Case No. 2022060671
Licensee was charged with violating Section 471.033(1)(g), Florida Statutes, and Rule 61G15-19.001(4), Florida Administrative Code, negligence in the practice of engineering. Licensee signed and sealed engineering design documents for a retaining wall and an engineering certification for a residential project in Niceville, Fla. The signed-and-sealed engineering documents contained material deficiencies. The certification was materially deficient because the construction of the wall differed from the design for the retaining wall.

The Board ordered licensee to appear before the Board; imposed an administrative fine of $1,000 and costs of $3,656.70, two years of Probation, successful completion of a basic engineering professionalism and ethics course within one year, successful completion of the Board’s Study Guide within 30 days, and project reviews at six and 18 months. Final Order was filed Oct. 17, 2023.
Violation: Section 471.033(1)(g), Florida Statutes, and Rule 61G15-19.001(4), Florida Administrative Code
