Message
I am responding at the request of Steve Graham, Plumbing Inspector for the City of
Springfield. The following Oregon Administrative Rule 918-780-0040 (4) States
"Issuance of a permit or approval of plans shall not prevent the authority having
jurisdiction from requiring correction of errors in plans and specifications or from
preventing construction operations when in violation of the Plumbing Specialty Code or
of any other ordinance or from revoking any certificate of approval when issued in error."
Your phone message stated you are requesting either the City of Springfield or Clair and
Associates to reimburse Wildish for work performed by your company for a correction
which was required by Steve Graham for work that was in violation of the State
Plumbing Specialty Code. Just because there was a discrepancy from what was shown
on the approved drawings to what existed in the field does not relieve you from doing
what is required by the Code. Steve had authority under the above rule to require the
correction be made.
