(1)

For the purpose of this rule, the following definitions apply:

(b)

“Appurtenant” services are those services that relate to the construction trade, which include constructing, altering, repairing, or improving real estate.

(2)

The engineer registration requirements of ORS 672.002 (Definitions for ORS 672.002 to 672.325) to 672.325 (Civil penalties) do not prevent a construction contractor from offering services constituting the practice of engineering when all of the following conditions are met:

The services offered by the construction contractor, constituting the practice of engineering, are appurtenant to construction services to be provided by the contractor;

(c)

The services constituting the practice of engineering are performed by an engineer or engineers registered under ORS 672.002 (Definitions for ORS 672.002 to 672.325) to 672.325 (Civil penalties); and

(d)

The offer by the construction contractor discloses in writing that the contractor is not an engineer and identifies the registered engineer or engineers that will perform the services constituting the practice of engineering.

(3)

An engineer performing or identified as an engineer that will perform the services constituting the practice of engineering as provided in subsection (2) of this rule must notify the Board in writing, within thirty (30) days if, after the contractor is retained by the owner, the engineer ceases to provide engineering services identified in the offer by the construction contractor.

(4)

Construction contractors who violate any provision of this rule may be practicing engineering or using an engineer title in violation of ORS 672.020 (Practice of engineering without registration prohibited) and 672.045 (Prohibited activities relating to practices of engineering, land surveying or photogrammetric mapping).
