SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

GENERAL This Manual outlines the general drafting standards and Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) requirements for the preparation of all drawings to be used in the planning, design and construction of Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) facilities. All designers—PCJPB staff, engineering consultants, construction contractors and any other parties involved in the design and construction or oversight of PCJPB projects—should know and follow the guidelines in this Manual. Consultants shall ensure that any sub-consultants they retain for work on PCJPB projects know and adhere to the standards set forth in this Manual. The goal is uniformity and compatibility among all drawings prepared for PCJPB improvement projects. As of this writing, PCJPB uses Autodesk’s AutoCAD, version 2007. To avoid the problems often occurring when converting drawing files from one CADD software package to another, designers shall create and submit all drawing files (except signal drawings) in native AutoCAD, version 2007 or the latest PCJPB approved AutoCAD release. Autodesk’s Land Development Desktop (LDD) and/or Civil 3D, version 2007 or the latest PCJPB approved AutoCAD release shall be used to prepare civil drawings. Drawing files converted to AutoCAD from other CADD software packages will not be accepted. Signal drawings, however, are currently created and submitted in Bentley’s MicroStation. Unless directed otherwise by PCJPB’s Chief Engineer or the PCJPB CADD Manager, these standards shall be used to prepare all drawings required for PCJPB projects. The production of drawings at variance with these standards may proceed only with the approval of the PCJPB CADD Manager. This manual is a living document and is therefore subject to revision. Please bring any suggestions for improvement, errors and/or omissions to the attention of the PCJPB CADD Manager. CADD Manager PCJPB-Caltrain Engineering Department 1250 San Carlos Avenue P.O. Box 3006 San Carlos, CA 94070-1306 MANUAL DISTRIBUTION PCJPB’s CADD Manual is available in PDF format on PCJPB’s ftp site for designers and other interested parties to download.

Right-of-Way BACKGROUND AND HISTORY OF CALTRAIN

A. History

Passenger service on the peninsula corridor began on Oct. 18, 1863 under the authority of the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company. Prophetically, some $600,000 of the original $2 million capital stock issue was owned by the voters of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties following a three-county election in 1861. In 1870, the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad Company was acquired by the firm that was eventually consolidated into the Southern Pacific Railway. Southern Pacific double-tracked the line in 1904, and operated passenger service in the corridor successfully until after World War II. Changing commute patterns impacted Southern Pacific along with private carriers all over the country, and after protracted struggles with the state Public Utilities Commission on fares and service levels, Southern Pacific petitioned to abandon passenger service in 1977.

The three Peninsula counties stepped into the breach with a temporary Fare Stabilization Plan -- partially subsidizing commuter tickets -- that reversed a long pattern of declining ridership and set the stage for state sponsorship of the Peninsula Commute in 1980. From 1980 until mid-year 1992, Caltrans contracted with Southern Pacific to provide passenger service in the corridor, sharing operating subsidies with San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The state assumed sole responsibility for station acquisitions and other capital improvements until the service resulted in formation of the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB) in 1987. The PCJPB agreed to assume operating responsibilities for Caltrain effective July 1, 1992, and to shoulder 100 percent of the operating subsidy a year later. In December 1991, the PCJPB purchased the rail right of way from San Francisco to San Jose. The PCJPB secured trackage rights to Gilroy for another $4 million. Union Pacific Railroad, which merged with Southern Pacific in 1996, retains rights to operate freight service along the corridor. To replace Southern Pacific as the commute operator, the PCJPB signed Amtrak, the national passenger rail corporation, to a three-year agreement with two one-year options beginning July 1, 1992. In November of 2001, Amtrak was awarded a 5-year contract to continue commute service for the PCJPB.


Section 1 1-3 05/2007

Contract oversight is provided by SamTrans, as the administrative arm of PCJPB. Caltrans deeded 26 stations, 20 diesel locomotives and 73 bi-level passenger cars to the PCJPB in 1993. Many of locomotives and gallery cars have been rebuilt or replaced over last five years.

• June 1996 Caltrain records the highest annual ridership since 1958 -- 7.4 million.

• Nov. 24, 1995 The number of bicycles allowed per train increases to 24 making Caltrain the least restrictive and most accessible rail system to bicyclists in the country.

• July 1995 Caltrain becomes accessible to passengers in wheelchairs. The Redwood City Transit Center, serving Caltrain and SamTrans bus passengers, is dedicated.

• Dec. 8, 1994 Dedication ceremony is held to mark the completion of the reconstruction and restoration of the San Jose terminal, which is renamed "San Jose Diridon Station."

• Sept. 17, 1994 Burlingame station marks 100th anniversary with a community fair.


Section 1 1-5 05/2007

• June-July 1994 Some 170,000 people take Caltrain to and from World Cup soccer games at Stanford University.

• January 15-16, 1994 Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board celebrates 130 years of continuous passenger service between San Francisco and San Jose at an open house marking the 130th anniversary of the Santa Clara depot. It is the oldest continuously operating train station in California.

• September 1992 Bicycles are allowed on Caltrain under a pilot program.

• July 1, 1992 The Peninsula Corridor Study Joint Powers Board becomes the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board with Amtrak as contract operator. San Mateo County Transit District provides administration and contract oversight. Weekday service is increased from 54 to 60 trains. Tamien station opens in San Jose. Service is extended to Gilroy.

• December 1991 The Joint Powers Board purchased rail lines in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The JPB secured trackage rights to Gilroy for another $4 million, with an option to acquire half the right of way in the future. Union Pacific retains rights to operate freight service in the corridor. Right of way is purchased from Southern Pacific Transportation Company for $220 million.

Section 1 1-6 05/2007

• July 1, 1980 The new agreement takes effect, with Caltrans assuming responsibility for the Peninsula Commute Service.

• 1979 The 1909 wood-frame/stucco Redwood City station is damaged in a fire and replaced by a trailer.

• 1977 Southern Pacific petitions the state Public Utilities Commission (which says "no") and then the Interstate Commerce Commission to discontinue the Peninsula Commute Service. A bitter fight follows. After long months of negotiation, the three counties through which the Peninsula Commute Service runs and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), reach an agreement with Southern Pacific. SP would become the contractor and the public agencies would cover most of the operating costs.

• 1976 San Mateo's old station is torn down to make way for a parking structure.

• June 23, 1975 Fourth and Townsend Streets terminal opens in San Francisco.

Section 1 1-7 05/2007

• Jan. 16, 1864 The line is completed to San Jose. Within a short time, two trains operate each way weekdays between San Francisco and San Jose. The San Francisco terminal initially is located at 18th and Valencia streets.

• October 1863 Regular service between San Francisco and Mayfield (now California Avenue in Palo Alto) begins. The trip takes two hours. At Mayfield, passengers have to board a stagecoach to get to San Jose.

• 1860 San Francisco and San Jose Railroad incorporates. Financing for a railroad between those cities comes from three counties -- San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara.

• January 1851 A line connecting the trading center of San Francisco with California's first state capital, San Jose, was proposed.

D. Caltrain Improvements

PCJPB has a very aggressive capital improvement plan to upgrade and improve the physical plant. The plan will upgrade the route to a modern facility with continuous welded rail, new concrete and wood ties, CTC signaling and many other improvements to the stations, bridges and right of way. The annual capital expenditure is approximately $100 million. The plan calls for major capacity expansion with additional main tracks, additional and improved grade separations, improved station and terminal facilities, a new equipment maintenance facility and potential extensions. Caltrain is also planning for electrification of the route. Additionally, the Caltrain corridor and tracks may be incorporated into the future California high-speed rail system.

CALTRAIN ORGANIZATION

A. PCJPB

The Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board is a state-authorized joint powers authority controlled by the three counties where Caltrain operates—San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara Counties. For administrative purposes, San Mateo County’s transportation agency, SamTrans, provides administrative and staff support for PCJPB. The PCJPB has a relatively small staff and performs much of its engineering, construction, maintenance and operations with the assistance of consultants and contractors.

