Use MS Excel software or other NPS-approved equivalent estimating software for Construction Cost Estimates. Image Files Use JPEG format for photographs. Use TIF format for graphic images (i.e. lines and text) and hand-drawn documents. PDF and TIF files shall be 300 dots per inch resolution files. CAD Files Use AutoCAD for drawing files. Folder and File Requirements Folder name shall match Deliverable Submittal Milestone Title (i.e. Final Predesign Documents, Final Schematic Design Documents, Final Construction Documents, Approved Construction Documents, etc.) If sub-folders are required, names shall match Deliverable Submittal Component Title (i.e. Construction Drawings, Construction Specifications, etc.) File names shall match Deliverable Submittal Component Titles (i.e. Project Program, Class C Construction Cost Estimate, Product File, etc.) Final Predesign Documents and Final Schematic Design Documents Assemble into discrete electronic volumes for the DSC Technical Information Center (TIC). All TIF files shall be in an individual folder. All non-TIF files shall be in an individual folder. Development Advisory Board (DAB) Support Documents Final Predesign Documents: Provide each Final Predesign Subcomponent (i.e. Project Program, Cost Comparability Data) as an individual Adobe .pdf file.

All Final Predesign Subcomponents shall be placed in a folder named “Park four letter alpha code (space) PMIS # (space) Date (space) - (space) Final Predesign Documents“ (i.e. SEKI 005555 11-05-06 - Final Predesign Documents) Final Schematic Design Documents: Utilize the same format and file/folder naming convention for Final Schematic Design Documents as used above for Final Predesign Documents. Draft Design Development Documents, 100% Draft Construction Documents and 100% Complete Construction Documents (Design-Bid-Build and Design-Build) Drawings Files Each construction drawing shall be an individual AutoCAD file. Each file name should try to best describe the design content of the specific drawing sheet. File names shall not exceed 8 characters excluding the dot and extension.

File names shall include subsheet number (dash) and short description (i.e. G01-INDX, E01- PLAN.dwg, C23-PP06.dwg, M16-DETL.dwg). Cover Sheet shall be named COVER.dwg. Each discipline shall have its own folder name. Folder names shall not exceed 2 characters. Folders names shall only include alpha (A-Z), no spaces (i.e. LA, AR, SE, EE, etc.) General sheets, including the cover sheet and index sheet, shall be placed in a folder named G. External Reference Files (often called “bases”) All drawing files to be used as external reference (xrefs) files shall begin with an “X” to distinguish it as an xref file. The second letter of xref file names shall refer to the primary discipline of use (i.e. A for architecture, C for civil, L for landscape architecture). The remaining file name characters, not to exceed 6 characters, should be as descriptive as possible in describing the content of the xref drawing (i.e. XA-FLRPL.dwg, XC SITE.dwg, XEXCOND.dwg). All xref and base files shall be in a folder named BASES. All AutoCAD drawings with xrefs shall be created with relative xref paths (i.e. ..\BASES\XAFLPLAN.dwg) so that the drawings load directly from CD ROMS. Specification Files All Outline Specifications shall be in one individual file. Each Construction Specification Section shall be an individual file. Use 5 digit CSI section numbers for file names, except for Outline Specifications which shall be named “Outline Specifications”. Construction Specifications shall have a Table of Contents (CSI Division Titles, Specification CSI Section Numbers, Specification Section Titles, and number of pages per Specification Section) Table of Contents file shall be named “TOC”. Construction Specifications shall have a Cover Sheet. Utilize Standard NPS Cover Sheet Template for Cover Sheet. Cover Sheet file shall be named “Cover”. Final (Design-Bid-Build) or Approved (Design-Build) Construction Documents Drawings Files In addition to the 100% Complete Construction Documents Drawing File requirements, the Final (Design-Bid-Build) or Approved (Design-Build) Construction Drawings shall also have the following incorporated within the files before Final Construction Drawing Printing: Contract Solicitation Number: The Contract Solicitation Number shall be added to the Cover Sheet. The Contract Solicitation Number will be furnished by the PM upon request. For projects to be shelved, the Contract Solicitation Number is not required. Contract Number: The Contract Number shall be added to the Cover Sheet. The Contract Number will be furnished by the PM upon request.
