Section 61G15-31.009 - Design of Structural Steel Systems(1) The engineer of record is responsible for all aspects of the structure's design including the design of components and connections.(2) The engineer of record may detail all structural connections on the structural engineering documents and require fabrication and erection in accordance with these details.(3) Alternately, the engineer of record may specify criteria for the design of the structural connections and identify the nature, magnitude, and location of all design loads to be supported by the connections in the structural engineering documents. The engineer of record may then delegate design responsibility for the selection or modification of the structural connections to a delegated engineer and require delegated engineering documents, which the engineer of record may require to be signed, sealed and dated by the delegated licensed professional engineer.(4) The structural engineering documents may assign to the fabricator responsibility for implementing the design as specified and for maintaining fabrication and erection tolerances and for ensuring the fit and erectability of the structure.(5) The fabricator shall forward fabrication and erection drawings for review by the engineer of record.Fla.
