Case context
The construction contractor separately retained Engineer B — a chemical engineer — for structural footing design on the design/build industrial facility project without verifying that Engineer B possessed structural engineering competence.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.84
Importance
high
Obligated party
Construction Contractor
Obligation statement
The construction contractor was obligated, before retaining Engineer B for the sole and exclusive purpose of structural footing design, to verify that Engineer B's academic degree and professional experience aligned with the structural engineering demands of the task, rather than assuming that a PE license was sufficient qualification.
Temporal scope
Before executing the retention agreement with Engineer B for structural footing design
Relationships
Source Evidence
Source text
The construction contractor's separate retention of a chemical engineer for structural footing design — without verifying that Engineer B possessed the requisite structural engineering competence — implicates the contractor's own obligation to ensure that retained engineers are qualified for the specific tasks assigned.
Text references
It appears under the facts that Engineer B was retained specifically for the sole and exclusive purpose of designing the structural footings in question.