B. Contract Operator (Amtrak)

The contract operator (Amtrak) operates, maintains, and dispatches PCJPB trains and performs basic track, signal, and structure inspection and maintenance. Amtrak supports the substantial amount of construction and third-party work along the corridor,


Section 1 1-8 05/2007

primarily by providing flagging and watchmen. Amtrak also performs small construction tasks such as rebuilding yard tracks and replacing road crossings. PCJPB in conjunction with the contract operator is responsible for coordinating these activities.

C. PCJPB Construction Contractors

PCJPB construction contractors perform a wide variety of tasks, including renewals such as track, bridge, station and signal construction and reconstruction.

D. Union Pacific Joint Facilities

The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) operates local freight service on PCJPB trackage, and has joint facility arrangements in a number of other locations. In general, the UPRR owns and maintains Track No. 1 from CP Coast to CP Lick and all freight tracks off the main tracks from San Francisco to Lick.

TABLE 2.1 - SELECTED ANSI SHEET SIZES

2.2 PROTOTYPE FILES

To facilitate drawing creation, PCJPB has created a number of prototype files with border and title block inserted and AutoCAD drawing variables and layers set in accordance with the criteria given in this Manual. Contract drawing files may be created using these files. See Table 2.2. These files are available for downloading on PCJPB’s ftp site.

2.3 DRAWING TYPES

2.3.1 Dimensional

Dimensional drawings depict objects to scale and portray accurately the spatial relationships between them. Examples might include structural steel details, architectural elevations, track routing and layout plans, plans and profiles of storm sewers, etc. These drawings shall be prepared from AutoCAD models created at full size. Scale shall be indicated on dimensional drawings in accordance with Sections 4 and 7.

2.3.2 Non-dimensional

Non-dimensional drawings are not drawn to any scale. They portray relationships schematically or contain purely tabular or textual information. Examples include flow diagrams, electrical single line diagrams, drawing indices, etc.


Section 2 2-2 05/2007

2.3.3 Track Charts

Track Charts diagram the various rail alignments within the PCJPB system. Straight lines represent the alignments with distances along them shown to a set scale, which is true only along these lines. The charts show station and alignment information, such as boarding platform types, station amenities, curve data, speed limits, grades, rail type and weight, etc. Features shown crossing the alignments have an associated milepost location and provide useful reference points when locating various work areas within the PCJPB system.

2.4 REFERENCE SYSTEMS

Building an effective CADD model requires the positioning of all design elements---stations, track alignments, parking structures, column layouts, storage and maintenance yards, etc.---in the model at locations which correspond to their intended locations in the PCJPB system when finally constructed. When the design effort is complete it should be possible to overlay every plan file and view the entire design with all model elements shown in correct relationship and position. AutoCAD models showing proposed and/or existing track alignments, buildings, roadways, parking areas and/or other major installations to scale shall be positioned horizontally with reference to the California State Plane Coordinate System, Zone 3, North American Datum, 1983 (NAD83). Elevations shall be referenced to the North American Vertical Datum, 1988 (NAVD88).

SECTION 3 DRAWING NUMBERS, CADD FILE NAMING

SYSTEM AND DRAWING STRUCTURE

3.1 GENERAL

In this manual, the terms drawing and sheet refer to either a plot on paper of a layout in an AutoCAD drawing file or the layout itself. All project CADD files and plotted drawings submitted to PCJPB shall follow the naming conventions given in this Section. When creating scaled drawings, all AutoCAD entities depicting the elements of a design shall be drawn at a scale of one to one in model space. Drawings to be plotted from AutoCAD drawing files shall be created using layouts. There shall be a layout for each drawing, and each layout shall be named with the name of the drawing in the plot set it represents. For example, layout C101 would correspond with drawing C101 in the plot set. Layouts shall be used for plotting in all cases. The standard drawing border and title block shall be inserted in each layout. The standard drawing border and title block shall conform to the specifications given in Section 4. No path names shall be associated with font files, menus and/or externally referenced files.

3.2 DRAWING NUMBERS

Drawing numbers shall consist of from four to six characters. See the following example.

C101 Discipline Character Drawing Serial Number

The discipline character shall be a letter chosen in accordance with Appendix 1. The drawing serial number may range from 001 to 99999.

3.3 CADD FILE NAMING SYSTEM

3.3.1 General

CADD file names may consist of from eight to twelve characters (not including the dash) and the required three-character drawing file extension. See the following illustration.


Section 3 3-2 05/2007

Required AutoCAD extension CADD Code

PNDC101-A.DWG Project Code Discipline Character Revision level (up to three characters) Serial number (three to five characters)

3.3.2 CADD and Project Codes

Each project shall be assigned a unique CADD code, the characters of which shall occupy the first two spaces in the names of its CADD files. A project code character shall occupy the third space. Each phase or module in a project shall have its own project code. All files pertaining to a particular phase or module in a project shall have that phase’s or module’s project code in their names. These codes uniquely identify the CADD files of a particular project and its phases/modules, allowing them to be searched for electronically and distinguished easily from all other files. PCJPB Project managers and/or project engineers shall choose and assign these codes in coordination with the PCJPB CADD Manager. The CADD Manager shall be provided with a listing of these codes at the beginning of each project.

3.3.3 Discipline Character

A discipline character assigned in accordance with Appendix 1 shall occupy the fourth space. Civil files shall be identified as such with a “C”, Structural files with an “S”, etc.

3.3.4 Serial Number

The serial number in CADD file names may range from 001 to 99999. The serial number of the first drawing in a series of drawings shall always end in a one (1) as, for example, C4801, C4802, C4803 or A601, A602, A603, A604, A605, etc.

3.3.5 Revision Level

The last one to three characters in a file name shall indicate the file’s revision level. Revision level characters shall be separated from the main file name with a dash (-). Tracking a file’s revision level allows its various versions (30%, 65%, Issued for Bid (IFB), etc.) to be distinguished from each other. In CADD files with multiple layouts, individual layouts within the file may have different revision levels. In such cases, the revision level given in the file’s name shall reflect the highest revision level among its layouts. See Section 9 for more information.

3.4 REFERENCE FILES

3.4.1 General

Files containing background information such as topography, property lines, etc. intended to underlay and provide context for design information in other CADD files are termed reference (xref) files. When AutoCAD


Section 3 3-3 05/2007

brings such a file into another CADD file, that file is said to be externally referenced. Reference files shall conform to the standards for layer, color, text, line type, etc. established in this Manual.

3.4.2 Reference File Names

Design consultant reference file names shall consist of up to ten characters and the three character drawing file extension. All letters in reference file names shall be capitalized. The first character in a reference file’s name shall be an X to signify that it is a reference file intended for external referencing. The second character shall be a discipline character chosen from the list in Appendix 1. Next shall come up to eight characters indicating the type of information generally contained in the file. Reference file names shall have no blank spaces or special characters in them. Throughout the drawing development process (see Section 9), reference file names shall remain unchanged. Instead of appending characters denoting revision levels to the ends of reference file names, the revision level of each reference file shall be recorded and tracked within the file itself. This shall be accomplished by means of each file’s Drawing Properties Dialog Box accessed through the File menu tab. When the revision level of a reference file changes, the person responsible for the file shall open up the Drawing Properties Dialog box, go to the Summary tab and enter/change the revision information as shown in Figure 3.1. As illustrated in the figure, the date shall also be recorded along with the revision level. This will assist in identifying the latest version of the file. The date shall be formatted as: YYYYMMDD. The date shall be changed whenever the file is modified. Only the person/design office owning and responsible for a particular reference file shall modify it and make changes to its revision information.

