sparky66wv,
My posting about who mignt be the AHJ was concerned with my interpretation from Code and government entities. Liability is another issue. I believe your knowledge and experience makes you the most liable in this case. All the way from the NFPA, state and local AHJs and individual inspectors there are disclaimers to hold them non-liable for any part they play in determining the safety of the installation. Even some contracts try to hold the engineer non-liable (hold harmless clauses) and put it all on the installing contractor.
I believe that in no case could you be considered the AHJ for this job, but that is just academic if litigation happens. Even if there is no possibility of you being considered liable should injury be caused by the installation, I'm sure you would let your conscience be the main "AHJ".
