Engineer’s Design Certification
Overview
The State Highway Access Code provides a process for non-CDOT engineers to design improvements to
the State Highway system in order to accommodate access changes. By law, this engineer becomes the
official “Engineer of Record” and is responsible to provide a design that meets applicable state and federal
standards and specifications. CDOT’s role is quality assurance to ensure that the Engineer of Record
provides a design that is in general conformance to CDOT standards. This certification provides written
documentation to CDOT that the Engineer of Record understands and agrees to the requirements of this
responsibility.
Design Certification
Permit Number(s): 307157
My signature below confirms the following statements:
• I am the Colorado Registered Professional Engineer of Record for the permit(s) referenced above,
• All items required by this Checklist have been addressed. I understand that this Checklist will be
incorporated into the Notice to Proceed as an Exhibit, and is therefore binding on the Permittee,
• To the best of my knowledge and belief, I affirm that the associated construction plans,
specifications, and estimates are in substantial compliance with applicable design standards and
specifications,
• The associated construction plans, specifications, and estimates address all design-related permit
terms and conditions.