3.4.3 AutoCAD’s Project File Search Path Option As stated in Section 10, reference files shall always be referenced with the Path Type set to “No Path”. PCJPB strongly recommends that AutoCAD’s Project File Search Path option be used for each project. Establishing a Project File Search Path makes it easy for the AutoCAD software to find the project’s reference files. Use of this option requires specification of the value of a Project Name Variable and an associated Project File Search Path. First, create a project directory that will contain the project’s reference files. Then, decide upon the value of the Project Name Variable for the project. To set the Project File Search Path and associate it with the Project Name Variable, open a project CADD file and bring up the Options dialogue box under the Tools menu. Select the Files tab. Then, click on the plus sign next to the Project Files Search Path filing cabinet icon. Click on the Add button and enter the value of the Project Name Variable decided upon earlier. Next, double click on the plus sign to the left of the value just entered. Double click on “Empty”. Then browse to the project directory and click OK. The Project File


Section 3 3-4 05/2007

Search Path is now set and associated with the value of the Project Name Variable. After setting the Project File Search Path, all that remains to be done is to set the value of the Project Name Variable in each of the project’s CADD files. To do this, type in “PROJECTNAME” on the Command line and press ”Enter”. Next, type in the value of the Project Name Variable and press “Enter”. The value of the file’s Project Name Variable is now set, and, whenever the file is opened, AutoCAD will automatically go to the directory specified in the Project File Search Path associated with that value to look for reference files. As long as the required reference files are in the project directory, AutoCAD will always find them. If the path to the project directory should change, just reset the Project File Search Path.

3.5 CADD FILE LAYERS

3.5.1 General

Each graphic entity contained in project CADD files shall be placed on an appropriate layer. Layers shall be named as discussed in Appendix 3, Layer Names.

3.5.2 Aerial Topography Files

PCJPB’s topographic reference files created by aerial mapping follow a different layer naming standard. Refer to Appendix 5 for more information.

3.6 ENTITY COLOR

Colors defined for graphic entities are shown in Appendix 4, Pen Mapping. The color of all graphic entities in project CADD files shall be set to “ByLayer”. PCJPB’s construction drawings, except for Cover/Title sheets, shall be in black and white and grey only. Only colors 1 through 9 and 250 through 254 shall be used for PCJPB’s construction drawings. See PCJPB’s Pen Mapping/Color Chart at the end of this Manual.

3.7 LINE WORK

Line work shall be of the type and weight specified herein. The line type of graphic entities in project CADD files shall be set to “ByLayer”. For all graphic entities, the line type scale shall be set to one (1). Line types shall conform to those indicated on project symbols sheets. An AutoCAD line type file created especially for PCJPB projects, PCJPB.lin, contains special line types for use in PCJPB contract drawings. See Appendix 6. See also Subpart 3.10.2 below. Should a line type be required which is not included in either the PCJPB.lin line type file or the standard AutoCAD line type file, ACAD.lin, a request for the new line type may be submitted to the PCJPB CADD Manager for approval. If the request is approved, the PCJPB CADD manager will add the line type to the PCJPB.lin line type file.


Section 3 3-5 05/2007

3.8 TEXT

3.8.1 General

Text shall be of the type, height, width and weight specified herein. All text shall be vertical. Text created using AutoCAD’s MText command is the preferred type of text to use. Preprinted lettering appliques (stick-on type) or hand drawn text shall NOT be used.

3.8.2 Styles/Fonts

PCJPB specifies three text styles for use in the preparation of its contract drawings: ROMANS, MONO and BOLD. Only these styles shall be used in the preparation of contract drawings for PCJPB. The ROMANS style is based on the romans.shx font and shall be used for all text except as follows. The MONO style, based on the msimplex.shx font, may be used wherever equally spaced characters are desirable as, for example, on index sheets or in tables. The BOLD style is formed using the Swis721 BT font and shall be used wherever a bold type style is desirable.

3.8.3 Height

Text heights shall be as shown in Figure 3.2 and discussed in Section 7. The height of characters in a text string shall be specified at the time the string is created. Text height shall NOT be specified in the Text Style dialogue box. The font height variable in the Text Style dialogue box shall always be set to zero (0). The minimum character height shall be 1/8” (0.125”) on full-size (ANSI D size) plots. See Tables 3.1 and 3.2.

3.8.4 Width

Generally, the width factor for text shall be one (1). See also Part 4.1.

3.8.5 Weight

The weight for text on full-size (ANSI D size) plots shall be in accordance with Figure 3.2.

3.8.6 Orientation

Text shall be oriented as shown in Figure 3.3.

3.8.7 Case

All text shall be upper case unless otherwise specified.

3.9 SYMBOLS AND BLOCKS

Blocks shall be created on layer zero with their color values set to “ByLayer”. PCJPB has created AutoCAD files/blocks for many of the general and discipline specific symbols used in PCJPB contract drawings. These files/blocks are available for downloading on PCJPB’s ftp site. They shall not be substituted, modified or exploded. See Appendix 8 and the PCJPB CADD Manual Quick Reference Sheet at the end of this Manual for more information.


Section 3 3-6 05/2007

Each drawing set shall use symbols from standard reference sources. All symbols used in a set of drawings shall be shown, if not on PCJPB’s symbols sheet(s), then as appropriate on any included discipline specific symbols sheet(s).

3.10 PLOTTING

3.10.1 General

In order for PCJPB and its consultants to plot drawings efficiently and to ensure uniformity, the following standards and procedures shall be used in their preparation.

3.10.2 Line Weights

The weight of plotted lines shall be controlled by their color in accordance with Appendix 4, Pen Mapping. In the Layer Manager, line weights for all layers shall be set to “default”. The color of all lines and other graphic entities in project CADD files shall be set to “ByLayer”. The Color-dependent Plot Style Table file PCJPB.ctb shall be used for the plotting of PCJPB’s construction drawings in all cases. Lines of weight greater than 0.90mm shall be created using AutoCAD 2D polylines of the desired weight. Line weights on half-size plots shall be one half those on full-size plots. See PCJPB’s Pen Mapping/Color Chart at the end of this Manual.

3.10.3 Backgrounds

Often it is desired that background detail (topography, existing utility lines, etc.) on construction drawings appear as if screened when the drawings are plotted. For PCJPB’s construction drawings, this effect may be achieved by assigning any one of colors 8, 9 and 250 through 254 to each of the CADD file layers containing background detail. See Appendix 4, Pen Mapping.

3.10.4 Drawing Plots

Plot sets submitted to PCJPB shall be plotted on the media specified in Sections 2 and 10.

3.10.5 Layouts

All drawings shall be set up using layouts. The names of the layouts shall correspond to the names of their respective plotted drawings.

See Figures 4.1 and 4.4 for the stamp’s configuration and placement. Stamping plots in this way prevents any confusion as to which ones are the most current and allows the source file to be found easily. The plot stamp used is an AutoCAD file/block, stamp.dwg, embedded in PCJPB’s prototype drawing files and the file/block JPBBDR.dwg. If these files are used to create project CADD files, nothing need be done for their plots to bear a plot stamp. Stamp.dwg updates automatically each time files it is embedded in are opened and plotted.

Each drawing set shall have a Cover/Title sheet. Refer to Section 8 for more information. See Figure 9.10 for an illustration.

6.3 INDEX OF DRAWINGS SHEETS

Each drawing set shall have an Index of Drawings. The index sheet(s) shall list all the drawings in the set by page number in order of assembly. Drawings shall be organized in accordance with the requirements of Section 8. PCJPB has a prototype drawing file, INDX.dwg, which shall be used to create the index sheet(s). The index heading file/block, JPBIDX.dwg, embedded in this file shall be used without modification. On each sheet, the body of the index shall be partitioned into four equally spaced vertical sections. Each section shall consist


Section 6 6-2 05/2007

of four columns headed from left to right as follows: PAGE NO, DWG NO, REV NO and TITLE. Each entry in the index shall have these four pieces of information, and the title given in the entry for each drawing shall reflect exactly the information shown in the drawing’s title block. The main heading of each index sheet shall be of text measuring 1/4” (0.250”) high. The text of column titles shall be 0.140” high and that of discipline headings 3/16” (0.1875”) high. The body of the index shall be of 1/8” (0.125”) high text. Each entry shall be single spaced, and there shall be a blank line between entries. See Figure 3.1 for detailed text specifications. It is suggested that the body of the index be set in PCJPB’s Mono style. A 1” space shall be provided between the last drawing listed for a design discipline and the heading of the next discipline. On each index sheet, a blank space of no less than 10 percent of its total index space shall be left at the end of the last column to allow for the listing of additional drawings which may be created as a project progresses. An example of a typical Index of Drawings sheet is shown in Figure 6.1.

