The standard published by the Tri-Services CADD/GIS Technology Center (complies with the National CAD Standard) can be obtained at http://tsc.wes.army.mil/products/standards/aec/intro.asp . Contact the project Contracting Officer for questions and clarifications.

B. The content and level of detail of CAD drawings shall be as specified in other sections of these specifications, or in the Special Provisions.

C. The Contractor is expected to have the experience and expertise to complete CAD drawings in accordance with these specifications without multiple iterations of submittal/rejection. The U.S. Coast Guard can answer questions to clarify the standards, but will not train the contractor. If the Contractor demonstrates the inability to follow these specifications, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to contract out the work to another organization and deduct sufficient funds to pay for the drafting, administrative, and all other direct and indirect costs incurred in doing so.

D. All drawing for Schematic design phases, and beyond must be produced using this standard in conjunction with AutoCADTM Release 2005. The U.S. Coast Guard cannot accept object-enabled drawings at this time. Drawings that were created with architectural, civil, mechanical or other discipline-specific products must not include imbedded objects.

E. No external references (XREFs) may be included in the completed drawing. Prior to submission all XREFs shall be bound to each drawing file using the ‘insert’ method.

F. Drawings which have image files attached shall be delivered with all the attached images. Attached image files shall be named with the drawing name as a prefix and image number as a suffix (e.g. 12X34567_A1_001.tif, 12X34567_A1_002.jpg, 12X34567_A1_003.gif, etc). Attached images shall reference the images out of the same folder as the drawing file. Valid image formats and resolutions are specified below.

G. Color, Lineweight, and Plot Style shall be assigned to drawing elements ‘BYLAYER’ or ‘BYELEMENT’. Using colors to assign lineweights at plot time is not acceptable unless otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer. Only lineweights defined by NCS are allowed.

H. Only linetypes as defined by the NCS. The LTSCALE factor shall be set to 1.0. The PSLTSCALE factor shall be set to 1.0. This allows the linetype scale to be set automatically by the paper space viewport scale.

I. The number of layers shall be kept to a practical minimum. More than 50 layers are considered excessive in a completed drawing. Layer names shall adhere to the NCS. Short form is preferred, long form will be accepted.

J. All completed drawings shall be fully purged of unused styles, layers, blocks, etc. All completed drawings shall be ‘WBLOCKed’ to a new file to remove any and all unused data and to insure a minimum file size.

K. The primary font shall be “ROMANS”. The TrueTypeTM font “ARIAL” may be used for cover sheet text, detail, section, elevation and plan titles. No third party or other WindowsTM fonts are acceptable. Drawings delivered with fonts other than those described herein will be rejected .

L. Minimum actual plotted text size on full size sheets shall be 1/10” (.10”) in order for the text to be readable on half size drawings. Minimum text size for dimensions shall be 1/10”. Text shall be set to either a thin or medium lineweight.

M. All files shall be stripped of 3rd party application data (including proxy images). Drawings that display error messages on USCG computers about missing applications will be rejected. No third party text fonts (.shx) or linetypes (.lin) will be accepted.

N. Files converted from other formats shall be checked by the Contractor for suitability and completeness prior to delivery to the USCG.

O. Only one drawing shall be in each drawing file. This restriction can be excepted in the case of floor, site, or other plans that span multiple sheets. In this case the full floor or site plan shall reside in model space and each drawing title block shall be in a separate layout (paper) space.

P. Submitted electronic drawing files shall be final and an exact representation of the submitted hardcopy drawing. When the file is opened up, no manipulations shall be required to plot the finished drawing.

