No local public entity, charter city, or charter county shall require a bidder to assume responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of architectural or engineering plans and specifications on public works projects, except on clearly designated design build projects.

The review by the contractor shall be confined to the contractor’s capacity as a contractor, and not as a licensed design professional.