6.4 ABBREVIATIONS SHEETS PCJPB will provide standard abbreviations sheets, which contain the abbreviations most commonly used in PCJPB contract drawings. The abbreviations shown on these sheets shall be used in the preparation of project drawings. Additional abbreviations sheets with discipline and/or project specific abbreviations not found on the standard abbreviations sheets PCJPB provides may be included as necessary. The text on such sheets shall be single spaced and 1/8” (0.125”) high with two blank lines separating each alphabetical section. The titles and text on such sheets shall conform to the specifications given in Figure 3.1. Additional abbreviations may be combined with additional symbols and shown on one sheet.

6.5 SYMBOLS SHEETS PCJPB will also provide standard symbols sheets, which contain symbols commonly used on PCJPB contract drawings. The symbols depicted shall be used in preparation of project drawings. Additional symbols sheets with discipline and/or project specific symbols not found on PCJPB’s standard symbols sheets may be included as necessary. They shall have equally spaced columns set off by vertical lines, 0.70mm wide. Text and symbol arrangement on them shall be as on PCJPB’s standard symbols sheets. Additional symbols may be combined with additional abbreviations and shown on one sheet.


Section 6 6-3 05/2007

6.6 GENERAL NOTES SHEETS

A general notes sheet provided by PCJPB may be included. If additional notes sheets are required, the text shall be arranged in equally spaced columns, starting in the upper left-hand corner. The body shall be of 1/8” (0.125”) high text. Headings shall be 0.140” high. Single-line spacing shall be used within a given note with a blank line left between notes. The sheet(s) shall be incorporated in the drawing set as outlined in Section 8.

6.7 PLAN SHEETS

The content of the plan sheets for each discipline is defined in Section 8.

6.8 PROFILE SHEETS

Specific requirements for profile sheets are given in Section 8. Designers shall create profile grids with Autodesk Land Development Desktop’s Profile Generator using PCJPB’s parameters. See Figure 8.3 for a sample.

6.9 DETAIL SHEETS

Detail sheets are typically set up using an imaginary grid to divide the drawing space into equal sections. For instance, a sheet might be divided into thirty-two sections, eight across and four down. Where practical, details shall be developed and organized within these grid sections. Larger spaces can be made up of the basic section. A large detail, for example, might occupy a space of two by three grid sections. On each sheet, details shall be numbered from left to right and top to bottom. Detail titles shall be aligned with each other. Rules for calling out and identifying details are outlined in Section 7, Drafting Rules.

6.10 SECTION SHEETS

Section 8 specifies the content of section sheets by discipline. Rules for cutting and identifying sections are outlined in Section 7, Drafting Rules.

6.11 ELEVATION, DIAGRAM AND SCHEDULES SHEETS

Section 8 specifies the content of elevation, diagram and schedules sheets by discipline.

6.12 STANDARD DRAWINGS

PCJPB will maintain and provide a series of standard drawings. Standard drawings, whether those of Caltrans, local jurisdictions, PCJPB or others, shall be used as much as possible and included in the project drawings set.

7.3.1 Scale

The basic scale used in each drawing shall be noted in the Border Scale Box. If the vertical scale is different from the horizontal scale on the same drawing, both scales shall be noted, with each followed by the letter "H" or "V" as appropriate. For example: 1”=40’ H; 1”=10’ V. A graphic scale shall be shown as appropriate. The preferred graphic scale location is just below titles, or in the lower right-hand corner just above the Title Block. On a drawing which employs various scales, the scale shall be noted directly below each plan, elevation, section or detail where used, and the entry in the Border Scale Box shall read “AS NOTED”. If an elevation, section, etc. is not drawn to scale, ”NTS” (Not to Scale) shall be placed under its title. When an entire drawing is not drawn to a particular scale, "NTS" shall be shown in the Scale Box. For drawings with no scale, the entry shall be “NONE”. See Figure 7.2 below.

FIGURE 7.2 - GRAPHIC SCALES


Section 7 7-3 05/2007

7.3.2 Units of Measure

Unless PCJPB directs otherwise, English units shall be used. Distances, dimensions and elevations shall be expressed in US Feet. Angles and bearings shall be expressed in degrees, minutes and seconds.

7.3.3 Precision

Hypsometric elevations and distances and dimensions expressed in decimal feet shall be given to two decimal places. Horizontal coordinates (northings and eastings) shall be expressed to three decimal places. Angles and bearings shall be given to the nearest tenth of a second of arc. Dimensions expressed in feet and inches shall be given to the nearest 1/8” or as is appropriate. All other quantities---volume, weight, slope, etc.---shall be expressed with an appropriate level of precision. Examples follow:

• Elevation 654.54’

• Grade + 0.50%

• Slope 0.005

• Coordinate (2044643.712, 6016950.302)

• Bearing N 70°35'32.5” E

• Stationing MT2 180+45.15

• Angular 47°15’32.0”

7.3.4 Dimensioning Systems

Designers shall employ dimensioning systems as follows. Civil and utility plans shall use the decimal foot. Sections, details, etc. within civil and utility drawings may be dimensioned in decimal feet and/or feet and inches. Structural, architectural, mechanical, track work and electrical drawings and their associated sections and details shall be dimensioned using feet and inches. For all disciplines, hypsometric elevations shall be expressed in decimal feet.

7.3.5 Dimensioning

Dimensions, where possible, shall be AutoCAD Associative Dimensions and meet the following requirements. The sizes given are for dimensions as shown on full-size plots.

A) Sufficient dimensions shall be provided for size, shape and location to

be determined without calculation.

B) Each dimension shall be shown clearly so that only one interpretation is possible.


Section 7 7-4 05/2007

C) Dimensions shall be shown between points, lines or surfaces having a necessary and specific relationship to each other or which control the location of mating parts or assemblies.

D) Dimensions shall be selected and arranged to avoid accumulation of

tolerances that might ultimately permit more than one interpretation, resulting in unsatisfactory mating of parts and failure in use. If required, tolerances shall be given for each dimension, except reference dimensions. Tolerances shall be applied directly or indicated by a general tolerance note on the drawing.

E) Each dimension of an object, assembly, etc. shall be shown only

once.

G) When possible, each object dimensioned shall be dimensioned in the view where it appears in profile or in one depicting its true profile.

H) To minimize errors and confusion, each object, piece of equipment,

assembly, etc. shall be dimensioned only once in a drawing set. Where it appears in other drawings in the set, there shall be a reference to the sheet on which its dimensions are shown.

I) Dimension text shall plot 1/8” (0.125”) high minimum.

J) Dimensioning shall be done in Model Space.

K) Fractions of an inch expressed feet and inches shall have a slash

between the numerator and denominator as, for example, 1 3/8”.

L) For dimensions expressed in feet and inches, zero feet (0’) shall be suppressed, zero inches (-0”) kept. Zero feet shall not precede dimensions of less than one foot. In dimensions coming out to some value in whole feet, zero inches shall follow said value. For example: 1’-0”, 9”, 11 1/4”, 1/2”, 360’-0”, 7/8”, 10’-9 1/2“, 7’-0 3/8“, etc.

M) For dimensions expressed in decimal feet, leading and trailing zeros

shall be kept. For example: 100.30’, 0.56’, 0.70’, etc. N) For angular dimensions leading and trailing zeros shall be kept. For

example: 38°20’2.0”, 15°30’0.7”, 90°0’0.0”, etc. O) Dimensions shall be placed 5/32” (0.15625”) above or below and in

alignment with the dimension line. P) Dimension lines shall end in arrowheads. Arrowheads shall be 3/16”

(0.1875”) in length. Q) Extension lines shall extend 1/8” (0.125”) beyond dimension lines and

be offset 1/16” (0.0625”) from their origins.


