10.4.1
Media and Size
Drawings are to be made on erasable pre-printed plastic (mylar) sheets.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the government at fee negotiations, sheets shall
be "D" size (22" x 34"). Sheets are to be furnished by the A/E. "Original"
drawings submitted by the A/E at the Bidding Document Submission shall be
either hand-drafted or computer-aided original mylars or photographic
reproductions using washoff image mylar, of 3-4 mil thickness, with images on
the fronts of the sheets only. All notations and drafting shall be on the
fronts of the sheets only.
10.4.2

the cover sheet, on other sheets and in the specifications. Do not use
abbreviated project titles. In addition, the A/E shall fill in the
appropriate scale, specification number, construction contract number, sheet
number (eg., 1 of 30, 2 of 30, etc.) and discipline sheet number (eg., C-1, C-
2, A-1, A-2, etc. - see below for design discipline designations) in the
appropriate spaces of the title block on each sheet. Other instructions
regarding preparation of the title block are specified herein or will be
provided by the government at the Specifications Briefing.
