9-1Volume 1

Contract Plans Development Guide September 1, 2005

9.1 Control

The purpose of the roadway construction plans portion of the contract plans isto exhibit the necessary horizontal and vertical information to locate and buildthe new roadway and related design. The roadway construction plans typicallyinclude the construction alignment, right-of-way, existing topography, new road-way construction including drainage and utilities, and sometimes, removal plans.Depending on how detailed and complex the design information is, everythingmay be included on “combined” construction plans, or divided onto “separated”plans, to maintain clarity. See Table 9-1 for the division of information onto the“separated” types of construction plans.

Although the construction plans are developed by the Roadway Designers andDrafters, two types of reference file basemaps needed for the construction plansare usually developed by other units at ODOT. The survey unit develops theexisting topographic basemap and the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit producesthe right-of-way basemaps.

Coordination efforts should occur in the preliminary phases of the project be-tween the Roadway Designer and the Survey Unit to develop the existing topo-graphic basemap CAD file to a level of detail that will meet the project needsthrough the final submittal.

The Roadway Designer should also coordinate with the Right-of-Way Engineer-ing Unit as the right-of-way basemap is developed. The existing right-of wayinformation is generated by the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit from the surveyedfield data, recovery survey of found monuments, existing right-of-way recorddrawings and descriptions and the topographic basemap. The Right-of-Way Engi-neering Unit is responsible to provide this information to the Roadway Designeror Drafter in a CAD file containing the existing right-of-way basemap.

After the roadway design has been well established, the Roadway Designer isresponsible to make the design basemap CAD file available to the Right-of-WayDesigner or Drafter, for right-of-way acquisition to be determined. This file shouldcontain the proposed centerline alignment and proposed cut and fill limits ofconstruction. At this time, the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit begins acquisitionprocedures and delineation of a final right-of-way line, which should be providedin an updated CAD file to the Roadway Designer.

Note: For information ondeveloping basemaps, seeSection 2.6, Volume 1.

Note: For information onseed files, see Section 2.5,Volume 1.


9-2Volume 1


9.1 Control (Cont’d)The right-of-way file is developed by the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit to theirown standards that vary from the Roadway Design Unit standards. Right-of-WayEngineering uses their own cell library, RW.CEL, located in the ODOT workspace: Internal ODOT staff http:\\scdata3\odot_space\standards\cell External ftp://ftp.odot.state.or.us/isb/appeng/Microstation/Version8/

They also access the ODOT Menu, which contains a right-of-way menu devel-oped by the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit. The only manipulations to the right-of-way file, once it has been released by the Right-of-Way Engineering Unit, arethe moving of text to avoid conflicts with text or graphics in other reference filesor the working file, and moving an element to a different level for display pur-poses. The right of way centerline is shown on the roadway construction plans ifit is different from the construction centerline and new right-of-way is being pur-chased, based on the right-of-way centerline. If the right-of-way centerline is tobe shown, P.I. data should be removed, and the centerline and associated text arechanged to the appropriate weight, etc. It is very important to maintain theestablished right-of-way linework on its coordinate base because it is recorded aslegal documentation. It is the responsibility of the Road Engineer to verify thatthe latest version of the R/W file is being used, as revisions are made often duringthe plans process.

The construction plans, including plan sheets, profiles and construction notes areproduced by the Roadway Designers and Drafters. The Roadway Designer is re-sponsible for developing the design in the proposed design basemap CAD file.The designer is also responsible for providing sketches or redlines of any designrevisions and additions to the drafter as the project progresses.

Throughout the development of the project, it is the responsibility of the drafterto maintain ODOT drafting standards as set forth here, in the Contract Plans Devel-opment Guide.

Review of the contract plans is accomplished at the preliminary, advance andfinal submittal stages by a designated Roadway Design Team leader. The Road-way Engineer’s registration seal and signature are placed on all sheets.

9.2 DevelopmentThe Project Designer and Drafter should begin development of the constructionplans using the following appropriate steps.

To make the (only manipu-lations as described, right)modifications to the right-of-way file for inclusion into theroadway contract plans, usethe Right-of-Way section ofthe ODOT Menu. See Appen-dix “C”.

9-3Volume 1


Use the following steps to begin development of the “combined” constructionplans or the “separated” alignment, general construction, drainage and utilities orremoval plans. Additional steps for each specific type of sheet can be found inSections 9.2.2 through 9.2.7.

Steps 1 - 8 All construction sheets including plans,construction notes, and profiles

Step 9 “Combined” construction plan sheets onlyStep 10 “Separated” construction plan sheetsSteps 11 - 13 All construction plan and plan-profile sheets

Step 1 — Create an “Active File”Create a new MicroStation™ file from the seed file named SEED2D.DGN orSEED3D.DGN found at: Internal ODOT staff http:\\scdata3\ODOT_space\standards\seed\ External ftp://ftp.odot.state.or.us/isb/appeng/Microstation/Version8/

and name it KEYNUF.PL1, where “KEYNU” represents your project key num-ber assigned by ODOT (to be filled in by you), “F” represents that this file is partof the final contract plans, and “.PL1” is the appropriate extension for the firstfile of Plan sheets. This is your active file. Subsequent plan sheets should benamed “.PL2”, “.PL3,” etc.

