(A) Generally.
(1) Street and drainage construction plan drawings shall be provided to the city as traditional hard-copy Mylar drawings and as drawing digital data. The purpose of the drawing digital data requirement is to allow for improved document storage, retrieval and review within various city departments, and is to be used for information purposes only. Unlike the hard-copy documents that are signed and sealed legal documents, the drawing digital data will have no legal significance. However, the drawing digital data may be used to assist city employees in analyzing, understanding, interpreting and presenting the data.
(2) Drawing digital data will consist of the graphical elements represented on the final hardcopy street and drainage construction plans submitted to the city. Signatures, seals, stamps and other non- graphical drawing elements are not required as part of the drawing digital data submittal. The drawing digital data shall comply with §§ 153.1625 through 153.1632 of this chapter unless a different requirement is provided in this section.
(3) Drawing digital data submittals, delivered to the city on electronic media, are required as a condition to the final approval of the street and drainage drawing set. If the city determines that an error is found to exist in the digital data, including the inability to read the media on which the drawing data are delivered, discrepancies between the hard-copy drawings and the digital data, or if the digital data are otherwise unacceptable, the city will contact the submitting organization to have the digital data corrected and/ or redelivered to the city prior to public works approval of the final plat.
(B) Standard detail sheets in a digital format.
(1) The city’s drainage and capital programs departments will provide standard details in a digital format to anyone requesting the files. The request must be in writing and indicate the preferred file format (MicroStation (DGN), AutoCad (DWG) or generic (DXF) format).
(2) These files may be e-mailed to the requestor, or provided on electronic media.
(3) Since the city does not use AutoCad, the requests for this format will be performed using the conversion software available within MicroStation, and is provided with no claims as to the requestor’s ability to read or use the delivered files.
