Line Item: 001 Record Drawings

Description - This item shall govern for the preparation and submittal of record drawings.

The unit of measure for recording drawings shall be for “EACH SET OF RECORD DRAWINGS”. Drawings are to include surveyed information with elevations, angles, and distances. Surveying calculations should be stamped by a registered surveyor.

Payment shall be at the contract unit price per each for record drawings.

1.2 RECORD DRAWINGS

Record drawings shall be a record of the construction as installed and completed by the Contractor. They include all the information reflected on the delivery order scope of work and a record of all deviations, modifications, or changes from the scopes of work, however minor, which were incorporated in the work; all additional work not reflected in the scope of work; and all changes which are made after final inspection of the delivery order work. The location and size of all uncharted existing utilities encountered shall be included. Microstation files shall conform to the Microstation requirements of Fort Hood and shall be demonstrated to work on the designated Government computer systems. Microstation files shall be error and virus free.

1.2.1 Submittals of Preliminary Record Drawings

For each delivery order, the Contractor shall, within 30 days after the final acceptance inspection, produce from the working drawings two sets of blue line or black line prints to show all requirements of the scope of work, all changes from the scope of work which are made in the work or additional information which might be uncovered in the course of construction, including uncharted utilities, shall be accurately and neatly recorded as they occur by means of details and notes. All changes and/or required additions to the preliminary record drawings shall be clearly identified in a color contrasting to the blue or black line drawings and which is compatible with reproduction of the preliminary record drawing.

Blue or black line prints shall be full size, 22" by 34" image on 24" by 36" sheets. Drawings shall be produced at a scale acceptable to the Contracting Officer. All blue or black line prints shall exhibit good readable print with clear, sharp, dark lines, and shall not be smeared, faded, double imaged, or have torn or ragged edges. The blue or black line drawings will be jointly inspected for accuracy and completeness by the assigned representative of the Contractor's Quality Control Organization and the Contracting Officer's representative (COR) prior to submission. If upon review, the drawings are found to contain errors and/or omissions, they will be returned to the Contractor for corrections. Failure of the Contractor to make timely delivery of the preliminary record drawings on any or all items of work will be cause for the Government to delay substantial completion and to assess liquidated damages in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The record drawings shall show the following information, but not be limited thereto:

1.2.1.1 The location and description of any utility lines or

other installation of any kind or description known to or found to exist within the construction area. The location of exterior utilities includes actual measured horizontal distances from utilities to permanent facilities/ features.

1.2.2.1 Verifying the Accuracy of Measurement and Location of Site Location in reference to the Fort Hood Data Base

The accuracy of the final record drawing shall be verifiable.

There are two types of project site locations that are distinguished by their proximity to permanent facilities. One type of a project site location is in a location that is in eye contact with existing permanent facilities. The other type of project site location is in a remote area without eye contact with existing permanent facilities. The following procedures shall be engaged such that accuracy of work and verification of site locations are verifiable.

1.2.2.1.1 Project Site Locations near Existing Permanent

Facilities

Place a #3 bar, 6-inches in length, painted orange, flush with the ground at the perimeter of the work zone in a location that will not be disturbed. Employing an Electronic Distance Meter, reference this point by angel and distance to three building corners that are more than 90 degrees apart. Also, reference from the same reference point a minimum of ten distinct construction elements by distinctive points. A few examples are: north-east corner of headwall, back of curb, start of radius of curb return, center of cleanout, center of manhole, etc.

1.2.2.1.2 Project Site Locations in Remote Area not in

eye contact with Existing Permanent Facilities

In this situation start at the nearest hard surfaced road that is identifiable on the Fort Hood Data Base. Place two #3 bar, 6-inches in length, painted orange flush with the ground, 100 feet apart at a location that will not be disturbed. At each of these points place cross-ties to aide with relocating the points. Employing a Electronic Distance Meter create a coordinate route to the project site location. At each turn in the coordinate route place a #3 bar painted orange flush with the ground at a location that will not be disturbed. Upon reaching the site location record the angle and distance to a minimum of ten distinct construction elements.

1.2.2.2 Drafting

All additions and corrections to the contract drawings shall be neat, clean, and legible and shall match the adjacent existing line work and/or lettering being annotated in type, density, size, and style.

All drawings, modifications and new drawings shall conform to applicable requirements of the Southwestern Division Architectural and Engineering Instruction Manual available from the DPW-Master Planning Office.