Step 2 — Add sheet bordersEnter ODOT’s proprietary software, “Plotypus,” to automatically place borders(File/Plotypus). “Plotypus” automatically creates the borders at a pre-designatedlocation in the design file. Choose the intended scale and sheet size, placing up toten borders per design file. See Appendix D, “A Quickguide To Plotypus,” formore information on placing borders.

Step 3 — Create the Project Title and “V” Number Reference FileCreate a new MicroStation™ file from the seed file named SEEDV8.NAM foundat: Internal ODOT staff http:\\scdata3\ODOT_space\standards\seed\ External ftp://ftp.odot.state.or.us/isb/appeng/Microstation/Version8/

and name it KEYNUF.NAM, where “KEYNU” represents your project key num-ber (to be filled in by you), “F” represents that this file is part of the final contractplans, and “NAM” represents that this generic file is for the project title informa-tion. For example, a new file name might be 01234F.NAM.Title block text is provided in two scales within SEEDV8.NAM for convenientediting.Edit the project title text in the appropriate place within the title block. When thecontract plans are complete and ready to be advertised for bid, the “V” number

Note: For information ontitle block text, see Section2.8, Volume 1.

Note: For information onreference files, see Section2.3, Volume 1.

9.2.1 Sheet Setup

Filename extensions for theroadway construction plansheet are:Plan - “.PL_”Note - “.NT_”Plan-profile - “.PP_”Full profile - “.PF_”

Filenames

Note: For file namingconventions, see Section2.4, Volume 1.

Step 3 may have beencompleted as part of an-other section of the con-tract plans. If it has, use ithere and go on to Step 4.

the section data is labeled in the plan portion of the sheet instead of at the top ofthe sheet. The section text is oriented with its associated boundary line on theplan view. Add the sheet number in the title block. See Figure 9-2.

Step 11 — Add Titles to “Separated” Construction Plan SheetsWhile in the active file, add titles at the top of the plan or plan-profile sheet, and asheet number in the title block, as illustrated in Figure 9-3, which are appropriatefor the project and for the type of plan sheet you are creating. Most titles can befound in the “Cache” (PLANSV8.DGN) and copied and edited.

Step 12 — Attach Base MapsAttach the appropriate existing topographic base map, right-of-way file and de-sign base as reference files. Manipulate these files to the same parameters (move,rotate, scale, and clip boundary) that you used for the clip boundary file for thesame plan sheet.

9.2.2 “Combined” Construction PlansTo continue to develop construction plans with “combined” information, use thefollowing steps.

Step 13 -- Turn Levels On or OffWhile in the active file, turn the appropriate levels on or off in the attached basemapreference files. Table 9-1 lists the items for “combined” plans that include all ofthe alignment, construction, drainage and utility, and removal information. Usethe MicroStation™ command “save settings” to maintain the levels turned onand off.

The purpose of the construction notes is to describe the general information andlocation to build the new design. They can be located either on a plan sheet, plan-profile sheet or a separate construction note sheet. To begin development of thenotes, Steps 1 - 4 in Section 9.2.1, Sheet Setup, should be followed before con-tinuing on to the next steps, shown here.

If the construction notes are being added to a plan or plan-profile sheet, you willneed to continue developing the plan portion of the sheets with Steps 5-10 inSection 9.2.1, Sheet Setup, before continuing with this section. If you are devel-oping a construction note sheet, continue with the following steps. The note mar-gin bar is a cell, located in ROAD.CEL.

Step 6 — Add a Sheet NumberAdd the sheet number within the title block. See Figure 9-3. This text can befound in the “Cache” (PLANSV8.DGN) and copied and edited. A constructionnote sheet is generally numbered to correspond with the plan sheet with which itis associated. For example, a plan sheet numbered “6” would have a note sheetnumbered “6A”.

Step 7 — Add Construction NotesAdd the construction notes to the active file at the margins and tic locations asshown in Figures 9-27 and 9-28.

General InformationConstruction notes should be listed in the same order that the items occur in theStandard Specifications. Notes added later can be placed at the end of the sequence.Within individual notes, a standard must be followed for order of constructionnote composition. General guidelines for construction note composition are:

1. All notes are to be written for single application.2. Give removal item first, then construction item, except in the case of tempo-

rary installation, i.e. detours.3. Place one space between words, after comma and period, and on either side

of a hyphen. No space is required on either side of the equal sign.

See Standard Order of Construction Note Composition, later in this section.

Note: For constructionnote examples, seeSection 9, Volume 2.

Note: For note marginlevels in PLANSV8.DGN,see Section 2.9, Volume 1.

TipAs the line items shownhere are only a partial listof those possible, the de-signer is allowed to decideproper order of note com-position using this list asa guide. It is also sug-gested that the examplesin Volume 2 be used indeciding note composi-tion, in order to maintainsome consistency onODOT projects.


