4.4 As-built Data:

4.4.1 Contractor shall provide As-built data when required in a task order.

4.4.2 Information contained on the As-built drawings shall consist of but not be limited to:

• Building footprints

• Paving (roads, parking lots, hardstands, pads, walks, etc.)

• Fencing

• Utilities (water, sewer, storm drainage, steam, electric, telephone, fiber optics, gas or fuel, etc., and associated appurtenances)

• Structures (bridges, testing facilities, etc.)

• Prominent physical features.

• Vegetation clearing

• Limits of disturbed areas

• Utility elevations (inverts)

• New trees larger than 2” caliper

• Permanent erosion and sediment control devices

• Permanent storm water management devices

4.4.3 The limits of the As-built plans shall be from the point in which new work ties into existing features and infrastructure to and including the building or structure footprint. The Contractor shall locate and show on the As-built a minimum of six existing features in the vicinity of the construction. Examples of these features could be existing building corners, utility poles, manholes or utility appurtenances.

4.4.4 The information that is depicted on the As-built drawings shall have UTM coordinate values associated with the features respective location. UTM value is required at the following points:

• Corners of buildings

• Point of tangent, point of curve, point of compound curve, point of reverse curve, on linear features.

• Coordinate values and elevations shall be spaced no longer than 50’ apart along linear features.

• Poles, transformer, manholes, valves, tees, hydrants, and any other appurtenances associated with utilities.

4.4.5 Throughout the course of the construction, the Contractor shall maintain at the job site one set of prints in good condition indicating in red ink any deviations from the original Contract Drawings. The red-line drawings shall be made available to the COR at request to verify they are being regularly updated. The Contractor shall provide the original red ink drawings to the Government upon completion of the work.

4.4.6 Upon completion of the work, the Contractor shall provide the Government with MicroStation drawings on a CD reflecting the As-built conditions clearly showing the path of underground systems, location of equipment, piping, electric and ductwork, information technology systems, structural supports and foundations, plumbing fixtures, architectural walls, electrical systems, mechanical controls, fire protection systems, mass notification systems, furniture systems, deviations from the original Contract Drawings, and the red line hard copy drawings recorded at the construction site. Upon completion of all UXO survey work the contactor shall provide all completed UXO surveys/documents to the COR in the completion package.

4.4.7 Thirty (30) days after the installation of underground utilities that include electric, water, sewer, natural gas, propane gas, steam, hydronic piping, storm water drainage piping, communications, and/or fire protection piping, the Contractor shall provide the COR with complete As-built drawings in MicroStation V8i (DGN) format on a CD of those underground utilities. The drawings shall include the areas where work has been performed. Indicate the existing conditions after the new work has been performed including removal of existing items and installation of new items. Drawings shall also indicate the tie-in locations to existing utilities.

• As-built data shall be compiled from field surveys performed by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor.

This work shall be tied into the installation monument system on Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection and WGS84 datum for horizontal locations. All traverse control or baseline tie surveys will meet or exceed a 1:5000 (third order class II) closure after angular adjustment. Vertical elevations will be on NAD 88 datum based on APG monuments. All vertical control will meet or exceed third order closure. The As-built survey shall be shown on standard DPW drawing sheets and signed by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor. Delivery of this data shall consist of one set of hard copy drawings and digital CADD files. These files are to be delivered on CD's. Closeout requirements at the As-built stage; require final geo-referenced GIS Database of the new facility along with all exterior modifications. The Government will incorporate this data set into the Installation's GIS Master Plan.

• A model file contains the physical components of a building (e.g., columns, walls, windows, ductwork, piping, etc.). Model files are drawn at full scale and typically represent plans, elevations, sections, etc. Model files can be generated either by placing graphics or from BIM model extractions.

• A sheet file is synonymous with a plotted CADD drawing file. A sheet file is a selected view or portion of referenced model file(s) within a border sheet. The addition of sheet-specific information (e.g., text, dimensions, and symbols) completes the construction of the document. In other words, a sheet file is a “ready-to-plot” CADD file.

• In model and sheet files, we require all references be attached to the CADD file. These CADD drawings are to be updated from redline drawings to reflect "as constructed" conditions. CADD drawings are to include but not limited to: General, Hazardous Materials, Survey/Mapping, Geotechnical, Civil, Landscape, Structural, Architectural, Interiors, Equipment, Fire Protection, Plumbing, Process, Mechanical, Electrical, Telecommunications, Resource, Contractor/Shop Drawings, Operations, Security, etc.

• Drawings shall include any additional systems or components after final design submission. For example:

Security systems, Fire Protection systems, Controls systems, etc.

• CADD and TIFF Files, not including referenced attachments (2 CD’s). Provide separate electronic drawing files for each project drawing. Each file (both CADD and TIF) shall represent one complete drawing from the drawing set, including the date, submittal phase, and border. Each drawing file shall be completely independent of any data in any other file, including fonts and shapes not included with the basic CADD software program utilized. Drawing files with external references or special fonts are not acceptable. All displayed graphic elements on all levels of the drawing files shall be part of the project drawing image. The drawing files shall not contain any graphic element that is not part of the drawing image.

4.5 Excavation Clearances: Contractor shall obtain an Excavation Permit (EP) from the Construction Branch of DPW before starting any excavation work. The Contractor shall initiate the permit process by filling out the “EXCAVATOR SECTION” of the EP, and submit through INFRAMAP located in the basement of building 4304.

Processing will normally require ten (10) working days. The Contractor shall also obtain digging clearance through “MISS UTILITY” to check for the existence of private commercial utilities prior to any excavation.

4.5.1 All damage to identified utilities shall be the fiscal responsibility of the Contractor, to include any peripheral loss imposed on the organizations/tenants of APG (e.g. damage to facilities, equipment, and loss of productivity due to loss of any utility). The COR or the Installation Safety Office have the authority to stop any excavation that is either unsafe or unauthorized.

4.5.2 Should the Contractor encounter unidentified utility lines, all excavation work shall stop and the COR and the contract specialist shall be notified immediately.
