Title 59. Professions and Occupations
§59-46.34. Seal of landscape architect.
A. Each licensed landscape architect shall have a seal, the image of which shall contain the name of the landscape architect, the person's license number and the words "Licensed Landscape Architect, State of Oklahoma". All technical submissions prepared by such landscape architect, or under the responsible control of the landscape architect, shall be sealed, signed and dated, which shall mean that the landscape architect was in responsible control over the content of such technical submissions during their preparation and has applied the required professional standard of care. No licensed landscape architect may sign or seal technical submissions unless they were prepared by or under the responsible control of the landscape architect, except that:
1. The person may sign or seal those portions of the technical submissions under the responsible control of persons who are licensed under the State Architectural and Registered Interior Designers Act if the landscape architect has reviewed and adapted in whole or in part such portions and has either coordinated their preparation or integrated them into the work; and
2. The person may sign or seal those portions of the technical submissions that are not required to be prepared by or under the responsible control of a landscape architect if the landscape architect has reviewed and adapted in whole or in part such submissions and integrated them into the work. The seal may be a rubber stamp or may be generated electronically.
B. All drawings, specifications, plans, reports or other papers or documents involving the practice of landscape architecture, shall be dated and bear the signature and seal of the landscape architect or landscape architects who prepared or approved them. It is permissible to only sign, seal and date documents on the first sheet of bound sets of drawings, with index of drawings included, title page of specifications, and other drawings and contract documents in a manner consistent with this act and rules of the Board.
C. The seal, signature and date of the landscape architect may be applied to tracings to produce legible reproduction of the drawings or to reprints made from the tracings. This provision, however, does not in any manner modify the requirements of the other subsections of this section.
D. The license of a landscape architect shall not permit the practice of architecture, engineering or land surveying, except that which is incidental, meaning less than ten percent (10%) of the total cost of the project, to the practice of landscape architecture. No landscape architect shall permit his or her seal to be affixed to any plans, specifications or drawings if such portions thereof as are involved in the practice of his or her particular profession were not prepared by or under the landscape architect's responsible control.
