1.02 PURPOSE The purpose of this manual is to satisfy the directive in Eugene Code 7.085 by providing design standards for construction, reconstruction or repair of public improvements to be constructed within areas under the City's jurisdiction. This manual includes information for the design, plan preparation, and related construction requirements for both publicly- and privately -initiated work. To further facilitate consistency, the bulk of this manual is its appendices, which consist of related resources and regulations. Naturally, these standards neither address all situations nor absolve professional competency. As provided in Section 1.03, the City may approve systems not included in this manual for special conditions and/or environmental constraints. 1.03 PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER LISCENSE REQUIRED - VERIFICATION An Oregon Registered Professional Engineer shall place their seal on all documents in accordance with ORS 672.020, OAR 820-010-0620, and OAR 820-010-0621. Licensed professionals in other disciplines may apply their seal to documents in accordance with OAR 820-010-0623 provided the work is within their education, training, expertise and licensure as defined by Oregon law. The seal of another professional in no way absolves the Project Engineer's responsibility to manage the project in its entirety. In January of each year, the Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) leads for the City's project teams will check the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineering and Land Surveying (OSBEELS) database to determine if the professional engineering licenses for the engineers on their teams are active prior to the first time the engineer's stamps are used. For those licenses scheduled to expire in June, the CAD leads will check the OSBEELS database again at the end of July to determine whether those mid -year licenses have been renewed and continue to be active. If licenses are found to be inactive, the CAD leads will immediately notify the engineers whose license are inactive and the principal engineers. Expiration dates for the stamps will not be updated in CAD until the OSBEELS database has been checked tq confirm the licenses are active. At no time will expired stamps be placed on review plans, final plans or as -built sheets. The City's PEPI Manager or designee shall check OSBEELS database to determine if the professional engineering licensees for engineers on PEPI projects are active prior to PEPI plan.approval. PEPI plans must be approved with the seal of an active Professional Engineer. 1.04 DESIGN EXCEPTIONS AND DEVIATIONS These standards are not intended to limit innovation or creativity, particularly when such efforts result in higher quality and/or lower costs.
