RAN = Inroads ASCII random point file

APPENDIX H 83 . BRK = Inroads ACSII break point file PLT = Plot file An example of a MicroStation PC file might be: CC83A09.DGN, where: HM49 is the 4-character project number assigned by the Contracting Officer; A09 represents architectural sheet A9; and DON is the 3-character MicroStation PC suffix. Each drawing shall have a separate file name. 2. Verification of CAD Drawing Files. The Contractor shall verify CAD drawing files. Verification shall consist of the following: a. Each drawing shall be brought up in CAD format specified by the Contracting Officer (MicroStation, AutoCAD, etch. Custom or proprietary menus shall be replaced with the default CAD menu. If the drawing file requires special shapes, fonts, tables, etc. not common to the CAD software, the Contractor shall also submit a list of levels/layers previously unassigned. These files shall be included in the delivery to the Government. b. All drawing files shall be provided with full drawing displayed and all extraneous information removed outside of the plot boundary. Drawing file size shall be minimized utilizing "COMPRESS" (MicroStation) or "WBLOCK" (AutoCAD) or other similar command. Drawing entities outside of the sheet boundary (except for plotting snap points) are not desired on the delivery files, and shall be deleted. c. The Contractor shall verify the structure of CAD files submitted to the Government. CAD files shall be examined for errors or corruptions in drawing file structure using software expressly designed for such purposes. Such software shall be capable of saving a report on the condition of the files examined. Examples of such utilities producing acceptable results are EDG (for MicroStation) and Audit/Recover (for AutoCAD). The Contractor shall provide magnetic and hard copies of file checking software message files. CAD files will be accepted if their respective file checking message files indicate that no errors were found. d. CAD drawing files shall be accompanied on the same compact disc by their respective report message files. A message file shall have the same name as the drawing file, except that the suffix shall be MSG. Special shapes, fonts, tables, etc., files shall be included as necessary to generate the drawing filets). 3. Deliverables. a. The Contractor shall submit all plates as CAD files (.dgn, .dwg, etc.) on recordable compact disc, 650MB/74 minute, DOS compatible, ISO standard. If there are any questions regarding the format for the submittal, contact Sherry Thompson of the Albuquerque District, at telephone (505) 342-3310. The Contractor shall check for surface errors and computer viruses using a competent virus-checking program shall check b. Deliverable media type and data. The Contractor shall provide certification that this virus checking has taken place. The name and release date of the virus-checking software shall be furnished to the Government. Virus-checking software shall be the current version, which has detected the latest known viruses at the time of delivery of the diskettes. For Contractors using virus-checking programs that attach validation files to diskettes, such as the VIRUS CAN program from McAfee and Associates, the validation files on the diskettes shall be sufficient proof of virus checking. If analysis of delivery media by the Government finds evidence of virus infection, the media will be returned to the Contractor. The Contractor shall re-submit the media at no cost to the Government. c. The Contractor shall label each compact disc with standard compact disc labels. Each compact disc shall be labeled with the following information:

84 boxes. APPENDIX H The name of the project; The project location; The CAD project number (first four characters of the fit The date of the submittal. e name); and d.

Although most federal facilities projects are successfully completed (i.e., they reasonably meet the agency's requirements and expectations), the perception is that development of the scope of work for design for these projects is challenging and in some cases poorly performed. Based on this perception, a study was commissioned by the Federal Facilities Council (FFC) of the National Research Council to identify the elements that should be included in a scope of work for design to help ensure that the resulting facility is one that supports the fulfillment of a federal agency's program or mission. Its objectives also included identifying key practices for developing effective scopes of work for design involving new construction or major renovation projects and identifying key practices for matching the scope of work with the acquisition strategy, given a range of project delivery systems and contract methods.
