Question

Hannah Ensley, P.E. manages the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida office of a large multidiscipline engineering consultant. She is an experienced civil engineer but she supervises a team of professional mechanical, electrical and structural engineers. Plans produced by those departments are always signed and sealed by the engineer in responsible charge of the work but Hannah always reviews the plans to insure that they are in compliance with Florida's unique "Responsibility Rules" set by the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. She knows that engineers and firms who fail to follow these rules are subject to disciplinary action by the board. Likewise, they can avoid disciplinary actions by observing the procedures listed in those rules. She treats the Responsibility Rules as her final checklist for every project. Chapter 61G15-30 -Responsibility Rules Common to All Engineers -Chapter 61G15-31 - Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Concerning the Design Of Structures Chapter 61G15 -32 -Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Concerning the Design Of Fire Protection Systems - Chapter 61G15-33 - Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Concerning the Design Of Electrical Systems -Chapter 61G15-34 Mechanical Systems Chapter 61G15-35-Responsibility Rules of Professional Engineers Providing Threshold Building Inspection -Chapter 61G15-36 - Product Evaluation The following four questions address the Responsibility Rules Common to all Engineers and for structural, electrical and mechanical designs. The Responsibility Rules are among the most important and yet least known provisions of the Laws & Rules. Some or all of the last three questions will be outside your discipline of engineering but the few minutes that it takes yon to review those sections of the rules and answer the questions will add to your enlightenment and aid you when supervising or interacting across disciplines. Hannah Ensley definitely has the right idea! The "Responsibility Rules Common to All Engineers" lists the minimum requirements for engineering documents. When prepared for inclusion with an application for a general building permit, the documents shall include all of the following EXCEPT [Keyword: Minimum Requirements] a. Information that provides material specifications required for the safe operation of the system that is a result of engineering calculations, knowledge and experience. b. List Federal, State, Municipal, and County standards, codes, ordinances, laws, and rules, with their effective dates, that the Engineering Documents are intended to conform to c. A statement that the Engineering Documents conform to the Code of Conduct of the Florida Board of Professional Engineers. d. Information, as determined by the Engineer of Record, needed for the safe and efficient operation of the system. e List engineering design criteria: reference project specific studies, reports, and delegated engineering documents f. Identity clearly elements of the design that vary from the governing standards and depict identify the alternate method used to ensure compliance with the stated purpose of these Responsibility Rules.

Explanation / Answer

Since,alternate method for design is not the minimum requirement. Therefore,option f will not come under "Responsibility Rules Common to All Engineers".

Hence, correct option is f.