Section 7 7-5 05/2007

R) Center marks shall be 3/32” (0.09375”) in size. S) Steel reinforcement bar spacing shall be specified without the inches

(“) symbol. For example, write #4@18 rather than #4@18”.

7.3.6 Dimension Styles

PCJPB’s prototype drawing files (see Part 2.2) include dimension styles set up in accordance with the criteria given in this Section. Currently, there are four basic styles. CIVIL DECIMAL FEET (CIVIL FEET) and CIVIL FEET AND INCHES (CIVIL F AND I) are for use in AutoCAD files with drawing units for length set to type decimal with the insertion scale variable set to feet. ARCHITECTURAL DECIMAL FEET (ARCH FEET) and ARCHITECTURAL FEET AND INCHES (ARCH F AND I) are for use in AutoCAD files with drawing units for length set to type architectural with the insertion scale variable set to inches. Figures 7.3 through 7.14 illustrate the settings used for these styles. Figures 7.3 through 7.6 show settings common to both the CIVIL FEET and the CIVIL F AND I styles. Figures 7.7 and 7.8 show the primary units settings for CIVIL FEET styles and CIVIL F AND I styles respectively. Figures 7.9 through 7.12 show settings common to both the ARCH FEET and the ARCH F AND I styles. Figures 7.13 and 7.14 show the primary units settings for ARCH FEET styles and ARCH F AND I styles respectively. See Figures 7.15 and 7.16 for examples of dimensions created using these styles.

Generally, a dimension style shall be created for each scale at which dimensioned objects appear in a set of drawings. Designers shall derive all dimension styles in their drawings from PCJPB’s four basic styles. In creating a new style, only the value of the Scale for Dimension Features variable and style name shall vary. None of the other settings shall change. Create the new style and adjust the setting in the Scale for Dimension Features box located on the Fit tab in the Modify Dimension Style dialog box as appropriate. See Tables 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 for style names to use and overall scale factors to apply in the creation of dimension styles for PCJPB drawings. Styles for scales not appearing in the tables shall be created and named in a similar fashion.

Note that PCJPB generally does not require the use of alternate units and tolerances in the dimensioning of its CADD drawings. The Alternate Units and Tolerances tabs in the Modify Dimension Style dialog box may be ignored for most purposes. Note also that the measurement scale has been preset in each style so that all objects drawn at a scale of one to one in model space will dimension correctly as long as the appropriate dimensioning style is used. All objects shall be drawn in model space, and all objects intended to be shown at scale shall be drawn at a scale of one to one. Finally, use PCJPB’s feet and inches styles when dimensioning angles. Should the decimal feet styles be used for angular dimensions, AutoCAD will put an additional tick behind all seconds of arc ticks.

7.4 NOTES

Where possible, notes applicable to a whole drawing shall be shown in the upper right-hand corner of the drawing. Additional columns may be used for notes with the information always reading starting from the left most column and proceeding to the right. Notes shall be of single spaced text, 1/8” (0.125”) high with a blank line between each note. The underlined word “NOTE:” or “NOTES:” in 0.140” high characters shall identify notes. See Figure 7.17.

FIGURE 7.17 - FORMAT FOR NOTES 7.5 LABELS (CALL OUTS)

Labels applicable to a particular part of a drawing shall be shown within the area of the detail, section or part to which they apply. MText shall not be attached to leaders. In the Leader Settings dialogue box, under the Annotation tab, the Annotation Type shall be set to “None”. Label text shall be 1/8” (0.125”) high.

7.6 MATCH LINES

Whenever drawing detail extends across multiple sheets or multiple viewports on the same sheet, match lines shall be provided where the detail begins and ends on each sheet or in each view. Match lines shall be drawn using the special PCJPB line type “Match” found in the line type file PCJPB.lin, PCJPB’s special line types file. See Appendix 6.


Section 7 7-19 05/2007

Generally, match lines shall be labeled “MATCH LINE SEE DWG X000.” For drawings that show alignments extending across multiple sheets or multiple viewports on the same sheet, the match lines shall be labeled to show the controlling alignment’s stationing as well. Thus: MATCH LINE MT1 200+56 SEE DWG C107, for example. Match lines cutting alignments shall cut the controlling alignment such that they are perpendicular to tangents and radial to curves and spirals of that alignment. Drawing detail shall be clipped at the match line. Should detail continue on the same sheet in a different viewport, the label shall read “SEE ABOVE RIGHT”, “SEE BELOW LEFT“, etc. as appropriate. Match line labels shall be shown parallel to the match line and on the side opposite of drawing detail. The drawing a match line label refers to shall be the abutting sheet on which the detail continues. Match line label text shall be 1/4” (0.25”) high. The line weight of match lines and their labels shall be 0.90mm. See Figure 7.18 below for examples.

Section 7 7-21 05/2007

FIGURE 7.20 - BLOCKS FOR CALLING OUT DETAILS, ELEVATIONS, CUTTING SECTIONS

7.7.2 Details

Details shall be identified with numerals. The drawing number(s) of the sheet(s) on which a particular detail is called out shall be shown on the left-hand side of its title. Should a detail be called out and shown in one and only one drawing, a horizontal bar shall replace the drawing number in both the callout and title. Where appropriate, enclose objects and/or areas to be shown in detail with a reference bubble. Reference bubbles shall be drawn using a dashed line of appropriate line weight and line type scale. See Figure 7.21 for illustrations of how to call out and identify details.

7.7.3 Sections

Sections shall be identified with letters. Sections shall be called out in alphabetical order from left to right and from top to bottom in a drawing. The drawing number(s) of the sheet(s) on which a particular section is called out shall be shown on the left-hand side of its title. Should a section be taken and shown in one and only one drawing, a horizontal bar shall replace the drawing number in both the callout and title. Figures 7.22 and 7.23 illustrate the treatment of sections. If a section is similar to one already shown, either on the same sheet or on another sheet, reference the existing section and state that the sections are similar. Another drawing showing the similar section would not then be required. The word "SIMILAR" shall be shown as "SIM" and shall be expanded to explain how the sections differ; such as "SIM, BUT OPP HAND" or SIM, EXCEPT AS NOTED." The word "SAME” shall not be used. See Figure 7.22.

7.7.4 Elevations

In many instances, elevations are treated in a fashion similar to details and sections. In such cases, elevations shall be identified with letters and shall be called out in alphabetical order from left to right and from top to bottom in a drawing. The drawing number(s) of the sheet(s) on which such an elevation is called out shall be shown on the left-hand side of its title. Should such an elevation be called out and shown in one and only one drawing, a horizontal bar shall replace the drawing number in both the callout and title. The discussion above for similar sections also applies to similar elevations. Figure 7.24 gives examples of the treatment of elevations.

7.7.5 Track Segment Cross Sections

Track segment cross sections cut at regular intervals for use in earthwork calculations and definition of limits of construction shall not be identified on plans.


Section 7 7-25 05/2007

Section 7 7-26 05/2007

7.8 TITLES

Titles shall be provided under each part or sub-part of a drawing. The height and weight of text for main titles and subtitles shall be as specified in Figure 3.1. Main titles shall be underlined with a line of the same line weight as the title text. The underline shall span the length of the title including any scale notation. See Figures 7.19 through 7.24. Titles of cross sections cutting alignments shall include as a subtitle the station along the controlling alignment at which they are taken. For example, MT1 XXX+XX.

7.9 IDENTIFYING COMPONENTS

The components of equipment, fixtures, etc. shown in a drawing or detail shall be labeled as required using the same terminology as in the manufacturer’s technical specification. If abbreviations are used, they shall be the same as those shown on the abbreviations sheets.

