Nothing precludes the use of prototypical documents, provided the architect has:
(1)
- (A) Written permission to revise and adapt the prototypical documents from the person who either sealed the prototypical documents or is the legal owner of the prototypical documents.
- (B) The term “legal owner” shall mean the person who provides the architect with a letter that he or she is the owner of the documents and has the written permission to allow their use;
(2) Reviewed the prototypical documents and made necessary revisions to bring the design documents into compliance with applicable:
- (A) Codes;
- (B) Regulations; and
- (C) Job-specific requirements;
- (3) Independently performed and maintained on file all necessary calculations;
(4)
- (A) Issued the documents with the architect’s title block and seal after reviewing, analyzing, and making revisions and/or additions.
- (B) By applying the seal, the architect assumes professional responsibility as the architect of record;
- (5) Maintained design control over the use of site-adapted documents just as if they were the original design; and
- (6) The seal and name of the architect who originally developed the prototypical documents, which may remain on the construction documents, provided the original architect is licensed in the State of Arkansas and provided the original architect who prepared the prototypical documents agrees, in writing, to the use of the documents for the construction project by a second architect.
