Fortunately the exclusion in the bid letter helps as it definitely brings up conversation at bid time and we at least get paid if it is required. It would be better if it was clear though; the extra time for hiring our own PE kills some projects, not to mention waiting on all the approvals afterward and revisions if any.

I just wish there was some way to make it clear - that a Seal on our shop drawings is not the intent however a review stamp is from the engineer of record for the project. This happens in projects to us outside of TN as well. Bobby Gillett Sr. Project Manager Key Fire Protection, Inc.