Section 8 8-1 05/2007

SECTION 8 DRAWING ORGANIZATION AND

DESIGN GUIDELINES 8.1 GENERAL

When preparing designs for PCJPB, architects, engineers and other consultants shall adhere to the standards and best practices customary for their disciplines. Design and construction drawings submitted to PCJPB shall conform to the CADD specifications given in this Manual. When choosing architectural and engineering scales, keep in mind that drawings will typically be submitted, distributed and used on 11” x 17” sheets. This Section lists the types of drawings usually produced for PCJPB projects. Each project is unique, and thus the requirements for each will differ. Some may involve many disciplines, others only a few. For a larger project, work may be split up into modules, each module involving different localities and/or aspects of the project. Therefore, the submittal package(s) for each project or module will be unique; usually, not all disciplines and drawing types will be represented in each package. For all projects, however, submitted drawings shall be assembled in the same general order. The parts in this section give the order in which drawings are to be assembled for submittal to PCJPB. Part 8.2 outlines the overall assembly order of drawings for a project or module. Following parts discuss the content, scale and desired order for drawings within each discipline. These requirements shall apply to all design, construction and record drawing submittals. When a project involves multiple locations along Caltrain’s right-of-way, PCJPB recommends that the project drawings be assembled by location. That is that all drawings of the various disciplines pertaining to each locale be kept together and assembled in the order given in Part 8.2.

8.2 PROJECT/MODULE DRAWING ORDER

8.2.1 General

Drawings common to all disciplines, such as the Index of Drawings sheet(s), standard abbreviations sheet(s), etc., shall come first. Drawings for each discipline shall come next followed by any reference drawings.

Common Drawings:

• Cover/Title Sheet • Index of Drawings Sheet(s) • PCJPB General Notes (Provided by PCJPB) • PCJPB Standard Abbreviations (Provided by PCJPB) • PCJPB Standard Symbols (Provided by PCJPB) • General Plan/Sheet Index


Section 8 8-2 05/2007

• Track Charts Discipline Drawings:

• Civil/Track Work • Utility • Architectural • Landscape • Structural • Mechanical • Electrical • Traction • Overhead Contact System (OCS) • Communications • Fare Collection • Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) • Train Control • Corrosion Control • Rolling Stock

A typical example of civil drawings assembled for submittal is shown in Appendix 2.

8.2.2 Cover/Title Sheet

Each set of submitted project drawings shall have a Cover/Title sheet. The Cover/Title sheet shall show the Caltrain system map and logo, the project title and subtitles indicating the subject matter of the drawings included in the drawing set, volume information as necessary, the type of submittal and the submittal date. Cover/Title sheets shall be created by inserting the attributed file/block JPBCVR.dwg into blank drawing files and filling in its fields as required. See Figure 9.10 for an example.

8.2.3 Index of Drawings

The Index of Drawings shall show for each drawing in the project, in order of assembly, its page number, drawing number, revision level and title. PCJPB provides a prototype drawing file, INDX.dwg, which shall be used to create index of drawings sheets. See Figure 6.1.

8.2.4 PCJPB General Notes Sheet

This sheet contains notes applicable to the entire project. PCJPB will provide this sheet.

8.2.5 PCJPB Standard Abbreviations Sheets

PCJPB has developed a number of abbreviations sheets. They contain standard abbreviations to be used in all project drawings. PCJPB will provide these as required.


Section 8 8-3 05/2007

8.2.6 PCJPB Standard Symbols Sheets

PCJPB has also developed a number of symbols sheets. They contain standard symbols to be used in all project drawings. PCJPB will also provide these as required.

8.2.7 General Plan/Sheet Index

The General Plan/Sheet Index drawing shall be on a single sheet if possible. It shall provide an overview of the whole project within the limits of construction and show graphically the area covered by each plan and profile sheet in the plan set.

Section 9 9-1 05/2007

SECTION 9 DRAWING DEVELOPMENT AND REVISION

9.1 GENERAL

This Section outlines the process by which drawings for PCJPB projects are developed. PCJPB furnished AutoCAD reference files, files/blocks, contract drawings and standard drawings are not developed as part of projects and are not subject to this process. Only PCJPB revises these files. Designers create, develop and revise project drawings during several project phases as discussed below. During these phases, project drawings are periodically submitted along with their associated CADD files for review. PCJPB’s engineering staff reviews the submitted drawings for design, and the CADD Department reviews (audits) the CADD files for conformance to the CADD criteria set out in this Manual.

9.2 DRAWING DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES

9.2.1 Design Phase

Work during this phase results in final design drawings which show the goals of a project, what it is that is to be done. As a design is developed, it usually goes through several revisions. When a revision is completed, drawings are submitted to PCJPB for review and comment. These submittals are known as interim or percentage submittals (30%, 65%, etc).

9.2.2 Issued For Bid (IFB) Phase

During the Issued for Bid phase, approved design drawings go out to contractors so that they can bid on the construction work. During the bid period, additional design work is sometimes needed. The resulting revisions during this phase are called Addenda.

9.2.3 Conformed Phase (Issued For Construction)

During this phase PCJPB awards contracts to successful bidders. Contract documents packages include drawings approved for use in construction. These drawings incorporate the revisions (addenda) made during the IFB phase.

9.2.4 Construction Phase (Project Records)

After construction begins, further clarifications and/or changes to a design may be necessary. In these cases, designers provide clarifications or make revisions and issue field bulletins and change orders. The contractor maintains one full-size set of Conformed Drawings as the Daily Project Record Set. As field bulletins and change orders are issued, the


Section 9 9-2 05/2007

contractor records in red ink all the changes specified in them on this set of drawings.

9.2.5 Record Drawings Phase (As-Builts)

When construction of a project is finished, the contractor prepares a Final Project Record (As-Built) set for the project. This is a set of construction drawings marked up in the field to show where and how the project as constructed deviates from the project as originally designed. At minimum, the contractor transfers all changes noted on the Daily Project Record Set (whether from field bulletins, change orders or some other source) on to a new, clean, reproducible set of the project’s Conformed Drawings. These As-Built drawings are then used to create a final revision of the conformed set of project CADD files. These revised files and the drawings plotted from them form the project’s Record Drawings, a permanent record of the project.

9.3 REVISION PROCEDURES

9.3.1 General

Revision levels shall be controlled and assigned by the discipline professional “in responsible charge”. Generally, a new revision level is assigned to a drawing or set of drawings whenever warranted. This Part outlines specific revision procedures for each project phase.

Revisions to drawings shall be highlighted with revision clouds drawn using a scalloped line 0.50 mm in width. Revision clouds shall enclose revised areas of drawings and be labeled with a revision triangle (AutoCAD file/block JPBTRI.dwg), which touches the cloud and indicates the level of the revision. When drawings reach the next revision level, all revision clouds associated with the previous level shall be removed and new revision clouds and triangles highlighting the newly revised areas added. Triangles labeling the revisions of previous levels shall remain. When a project moves into a new phase (from the IFB phase into the Conformed phase, for example) all evidence of revisions from the previous phase shall be removed from the drawings, and the process shall begin again. See Figure 9.1.

During drawing development, in order to track revisions, CADD file names shall be updated and revision information inserted into drawing borders as discussed below. See Parts 3.3 and 4.16 for more information. Drawing indexes shall be maintained throughout all project phases and shall be reissued as necessary so that they always reflect the current revision levels of project drawings.

9.3.2 Design Drawings

Letters of the alphabet shall be used throughout the design phase to denote a drawing’s revision level. Revision blocks (JPBREV.dwg) shall be inserted into drawing borders as necessary to indicate the current revision level of each drawing. The value in the drawing border revision


Section 9 9-3 05/2007

level boxes (Part 4.9) shall be kept current as well. Letters denoting revision levels shall also be appended with a dash to the file names of revised CADD files. See Figure 9.3.

