3.2.2. Text

3.2.2.1. Text shall be 1/8”minimum height. 3/32” is allowed for details. Do not use stacked fractions. This applies to all notes and dimensions.

3.2.2.2. Where practicable, avoid special AutoCAD characters (i.e. Use “DIA” instead of the special character for diameter: %%C.)

3.2.2.3. Use font: Calibri or Arial; or submit a similar font to the COR for approval.

3.4. Document transmission.

3.4.1. VA email servers limit file sizes to 5MB per message.

3.4.2. Construction Contractor shall provide a secured File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site to transfer all contract electronic submittals.

The FTP site shall be accessible by VA staff using Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).

3.4.3. AutoCAD Drawings

Manufacturers’ operation manuals are not sufficient as they do not pertain to how the equipment is operated as a system. The chiller plant automation will be very complex therefore, the manual shall explain all plant settings, their adjustable ranges, and the settings at time of beneficial occupancy.

3.5.1.2. The supporting electrical gear shall be supplied with the owner’s manual of similar detail to the chiller plant owner’s manual.
