Re: City of Meridian QLPE Review
Wells Subdivision
Keller Associates has reviewed the Wells Subdivision construction plans dated August 9, 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. cceptance 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.
