B. GRAPHIC FORMAT.

All CADD data shall be supplied in Autodesk’s, three-dimensional, AutoCAD 2006, native electronic digital format (i.e., .dwg). The contractor shall ensure that all digital files and data (e.g., model files, reference files, cell libraries) are compatible with the Government's target CADD system (i.e., basic and advanced CADD software, platform, database software), and adhere to the standards and requirements specified herein. The term “compatible” means that data can be accessed directly by the target CADD system without translation, preprocessing, or post processing of the electronic digital data files. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure this level of compatibility.

CADD Mapping: The contractor shall also produce CADD mapping drawings and models, which are compatible with Autodesk’s Map 3D, version 2006 software. This includes full functionality of Autodesk Map’s associated database.

Scanned Images: The supplied scanned electronic digital files shall be delivered in the native AutoCAD digital format which is fully compatible with Autodesk’s Raster Design, version 2006, software.

Database Information: The nongraphical database delivered with prepared drawings shall be in Microsoft Office Access, version 2003 or higher, format. All linkages of nongraphical data with graphic elements, relationships between database tables, and report formats shall be maintained.

All database tables shall conform to the structure and field-naming guidance provided by the Government.

C. CADD STANDARDS.

CADD drawings shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the “Architectural/Engineering/Construction (A/E/C) Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Standard, Release 2.0.” Standard drawing size shall be 28”x40” (ie., “F” size). New design work in SI working units, rework in inch-pound working units and the A/E/C CADD Standard file-naming conventions for model and sheet files shall be used.

D. DELIVERY MEDIA AND FORMAT.

A copy of all CADD data and files developed under this contract shall be delivered to the Government on electronic digital media at each submittal as required in the Schedule of Work and upon completion of project. The electronic digital data and files shall be provided on CD-R or DVD+R. The electronic digital media shall be in a format that can be read and processed by the Government's target CADD system.
