[TowerTalk] Bay Area Structural Engineer Needed

[Steve Jones]

Jerry-

I just received my building permit from San Mateo County for a US Tower 
HDX-589.  The County Building Dept. accepted the CA PE stamp and signature 
on the front of the .pdf copy of the structural calculations package 
provided by US Tower.  I have heard of some jurisdictions requiring a 
"wet-stamp" original  signature, but mine was a copy of the original and 
they accepted it.  If your tower is a commercial design, you should be able 
to obtain the manufacturer's PE structural package as part of their product. 
US Tower said that if needed they could provide an original wet-stamped and 
signed package for an additional charge, but San Mateo County did not 
request this.

Good luck, I feel for you, because they never give you a complete list of 
requirements when you apply.  It seems as if they make up the rules as they 
go along!

73,

Steve