Q. Revisions made to approved design drawings shall be noted using revision marks, revision clouds, and heavy lines as defined in the National CAD Standard. In general changes shall be indicated by crossing out the original drawing elements and drawing in the change. For each revision the issue block in the title block shall record the revision mark number, revision date, revision description, and reviser initials. Revisions shall also record handwritten USCG approval signatures, initials, approval signature date, and any reviser initials in the title block or issue block using block lettering. Revisions shall only be made to a copy of the original or previously revised electronic CAD file. The revised file shall be named using the original file name appended with “_rev1”, “_rev2”, etc to indicate the number of the revision (e.g. 13X02123_A5_rev1.dwg). Due care shall be taken to insure that no changes are made to the electronic files between the original or revised issue and the next revision. No revisions shall be made to hardcopy drawings. Revised drawings shall be initialed in the issue block in blue indelible ink by a registered professional.

R. If required by contract or task order, Record (as-built) changes shall be recorded to the drawings. Record changes shall be recorded as a standard revision with the following exceptions: the issue block description shall be titled “RECORD”; the drawing shall be marked in a prominent place near the lower right of the drawing with the word “RECORD” in ½” high “ROMANS” font with an bold lineweight; all sheets in the drawing set will be marked as above along with the issue block entry to record the date of the Record issue (even if no changes are required to the sheet). The Record file shall be named using the original file name appended with “_record” (e.g. 13X02123_A5_record.dwg).

S. Each plan view must include a north arrow (Site & Vicinity plans, Floor Plans, Roof Plans, etc.). Use a cross hair type north arrow showing both compass north and project north, as shown below.

T. Section and detail reference markers shall be a three-part symbol as is typically used on engineering plans, as shown below.

U. Sections are generally named with a letter, details with a number.

V. All submitted drawings shall be drawn to actual size and shall reside in AutoCADTM model space. All title blocks, sheet borders, general notes, and other general annotation will reside in layout space (paper space). Drawings that are schematic in nature and vicinity maps may also reside in paper space.

W. Plotting will done using the AutoCADTM “Color –Dependent Plot Style Table”, (.ctb) format. The plot table (CEC.ctb) can be downloaded from the FD&CC web site, www.uscg.mil/mlcpac/fdccp/contracting/index.html.

X. All site plans, plot plans, floor plans, contour maps and other drawings of this type shall be drawn to actual size in model space. The actual drawing scale will be determined by an exact setting of the paper space viewport scale. Use standard engineering/architectural scales in all cases. Each sheet shall contain a graphic scale for each different scale used on that sheet. If any portion of a drawing is not drawn to scale, that drawing shall be marked ‘NOT TO SCALE’.

Y. Use the following file naming convention for all submitted drawings:

Project Number _ Sheet Number

Examples: 13X02123_A5.dwg

13X02123_A12.dwg

Use underscores to separate project number from sheet number. Dashes, dots, tildes & etc. will not be accepted.

Z. The use of USCG sheet borders & title blocks is mandatory. Borders (ANSI A through ANSI E sizes) can be accessed through the FD&CC Pacific web site. FD&CC Pacific uses title block attributes to populate a corporate drawing database; the information must be correct and consistent. DO NOT “RENAME” OR “EXPLODE” THE SHEET BORDER, this will cause the attribute information to be corrupted. Contact the project EIC for the correct title block format & information.

AA. Use only the single character discipline designator as shown below. Do not use dashes between the discipline identifier and the sheet number.

AB. Note: For large projects, an alternative naming system may be used to easily insert additional sheets if necessary. Contact the Contracting Officer for more information.

3. Remove contaminated soil encountered to the following limits, unless otherwise approved or directed by the Contracting Officer:

a. Excavate no closer than within 2 feet of any building foundation or other permanent structure.

b. Remove all contaminated soil to a distance of 4 feet from the sides and bottom of the tanks.

c. Remove all contaminated soil to a distance of 2 feet below, and 2 feet to each side of piping runs.

d. Collect samples and test by field screening. If field screening indicates the extremities of the excavation still exceed regulatory thresholds, cease excavation and notify the Contracting Officer.

