or implies the site contractor is responsible for the preparation of the engineering record drawings? The engineer will review, sign and seal the record drawings prepared by the contractor or the contractors sub-consultant. Did the E.O.R. violate standard engineering practices, laws, ethics etc. by signing and sealing record drawing not prepared under his/her direct supervision?
2. The developer's contract with the site contractor includes the preparation of Engineering Record Drawings. The engineer will review, sign and seal the record drawings prepared by the contractor or the contractors sub-consultant. Did the E.O.R. violate standard engineering practices, laws, ethics etc. by signing and sealing record drawings not prepared under his/her direct supervision?
3. In Florida Engineer's practice pursuant to F.S. 471 F.A.C. 61G15, Surveyors practice pursuant to F.S. 472 F.A.C. 5J-17. Is there a difference between a Record Survey and Record Drawing? Can a surveyor prepare sign and seal the engineers record drawings with violating standard practices, laws, ethics etc?
