5.1.1 Actual locations of all subsurface and concealed utility lines, type of materials used, sizes, etc. In order that the location of these lines and appurtenances may be determined in the event the surface openings or indicators become covered or obscured, the master/record construction drawings shall show by offset dimensions to two permanently fixed surface features. Valves, splices boxes and similar appurtenances shall be located by dimensions along the utility run from a reference point. The average depth below the surface of each run shall also be recorded.

5.1.2 Any shop drawings that constitute part of the design shall be included with the record drawings.

5.2 The master/record (redline construction drawings) prints with corrections, such as field changes and contract modifications, shall be certified by the Contractor as to their correctness and submitted to the Contracting Officer’s Representative for approval. Once these provisional master/record (redline construction drawing) prints have been approved by the COR, the COR will obtain a compact disc (CD) of computer generated construction drawings from the DPW Engineering Service Division, Building 1114 at Ft. Stewart or Building 1021 at Hunter AAF, as applicable. The contractor shall then transfer all corrections from redline construction drawing prints to the compact disc (CD) of computer generated construction drawings. Corrections done shall be in MicroStation “.dgn” format. The Contractor shall note on the computer generated construction drawings the words “AS-BUILT” in the revision block with the next revision number to identify any changes made. Also, revision number identification will be placed where any changes were made. The contractor shall then submit AS-BUILT compact disc (CD) of computer generated drawing and one (1) AS-BUILT hardcopy with contractor’s redline corrections to the COR to insure accuracy that all corrections made were transferred from redline construction drawing prints to AS-BUILT hardcopy prints. Once the COR approves the AS-BUILT hardcopy prints the COR will then turn over to DPW/ ESD/ Drafting section for final approval of AS-BUILT compact disc (CD) of computer generated drawings and at this time the Contractor can receive final payment.