9.3.3 Issued For Bid Drawings

After a design is finalized and approved, and before the drawings are issued for bid, all indicators of revisions from the design phase shall be removed. New revision blocks (JPBREV.dwg) shall be inserted into the drawing borders. The revision level in the revision blocks shall be set to “0” and the revision description to “ISSUED FOR BID.” The value in drawing border revision level boxes shall be set to “0”. All CADD file names shall be updated as well by eliminating any design phase revision designators and appending “-B0” (-B zero) to the ends of the file names. See Figure 9.4.

Should revisions be necessary after drawings are issued for bid, revision clouds and triangles highlighting the revisions shall be added to the drawings. Additional revision blocks (JPBRVT.dwg) shall be inserted into drawing borders above the “ISSUED FOR BID” designation as necessary. Drawing border revision level box values and CADD file names shall be updated as well. In the names of revised issued for bid CADD files, for the first revision, the “0” in “-B0” shall increment to “1”. For the second, the “1” shall increment to “2” and so on. See Figure 9.5. Issued for bid drawings shall be signed and stamped by the responsible registered professional engineer or licensed architect in accordance with Sections 4 and 10. See Figure 4.3.

9.3.4 Conformed Drawings

When drawings are conformed, all indications of revisions from the IFB phase shall be removed. New revision blocks (JPBREV.dwg) shall be inserted into drawing borders with the revision level set to “0” and the description reading “CONFORMED.” The value in drawing border revision level boxes shall revert to “0.” All CADD file names shall be updated as well by replacing any revision level designators from the IFB phase with “-0” (-zero). See Figure 9.6.

As with issued for bid drawings, conformed drawings shall also be signed and stamped by the responsible registered professional engineer or licensed architect.

9.3.5 Construction Drawings

Revision blocks, clouds and triangles shall be used and CADD file names updated as in earlier phases to indicate changes to construction drawings. Numerals shall indicate the revision levels of construction drawings. For the first revision, “-1” shall replace “-0” in the names of revised conformed CADD files, and revision blocks (JPBRVT.dwg) shall be inserted in drawing borders above the “CONFORMED” designation.


Section 9 9-4 05/2007

The revision level in the revision blocks shall be set to “1” and the description shall refer to the PCJPB field bulletin, change order or engineer change notice authorizing the revision. Subsequent revisions shall be indicated in a similar manner with the revision level incrementing to the next whole number. Drawing border revision level box values shall be updated as well. See Figure 9.7.

9.4 RECORD DRAWINGS

Record drawings for a project shall be plotted from conformed CADD files which have been revised to incorporate all of the changes shown on its as-built drawing set and all of the revisions specified in all of the field bulletins, change orders and change notices for the project. These revised files and the drawings plotted from them form the project’s Record Drawings, a permanent record of the project. Record drawings shall retain the stamps and signatures of the person(s) responsible for the original design and any revisions thereto. All indications of previous revisions shall be removed. Insert new revision blocks into drawing borders with descriptions reading “RECORD DRAWING”. No revision level shall be indicated. See Figure 9.8. Record drawings shall have the note shown in Figure 9.2. This is the PCJPB AutoCAD file/block, JPBREC.dwg, which shall be placed electronically into each layout. The note shall be positioned as close to the bottom right-hand corner of each drawing as possible. See Figure 9.9. Figure 9.10 shows an example of a title sheet for a set of record drawings.

10.1 GENERAL

As drawings for a project are developed, designers shall periodically submit the drawing set(s) and associated CADD files for review and comment. If required, contractors shall submit as-built and/or record drawings as well after a project has been constructed. PCJPB’s engineering staff will review the drawings for design, and the CADD Department will review (audit) the CADD files for conformance to the criteria set out in this Manual. All contract drawing submittals to PCJPB shall consist of both hardcopy and electronic media, which shall conform to the requirements of this Section.

10.2 DRAWING FILE PREPARATION

If any project CADD files submitted to PCJPB reference external files, they shall do so using the settings shown in Figure 10.1. The Reference Type shall be set to “Overlay” and the Path Type to “No path” in all cases. (See Subpart 3.4.3.) Reference files shall not be bound to the referencing file. All required reference files shall be referenced directly by the referencing file. Nested reference files (reference files that are themselves referenced by other reference files) will not be allowed. All nonpertinent reference files shall be detached from project CADD files prior to their submittal.

Submitted CADD files shall be purged of all unused blocks, layers, styles, layouts, etc. before submission. Any graphic entities not pertinent to the drawings shall be eliminated from the files. No path names shall be associated with the CADD files, whether with font files, menus or reference files. All viewports shall be locked.

Early on in the design phase, at about the 15% or 20% stage of completion, designers shall submit their work to PCJPB’s CADD Department for an audit of the CADD files. Pdf files need not be included in this submittal, but in all other respects it shall conform to the criteria laid out in this Section. Copies of subsequent submittals shall go to both PCJPB’s CADD and Document Control Departments as discussed below. Electronic submittals shall be made on CDs or DVDs, which shall be delivered in standard jewel cases. For each submittal, two identical sets of the project CADD files shall be provided, each set on its own disc(s). One set shall go to PCJPB’s Document Control Department and the other to PCJPB’s CADD Department. The Document Control and CADD Departments shall also each receive a copy of the plot set(s) derived from the digital files. Drawings submitted for Issued for Bid and subsequent submittals shall bear design professional stamps and signatures. 10.4.2 Electronic Submittals

Only those files necessary to generate the drawings in the accompanying plot set(s) shall be included in electronic submittals to the CADD Department. All the submitted CADD files--drawing files and reference files—and their subsidiary files shall be placed on the disc(s) in one directory. If there are multiple plot sets in the submittal, the files for each plot set shall be placed in their own directory.

If electronic stamps and signatures are used, they shall be externally referenced into the CADD file layouts. Electronic stamps and signatures shall NOT be inserted as blocks or images into the CADD file layouts! They may be referenced as AutoCAD files/blocks or as image files. In the latter case, the electronic stamp and signature for each design professional may be brought together in a single image file. Regardless of which method is used, the stamp and signature file(s) for each design professional signing drawings in a project


Section 10 10-3 05/2007

shall be submitted along with the project’s CADD files and externally referenced into their layouts as appropriate. Submitted CADD files shall be in native AutoCAD drawing file format. Compressed files will not be accepted. The easiest way to prepare digital files for submittal is by means of AutoCAD’s eTransmit utility. See Figure 10.2 for the preferred settings to use. In addition to the project CADD files, a .pdf file for each plot set in the submittal shall also be included. These .pdf files shall contain all the drawings in their respective plot sets. Drawings shall be arranged in the .pdf file(s) as they are in the accompanying plot set(s) and shall all be correctly aligned in the landscape orientation. Drawings in the .pdf files, except for Cover/Title sheets, shall be in black and white and grey only. Electronic submittals shall be made on CD-Rs or DVD-Rs only. Recordable discs are mandatory for electronic submittals. PCJPB will not accept submittals on Rewritable discs (CDRWs, DVDRWs). Discs shall be labeled using either a permanent marker or a standard printed CD/DVD label. They shall be clearly marked with the following information: project name, contract number, submittal phase, date of submittal and the name of the consultant making the submittal. See Figures 10.3 and 10.4.

Submittals shall be compatible with Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system or whatever operating system PCJPB is currently using at the time of submittal.

10.4.3 Hardcopy Submittals

Plot sets shall include the Cover/Title sheet and be punched and bound with Chicago screws. Plotted drawings, except for Cover/Title sheets, shall be in black and white and grey only. See Part 3.6. Full-size drawings to be wet stamped and submitted shall be plotted on 20 lb. bond or better using an HP DesignJet plotter or equivalent and trimmed to 34” x 22” (ANSI D size). Scanned, half-size reductions of original wet stamped drawings shall be printed on 11” x 17” (ANSI B size) sheets of 20 lb. bond or better using an HP LaserJet printer or equivalent. Interim submittal drawing sets shall be plotted half-size on 11” x 17” (ANSI B size) sheets of 20 lb. bond or better using an HP LaserJet printer or equivalent.

