California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 3 — Professions and Vocations Generally, Chapter 7 — Professional Engineers, Article 3 — Application of Chapter, Section 6735.1
The signing of civil engineering plans, specifications, reports, or documents which relate to the design of fixed works shall not impose a legal duty or responsibility upon the person signing the plans, specifications, reports, or documents to supervise the construction of engineering structures or the construction of the fixed works which are the subject of the plans, specifications, reports, or documents. However, nothing in this section shall preclude a civil engineer and a client from entering into a contractual agreement which includes a mutually acceptable arrangement for the provision of construction supervision services. Nothing contained in this subdivision shall modify the liability of a civil engineer who undertakes, contractually or otherwise, the provision of construction supervision services for rendering those services.
Notes
Limits signing civil-engineering plans, specifications, reports, or documents for fixed-work design from itself creating a legal duty to supervise construction of the engineering structures or fixed works. Allows the engineer and client to contract for mutually acceptable construction-supervision services and preserves liability when the engineer undertakes those services by contract or otherwise.