4. If contaminated groundwater is encountered, notify the Contracting Officer.

5. Contaminated soils shall be temporarily stockpiled IAW the contractor’s Excavation and Material Handling Plan.

E. Field Screening and Segregating Excavated Material (PCS):

1. All material excavated shall be screened in the field with a Photo Ionization Detector (PID) using the Head Space Screening Method as found in the UST Procedures Manual 1999.

2. Based on field screening results the excavated material shall be segregated into temporary stockpiles at the excavation site and sampled according to the UST Procedures Manual, as follows:

a. Temporary stockpile 1: Essentially clean (no evidence of contamination). Return this soil to the excavation as backfill.

b. Temporary stockpile 2: Contaminated, lab sampled. Return this soil to the excavation if below ADEC Cleanup Standards. If above cleanup standards, remove from site to a remediation facility. Remediated soil is not to be returned to the government.

3. Temporary stockpiles shall be clearly marked as Clean or Contaminated. If placed on soil (as opposed to an asphalt or concrete) surface, perform a baseline sample of the soil prior to constructing the cell.

F. Confirmation Sampling and Testing:

1. Soil from the Clean Pile shall be used as backfill without further testing. The temporarily stockpiled PCS Pile shall be sampled and analyzed for RRO, DRO, GRO and BTEX compounds. At least two grab samples must be obtained from each temporary stockpile of 50 cubic yards or smaller, with one additional sample for each additional 50 cubic yards per pile. Compositing of samples for analysis is not allowed. Analyze samples in accordance with ADEC Table B2, Method Two, (over 40 inch zone )method AK 103, AK 102, AK 101, and EPA method 8020 by an ADEC approved laboratory. Provide quality control in accordance with EPA guidelines, and as a minimum as follows:

a. Duplicate samples - collect and analyze duplicate soil samples at the rate of 10 percent of the total number of samples (rounded to the next highest number).

b. Matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate - collect one matrix spike sample for every 20 samples collected (rounded to the next highest number). Split the matrix spike sample, and analyze both the matrix spike and the matrix spike duplicate.

G. Temporarily Stockpiled Material:

1. If field screening detects no contamination, the soil requires no special handling, and shall be used as backfill. If field screening indicates the presence of contamination, place soil in a temporary containment area near the excavation area or as specified. Bottom liner shall be 20 mil. Divert water from the containment area. Cover containment area with 10 mil polyethylene liner meeting 18 AAC75.370 Table D. Using field-screening methods, segregate the soil with detectable contamination into separate piles representing suspected clean and suspected contaminated soil. Place excavated soil on the liner and cover. Secure edges of sheets to keep the polyethylene sheeting in place. Secure the edges of the cover lapped over the bottom liner to prevent water from running through the soil. Cover excavated contaminated soil at all times when not being worked. Maintain sheeting and replace when worn or ripped.

H. Contaminated Water:

1. Prevent surface water and rainwater from entering the excavations. It is expected that groundwater will not be encountered during UST removal. However, if groundwater does collect within the excavation, and it appears contaminated, notify the Contracting Officer and await direction.

I. Tank Cleaning and Disposal

1. Prior to disposal the contractor shall clean the tanks to remove all remaining liquids and sludges in accordance with the submitted and approved “Tank and Piping Removal and Disposal Plan”. Cleaning and tank atmosphere testing shall be in accordance with API RP-1604, "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks". All piping to be removed shall be cleaned to similar standards. The contractor shall test the tank atmosphere and the excavation area for flammable or combustible vapor concentrations with a combustible gas indicator until the tank is removed from the excavation and site.

2. After a tank has been vapor-freed, it should be rendered and labeled unsuitable for future use as a storage tank by puncturing, cutting, or other appropriate methods prior to leaving the site.

3. Tanks should be labeled after removal from the ground but prior to removal from the site. Regardless of the condition of the tank, the label should contain the following warning (in legible letters at least 2 inches high) against certain types of reuse. The former contents and present vapor state of each tank, including vapor-freeing treatment and date should also be indicated.

