Head Matter:
Kenneth WALLACE, Appellant, v. POST, BUCKLEY, SCHUH & JERNIGAN, INC., Appellee.
No. 90-2158.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
May 21, 1991.
Philip M. Gerson, Miami, for appellant.
Daniels, Kashtan & Fornaris and Michael Kashtan, Coral Gables, Jeanne Heyward, Miami, for appellee.
Before HUBBART, BASKIN and COPE, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
As the appellee engineering firm is squarely within the definition of construction design professional, § 440.02(25), Fla. Stat. (1989), and as its contractual obligations under its Standard Consulting Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation qualify for the immunity of subsection 440.09(5), Florida Statutes (1989); see also Vorndran v. Wright, 367 So.2d 1070 (Fla. 3d DCA), cert. denied, 378 So.2d 350 (1979), the judgment is affirmed.
