HomeMy WebLinkAbout2021-02-23 PB Minutes CommentsCOMMENTS ON THE SSC II AND SSC III DRAWING SUBMITTALS
FROM THE VERY START OF THIS PROJECT THE DRAWING SUBMITTALS HAVE
BEEN INCORRECTLY DONE WITH REGARD TO STANDARD DRAFTING PRACTICE
AND THE LATEST SUBMITTALS CONTINUE THE CONFUSION.
STANDARD PRACTICE IS FOR EACH DRAWING TO HAVE ITS OWN REVISION BOX
SHOWING THE REVISIONS SPECIFIC TO THAT DRAWING.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE CONFUSION:
REFERENCE CVII-101 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROLS PLAN
THE PREVIOUS REVISION IDENTIFIED AS 5 WAS FOR REVISED TREE PLANTING
DETAIL. THE FIELD OF THE DRAWING DOES NOT SHOW ANY TREE PLANTING
DETAILS NOR SHOULD IT SINCE THE DRAWING IS TITLED EROSION AND
SEDIMENT CONTROLS PLAN.
THE LATEST REVISION FOR THIS DRAWING CALLS OUT THE LATEST REVISION AS
7 ADDED GRADING LIMITS AND ADDITIONAL SILT FENCING. THE ADDITIONAL SILT
FENCING IS SHOWN BUT WITHOUT ANY SYMBOL IDENTIFYING IT AS REVISION 7
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF ALMOST CORRECT:
REFERENCE CVII-200 SITE PLAN
THE NEW SUBMITTAL SHOWS THE NUMBER 6 REVISION FOR THE REVISED VIEW
SCREENING. THE FIELD OF THE DRAWING SHOWS THE VIEW SCREENING WITH
BALLOONING AND A NOTATION THAT IT IS REVISION 6. THE REVISION BOX LISTS
REVISION 7 FOR THE SILT FENCING, WHICH IS NOT, THE SUBJECT OF THIS
PARTICULAR DRAWING AND IT CORRECTLY DOES NOT SHOW THE ADDITIONAL
SILT FENCING.
MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE FOLLOWING DRAWING CONTROL
PROCEDURE BE INSTITUTED.
THE REVISION BOX SHOULD SHOW ONLY THE REVISIONS TO THE SUBJECT OF
THE SAID DRAWING ONLY AND NOT REVISIONS OF OTHER PROJECT FEATURES
NOT DEPICTED IN SAID DRAWING.
IN SIMPLE TERMS WHEN I LOOK AT A DRAWING INCLUDING THE REVISION BOX I
WANT TO SEE ONLY THE REVISIONS MADE TO THE FEATURES SHOWN ON THAT
DRAWING. HAVING THE REVISION BOX BE THE SAME FOR ALL DRAWINGS IS
CONFUSING AND NOT STANDARD PRACTICE.
