(2) The new responsible professional submits in writing that he or she has reviewed all prior reports and approved plans (specified by date and title) and work performed by the prior responsible professional and that he or she concurs with the findings, conclusions and recommendations and is satisfied with the work performed. The new responsible professional must also state that he or she assumes all responsibility within his or her purview as of the specified date.
(B) All exceptions to the requirements of this section must be justified to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
