The Government does not guarantee the accuracy or adequacy of the existing as-built drawings. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to field-verify all as-built drawings during preliminary site visits and planning of the project. The Contractor shall be responsible for the reproduction of these drawings as needed.

(2). The TO will identify the sizes of drawings, either Standard D (24” x 36”) or Standard B (12” x 18”), to be submitted with the proposal and each subsequent review milestone (65%, 95%, and 100%). The contractor shall supply all contract drawings prepared using AutoCAD software (version 2014 or previous). Line quality shall not be half-toned or gray scaled below 75%. Drawings produced using another software package will be acceptable provided all drawings are converted to standard AutoCAD drawing file format prior to receipt by the Government and comply with the Minot AFB CAD standards and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) CAD Standards v 6.0. Minot AFB CAD standards are presented in the Minot Design Compatibility Guidelines (Minot DCG). In addition, the Contractor shall comply with the following standards:

a. Drawing files shall be delivered in the standard AutoCAD “.dwg” file format for AutoCAD (version 2014 or previous). “Model space” shall be the preferred method for drafting all drawing items such as floorplans, sections, details…. Dimensions, leaders, and notes… specific to the drafted item shall accompany the object drawn in “Model Space” and be scaled accordingly to appear in paper space at the correct text height as specified. Only general notes applicable to the entire drawing shall be drawn in paperspace. Drawing units shall be set according to the requirements for the drawing discipline; i.e., civil drawing units shall be set to the decimal format, and architectural drawings set to the architectural format. Civil site plans shall be in World Geodetic System (WGS) 84, UTM 14N, with all site plans oriented with north at the top of the sheet. Any reorientation of a view for drafting convenience shall be done within the viewport using the “Dview” and “Twist” commands. Objects in model space shall not be rotated. The Contractor shall supply a written explanation as to how externally referenced drawings are used, view-port scales/settings, viewport layer settings, blocks, and any other relevant information necessary for the Technical Support Section at Minot AFB to make changes or updates to the drawings. The Contractor must also be available for phone assistance to clarify any other problems encountered by the Technical Support Section. “Paperspace” shall be used to format the final plotted drawing sheet. Standard plotted paper size shall be a “D” size sheet unless otherwise specified. All drawings shall use the standard Minot AFB project title block. The title block shall not be altered by the contractor. Only TO specific data shall be edited within the title block.

b. All drawings shall be submitted on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM disks. If disks are delivered at various stages of the project, they shall be labeled accordingly, i.e., 65% review, 100% for construction, or As-Built.

c. All External Referenced (XREF) drawings shall be located and linked correctly to ensure the xref will load properly. Multiple xref drawings will be allowed, but nested xref drawings shall not be used. XREF drawings shall be drawing files separate from the drawing files to which they are attached. Xref drawings shall not contain other xref drawings, i.e., nested externally referenced drawings. The Contractor shall provide complete typewritten instructions for reintegrating the drawings and must specify which XREF goes with which drawing.

d. All lettering (text) shall be sized so that finished drawings, prior to half-scale reduction, incorporate text sizes of 1/2-inch for major titles, 1/4-inch for titles, 1/8- inch for notes, and 3/32-inch for dimensions. Larger text sizes may be used as part of the Title Sheets only. Text fonts shall be as determined in the CADD standards identified in the Minot DCG. Only text fonts/styles native to the basic AutoCAD package shall be used. No unique fonts or styles developed by the Contractor or design firm shall be used. All detail notes, leaders, and dimensions must be legible when reproduced at half scale.

e. The Contractor shall be provided a copy of layer standards utilized by the Minot AFB Execution Support Section upon request. All layers shall have narrative descriptions easily identified (i.e., walls, elec., etc.).

f. Use of third party development software is acceptable provided all drawing files submitted are in native AutoCAD format. Any features peculiar to the development software used, such as shape files, menus, blocks, etc. that are not accessible using the basic AutoCAD package are not acceptable and shall be modified to ensure the drawing files may be easily edited or changed by government personnel using the basic AutoCAD software package.

g. Final AutoCAD drawing files should exhibit good drafting practice allowing for minimal storage requirements. Drawings should make use of features to limit drawing size/complexity wherever possible. Over-detailing (drawing features that are not discernible at full or half scale reproduction) is not acceptable and must be avoided.

h. Each drawing file will contain only one final plotted drawing sheet. Drawing files shall have no more than one layout tab.

i. Submitted drawing files shall be accompanied by a complete hard copy list of drawing file names, layers used, etc. The project number and list of drawings contained on each disk will be written on a label affixed to the disk. Drawing file name shall be in accordance with the Minot DCG standards.

j. All contract drawings to be furnished shall be well prepared, complete, and accomplished in accordance with the best professional practice to show clearly and concisely the type and extent of work to be performed. All drawings shall be drawn to appropriate scales and dimensioned completely and accurately. Extensive explanatory notes on the drawings are undesirable and should be placed in the specifications. The use of fractions less than 1/8” for building dimensions will be avoided. Standard building material indications and standard symbols for civil items and for electrical equipment shall be used to the greatest extent possible.

(3). Throughout the design process, each submittal shall be clearly identified as to the level of completion (i.e., 35%, etc.). The “revisions” blocks on the plan sheets shall not be utilized to document changes to the drawings until after the 100% design is completed and accepted by the government.

(4). The Contractor shall prepare drawings, as specified in the TO, for Government approval prior to the start of construction. The drawings developed by the contractor beyond the 35% point shall conform to industry standards relating to good design and drafting practices. All completed drawings shall clearly identify the work being performed under the TO. All project drawing sets shall contain a “key plan” that indicates the location of the work to be performed. The key plan may be shown on the cover sheet with the location indicated within an overall plan of the base site plan. The key plan should indicate the planned route for hauling materials within the base road system. For smaller projects within a larger building/facility, include a plan of the larger facility that shows the location of the specific work within the larger facility. Each sheet shall have an approved title block and border with professional certification when required by the TO. The title block shall contain project information including, but not limited to, Project #, TO #, Project Name, and submitted date. Basic design criteria utilized for each discipline will be included on the appropriate drawings as required by the TO. Examples would include wind and live/dead loads assumed for structural elements, function specific conditions such as lighting levels or future use considerations for electrical systems, site specific climatic design conditions for mechanical systems, and International Building Code analysis (performed to the same level as if being applied to a building permit process).