Appendix 4 A4-i 05/2007 PCJPB Pen Mapping

APPENDIX 4 PCJPB PEN MAPPING

Consultants are solely responsible for the production and appearance of their hardcopy submittals. The Color-dependent Plot Style Table file PCJPB.ctb is provided to support the consistent plotting of PCJPB project drawings. It shall be used for the plotting of PCJPB project drawings in all cases. The pen assignments it contains are shown in the table below. All entity color and line type values in project CADD files shall be set to "ByLayer”. Note that, in addition to colors 250 through 254, colors 8 and 9 may be assigned to layers when it is desired that the detail on them appear as if screened. Colors 8 and 9 produce true screened blacks as opposed to grays and may give better results when drawings are xeroxed or scanned and the scans plotted. See PCJPB’s Pen Mapping/Color Chart at the end of this Manual.

APPENDIX 5

PCJPB’S AERIAL TOPOGRAPHIC FILES

Periodically, PCJPB contracts to have the Caltrain Corridor flown and mapped. The resulting map consists of a number of AutoCAD drawing files. Each of these topographic files (or tiles) covers an area of 4,000 by 4,000 feet on the ground and is named for the northing and easting of its insertion point. They are intended for use as backgrounds for PCJPB design drawings. This Appendix gives layer, block and line type information for these files. In the following list, (ATT) denotes an attributed block.

Appendix 5 A5-iv 05/2007 PCJPB’S Aerial Topographic Files


Appendix 5 A5-v 05/2007 PCJPB’S Aerial Topographic Files

Do not modify PCJPB’s aerial topography files. Specifically, do not re-map the layer colors, change line types, etc. within the files themselves. Instead, use the AutoCAD XR command to attach them to design files with the overlay option as required. Then re-map the colors, change line types, etc. as desired in the design files using the Layer Properties Manager.

FIGURE A6.3 - LINE TYPES CONTAINED IN THE FILE PCJPB.LIN (CONTINUED)

Notes to PCJPB.lin PCJPB updates PCJPB.lin periodically. Each version is dated, with the date coded as: YYYYMMDD. As of this writing, the current version of PCJPB.lin is PCJPB-20070216.lin. Certain PCJPB line types are based on shapes contained in the file PCJPB2.shx. This file must be present for AutoCAD to display lines of these types correctly. FENCE JPB is used to symbolize PCJPB inter-track and station fencing. MATCHFS is used to draw match lines when the CADD file line type scale is set to one (1). PCJPB.lin also contains the line types MATCH10, MATCH20, MATCH40, MATCH50 AND MATCH100 which are for use in CADD files with the line type scale set to 10, 20, 40, etc. “OH” stands for “OVERHEAD”. The “PL” in “JPB PL” stands for “PIPELINE”. Compound Line Types The line types illustrated in Figures A6.4 and A6.5 below are not contained in the PCJPB.lin file and must be created. For symbolizing a storm drain over 18” in diameter, use a polyline of line type UT STORM DRAIN OVER 18 as a fill in conjunction with a


Appendix 6 A6-iv 05/2007 PCJPB Line Types

casing of two parallel lines. The width of the compound line in model space shall equal the diameter of the storm drain it symbolizes. To create the others, superimpose lines of the indicated type over a line of type RR10, RR20, etc. as appropriate. The track symbol will generally be gray and the superimposed lines black.

Appendix 9 A9-i 05/2007 Metric drawings

APPENDIX 9 METRIC DRAWINGS

The following information may be helpful should a PCJPB project ever involve metric drawings. Since paper space units are in millimeters in metric drawings, PCJPB AutoCAD files/blocks (for example, JPBBDR.dwg) must be scaled by a factor of 25.40 (there are 25.40 millimeters to the inch) when inserting or referencing them into the layouts of metric CADD files. Doing this converts their dimensions into millimeters. Sizing Text in Metric Drawings For any text size, multiply the desired height of plotted text by the appropriate scale factor given in the following table to get the corresponding text height in model space.

Scaling Views in Metric AutoCAD Drawings When scaling views in metric AutoCAD drawings, keep in mind that the paper space unit is millimeters and the model space unit is meters. Remembering this, scale factors are then easy to calculate. A couple of examples follow to illustrate. When using the zoom/scale command to scale detail in a viewport, AutoCAD asks for the desired ratio of paper space units to model space units, or:

Paper Space units / Model Space units xp For a scale of 1:100 using the zoom/scale command:

Paper Space units Model Space units

1:100

1 millimeter : 100 millimeters

1 mm : 0.10 m

1 / 1/10 xp

10 xp Or ten paper space units to one model space unit (10 millimeters to one meter.) For a scale of 1:2,000:

Paper Space units Model Space units

1:2,000

1 millimeter : 2,000 millimeters

1 mm : 2.000 m

1/2 xp Or one paper space unit to two model space units (1 millimeter to 2 meters.)

Appendix 10 A10-i 05/2007 PCJPB CADD Requirements for Signal Drawings

APPENDIX 10 PCJPB CADD REQUIREMENTS FOR SIGNAL

DRAWINGS GENERAL Signal CADD files are living documents that must be properly maintained to ensure the integrity of the signal system. Duplicate file copies increase the possibility of misleading or inaccurate drawings being distributed to construction or maintenance forces. Files shall not be duplicated without the authority of the Chief Engineer. Drawings shall be produced utilizing a MicroStation 2-dimensional format. Contractors shall adhere to the FORMAT REQUIREMENTS as indicated later in this document. Contractors shall reimburse PCJPB for all costs associated with correcting format discrepancies. Prior to beginning a signal design project, CADD files should be requested from: A general description of the project(s) shall be submitted to Southwest Signal Engineering (SWE) along with specific milepost limits. Along with the current CADD files, SWE shall furnish a border file (JPBBRDR.RFC), a cell library containing the symbols to be utilized on PCJPB drawings and any pertinent TYPICAL and/or REFERENCE files that are available. Borders and cells shall not be scaled up or down. Files shall be provided to the contractor on Colorado QIC-80 format tape, ZIP Drive (1GB) or floppy disk. Contractor should specify the various mediums available for use in transferring files. Upon Completion of the design, the contractor shall return the CADD files and an ll” x 17” hardcopy of each file to SWE. The contractor shall include an itemized list of the files returned. The list shall categorize files by NEW FILES, MODIFIED FILES and DELETED FILES. If the contractor is required to furnish AS-BUILT files, the contractor shall provide SWE with CADD files of drawings that are distributed for construction and then provide corrected CADD files upon completion of the project. Drawings, borders and cells shall not be scaled up or down. New cells shall not be created without proper authority. Where designs are created for “Bid Documents” the contractor’s border shall be “scaled” to equal the JPBBRDR.RFC border. The “X=out/0=in” convention shall be used on contract drawings. Contractor borders shall be “REFERENCED ATTACHED’ to facilitate removal. Construction drawings created for PCJPB maintenance forces shall utilize RED=IN/YELLOW=OUT color conventions. File names shall be 8-characters long followed by a 3-character extension. (EXAMPLE: PN029_20.C01 and PN029_20.M02 would be the file names for sheet 1 and sheet 2 of a location on the Peninsula Subdivision at Milepost 29.20.) The “C” in the file extension indicates that the drawing contains CONSTRUCTION elements; an “M” file extension


Appendix 10 A10-ii 05/2007 PCJPB CADD Requirements for Signal Drawings

indicates that the file is a MAINTENANCE plan; a “B” file extension indicates the file has “FIELD VERIFY” elements; and a “T” file extension indicates the file is temporary and will be deleted upon completion of construction. EXAMPLES: PN003_30.C09 Construction Drawing PN041_00.M04 Maintenance Drawing PN011_20.T03 Temporary Drawing PN021_00.B01 Field Verification Required FORMAT REQUIREMENTS The following drawing conventions shall be used on ALL signal design files:
