As usual, time is of the essence. If yes, please e-mail to wayne.yancey@callison.com Thanks, Robert E.

Usually, there are only 3 to 5 seals, and they can fit in the bottom half of the page, with the DoR names and their respective sections/divisions listed above in a wider, centered column. In this case, that column is much longer (7 listings), so the seals are arrayed like a U-shaped necklace around the narrowed center column listing names of the Designers of Record and their respective division and/or section numbers. We call it a “Title sheet” at the top of the page because Texas engineering regulations specifically require that engineers seal the “title sheet” of bound volumes of specifications etc. Also, Texas regulations require that there be a clear explanation near the seals (if more than one) of what is covered by each respective DoR & seal, so we add the list under each name. Finally, we include an explanatory/disclaimer paragraph that excludes documents not covered. The page typically does not bear an issuance date, though the seals are each dated with a signature date. The explanatory paragraph with its disclaimer usually reads something like this: "See Cover for Issuance Date. Specifications divisions and sections bound herein are listed below under the name of the Designer-of-Record responsible for their preparation, under whose seal and authority seal each document so listed is issued for the purpose stated above. Seals and signatures do not apply to documents not included herein, nor to documents prepared by the Owner or others, including (except as otherwise indicated) sections in Division 00 Procurement and Contracting Requirements and Division 01 General Requirements, Geotechnical Reports, etc." The wording is revised slightly for unsealed (e.g., review) issuances—e.g. using “and/or” between “seal and authority.” Wayne Yancey Senior Member Username: wayne_yancey Post Number: 607 Registered: 01-2008 Posted on Thursday, September 12, 2013 - 12:26 pm:    Thanks to everyone who responded. I am good to go with these examples. Wayne