TANK HAS CONTAINED HEATING OIL

NOT VAPOR FREE

NOT SUITABLE FOR STORAGE OF FOOD OR LIQUIDS INTENDED FOR HUMAN OR ANIMAL CONSUMPTION

DATE OF REMOVAL: MONTH/DAY/YEAR

4. Disposal shall occur at a facility approved by ADEC to accept UST's. The contractor shall obtain any permits and pay all fees required for the disposal.

J. Transportation and Remediation:

1. Transportation: Transport petroleum contaminated soils in vehicles to prevent spillage onto streets or other non-contaminated surfaces.

2. Remediation: Obtain remediation as specified in the task order.

K. Cleanup:

1. Maintain surfaces of the PCS control area free of accumulations of PCS. Restrict the spread of dust and debris; keep waste from being distributed over work area. Do not remove the PCS control area and warning signs prior to the Contracting Officer's approval. Reclean areas showing residual PCS.

L. Backfilling, Grading, Topsoiling, and Seeding:

1. Provide backfill, compaction, grading, and seeding in accordance with standard practices or as specified on the drawings.

C. Asbestos: The term asbestos includes chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite asbestos, anthophyllite asbestos, and actinolite asbestos and any of these minerals that has been chemically treated or altered. Materials are considered to contain asbestos if the asbestos content of the material is determined to be at least one percent.

D. Asbestos Control Area: That area where asbestos removal operations are performed which is isolated by physical boundaries that assist in the prevention of the uncontrolled release of asbestos dust, fibers, or debris.

E. Asbestos Fibers: Those fibers having an aspect ratio of at least 3:1 and longer than 5 micrometers as determined by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Method 7400.

F. Asbestos Permissible Exposure Limit: 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air as an 8-hour time weighted average measured in the breathing zone as defined by 29 CFR 1926.1101 or other Federal legislation having legal jurisdiction for the protection of workers health.

G. Encapsulants: Specific materials in various forms used to chemically or physically entrap asbestos fibers in various configurations to prevent these fibers from becoming airborne. There are four types of encapsulants as follows that must comply with performance requirements as specified herein.

1. Removal Encapsulant (can be used as a wetting agent)

2. Bridging Encapsulant (used to provide a tough, durable surface coating to asbestos containing material)

3. Penetrating Encapsulant (used to penetrate the asbestos containing material encapsulating all asbestos fibers and preventing fiber release due to routine mechanical damage)

4. Lock-Down Encapsulant (used to seal off or "lock-down" minute asbestos fibers left on surfaces from which asbestos containing material has been removed).

H. HEPA Filter Equipment: High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum and/or exhaust ventilation equipment with a filter system capable of collecting and retaining asbestos fibers. Filters shall retain 99.97 percent of particles 0.3 microns or larger as indicated in UL 586.

I. Personal Sampling: Air sampling, which is performed to determine asbestos fiber concentrations within the breathing zone of a specific employee, as performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101.

J. Private Qualified Person (PQP): In addition to the definition of competent person in 29 CRF 1926.32(f), a person who is capable of identifying existing asbestos hazards as defined in 29 CFR 1926.1101, selecting the appropriate control strategy, has the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. The PQP shall have EPA Model Accreditation Plan “Contractor/Supervisor” training as required by 40 CFR 763; and has successfully completed the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 582 course "Sampling and Evaluating Airborne Asbestos Dust" or equivalent. The PQP must be qualified to perform visual inspections as indicated in ASTM E 1368.

K. Time Weighted Average (TWA): The TWA is an 8-hour time weighted average airborne concentration of asbestos fibers.

L. Wetting Agent: A chemical added to water to reduce the water's surface tension thereby increasing the water's ability to soak into the material to which it is applied. An equivalent wetting agent must have a surface tension of at most 29 dynes per centimeter when tested in accordance with ASTM D 1331.
