Drawing Signatures

Drawing Signatures

Consultant drawings are signed by the consultant and by the District. The drawing border contains slots for the titles and Professional Engineer registration numbers for each signer. The actual signatures and titles will vary from one project to the next, and may also change during a project. The Consultant shall request verification of the exact wording and placement of the signature titles, in writing, before the 90% review submittal of the drawings.

District Signatures

Each drawing shall contain the title and P.E. number of the Project Manager or Engineer, the Senior Engineer, and the Division Manager. The "List of Drawings" sheet is also signed by the Director of Engineering. Other titles may be required at the discretion of the Project Manager or Engineer. See the sample title block for an example of the District's signature titles.

Consultant Signatures

Every drawing requires the consultant's signatures. The minimum signatures required on each drawing include the Designer, the Design Checker, and the Project Manager or Engineer (with California P.E. number). In addition, the "List of Drawings" sheet shall be signed by the Principal-in-Charge for the project. Each drawing shall also be stamped, in the lower left corner, with the Professional Engineer stamp of the Project Manager or the Principal-in-Charge. Other signatures are optional, and may be added to the drawing at the discretion of the consultant.

Electronic Signatures

The District permits the use of electronic signatures on drawings. The consultant shall obtain approval from the District's Project Manager or Project Engineer before using electronic signatures.