9-37Volume 1


The vertical alignment of a roadway is the progression of elevations, typicallyalong the construction centerline. The existing ground profile line (ground line) isshown as well as the profile of the proposed vertical construction centerline align-ment on a profile grid. Also shown, within the profile grid, is the depth of thenew construction, the location of existing subsurface features, and any new pro-posed subsurface features such as sewer pipes, drain pipes, manholes and inlets.The profile grid is either just below the plan on the same sheet or displayed sepa-rately on a full profile sheet. See Figure 9-31.

To begin development of the profiles, Steps 1 - 4 in Section 9.2.1, Sheet Setup,should be followed before continuing on to the next steps, shown here. If theprofile is being added to a plan-profile sheet, you will need to continue develop-ing the plan portion of the sheets with Steps 5-10 in Section 9.2.1, Sheet Setup,before continuing with this section. If you are developing a full profile sheet,continue with the following steps.

Step 5 — Add Sheet NumberWithin your active file, add the sheet number in the title block. See Figure 9-3. Thistext can be found in the “Cache” (PLANSV8.DGN) and copied and edited. Turnthe correct levels on or off to display the required profile grid.

Step 6 — Create Clip BoundariesCopy the seed file, SEED2D.DGN, to a new file using the appropriate file namingconvention. This file will be your clip boundaries reference file to be used in thecreation of the profiles. Open the new clip boundaries file and create sheet bound-aries using multisided shapes that fit your sheet breakout and scale. Normally, at1”=50’ scale, this would be 1200 feet per single plan sheet. The station limitsneed to match the related plan station limits. On a plan-profile sheet, the profileshould be aligned directly under the plan, by station.

Step 7 — Attach Clip BoundariesOpen the active file and attach the clip boundaries file you created in the previousstep. Scale and move the clip boundaries reference file so it fits properly withinthe borders of the first open plan-profile or profile sheet. Place a fence on the clipboundary shape you wish to show and clip the reference file objects. See Figure9-29. Keep a record of the “move from” and “move to” points and the scale asyou will need this information for the profile base reference file.

The horizontal scale of profile sheets is set by Plotypus. The vertical scale is aratio of 10 to 1 with the horizontal scale. For every 10 feet measured horizontally,the vertical distance is 1 foot.

Note: For profile examples,see Section 9, Volume 2.

Note: For file namingconventions, see Section2.5, Volume 1.

Note: For information oncreating clip boundaries,See Section 2.8, Volume 1.

Step 8 — Attach Profile BaseAttach the appropriate vertical profile base, “KEYNUF.PRO”, as a referencefile. Figure 9-30 represents a profile sheet with the vertical profile reference fileattached correctly. Manipulate this file to the same parameters (move, scale, andclip boundary) that you used for the clip boundary file. Two profile “runs” aretypical on full profile sheets, which requires an additional attachment of the pro-file base.

Step 9 — Add ItemsAdd text and other project specific items as necessary to the active file or the pro-file base file. Generally, the items in Figures 9-31 and 9-38 are the only onesadded to the active file. See the following Figures 9- 38 for information regardingspecific items shown on the profiles. See the check list at the end of this sectionfor a list of typically required items.

Figure 9-31 Basic Profile Sheet Item Placement

Elevations (1”=50’ scale) areplaced on each line of the verticalprofile grid at 5’ intervals. Eleva-tions (1”=100’ scale) are placed oneach line of the vertical profile gridat 10’ intervals.

Generally, elevation labels begin at twoelevation numbers below the lowest gradepoint and ends at two elevation numbersabove the highest grade point of the profileshown.

Station references (1”=100’) areplaced at 500’ spacings withstation tics at 100’ intervals. Notic is placed with the stationnumber at even 500’ distances.Stations (1”=200’) are placed at500’ spacings with no tics.

The profile grade begins (generally)at the line which designates thebeginning of the construction projectand runs continuously from profilesheet to profile sheet throughout theproject and terminates with the linewhich designates the end of theconstruction project. Place the label“Profile Grade @ L” once per profilesheet.

CThe grade notes indicatethe slope of the gradeexpressed as a percentof rise divided by thedistance (run), shown totwo decimal places

The ground line runs continu-ously from profile sheet to profilesheet throughout the project, andis representative of existingground at the same horizontallocation as the profile grade andconstruction centerline

9.2.9 Superelevation Runoff Charts

The purpose of the superelevation runoff chart is to show the superelevationgrade relationship between the roadway construction centerline and the left andright edge of traveled way. A superelevation runoff chart displays multiple lineprofiles of these lines and should be used to check for any problems such as gradecontrols at road approaches, building elevations or interchange designs. For moreinformation on superelevation, see the ODOT English Highway Design Manual.Superelevation runoff charts can be developed with design software such asInRoads and added to the profile sheets within the contract plans.

Arrows at the end of the brackets indicatethe quantities and brackets extend ontoanother profile sheet or profile run on thesame sheet.Cell name: AC=Sectionarrow (ODOT.CEL)

Place embankment and/or excava-tion brackets. Earthwork Bracketsare in fixed positions horizontally bystationing, but may be placed in anyconvenient location vertically. Themost common placement is at thebottom of the profile sheet, justabove the station numbers.

The earthwork brackets for stageconstruction in the profiles relate tothe staging as shown in the trafficcontrol portion of the contract plans
