Re: City of Meridian QLPE Review
The Oaks South Subdivision No. 7
Keller Associates has reviewed the Oaks South Subdivision No. 7 construction plans dated January 2,
2018. The plans are approved for construction as allowed under Idaho Code 39-118(2)(d). The
completed "Qualified Licensed Professional Engineer (QLPE) Review and Approval Checklist" (QLPE
Checklist) is attached. The QLPE Checklist was prepared to meet the transmittal letter requirements
specified in IDAPA 58.01.08.504.03(b) and 58.01.16.400.03(b). The plans were marked as "Approved
for Construction".
By stamping and signing the construction plans, the Registered Professional Engineer is responsible to
ensure that said construction plans conform to all City standards, ordinances, and policies (and State
laws and statutes). Any variances or waivers to these standards, ordinances, or policies must be
specifically and previously approved in writing by the City. Acceptance of the above referenced
construction plans does not relieve the Registered Professional Engineer of those responsibilities.
Please note that the certifications required for Sections II(B) and (C) of the QLPE checklist must be
satisfied with a will serve letter and declining balance statement from the City.
Electronic files have been uploaded to the City of Meridian's FTP site in accordance with the terms of
the contract.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Keller Associates at (208) 288-1992.
Sincerely,
KELLER ASSOCIATES, INC.
