completion of construction and as-built drawings. For drafting and sheet preparation, the CHSTP
standard CADD production platform shall be Bentley’s MicroStation V8i (Select Series 1 or higher).
The CHSTP standard vertical design platform shall be Bentley’s Inroads Suite V8i. For additional
information regarding CADD software and subsequent computer systems requirements, see Section
1.2 of the CHSTP CADD Manual.
1.5 DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRONIC FILES

Electronic files for all CHST Project design drawings must conform to the following information and
developed with the following CADD best practices:
General
• Use only the “Default” model space. One model per DGN
• Use only CHSTP seed files to create master and sheet files
Master files
Master files typically contain proposed design information for the design elements of the project. This
file can include, but is not limited to features, such as track/road alignments, alignment labels, right-
of-way line, and construction features (retaining wall, guard rails, intrusion barriers, et al.). All master
files must follow the guidelines below:
• For master files that need to be geo-referenced, use correct seed file from the corresponding
State Plane Coordinates system.

Page 2
Contract drawings:
Contract drawings are sheet files that are specific to the project and contract. They contain items
such as callouts, notes, linework and symbology that define the items of work shown. Specific sheet
content, sample plans and checklists are contained in Section 2.5 and Appendix B and C of this
Manual.
1.6 ELECTRONIC DELIVERY PROCESS

Information regarding electronic submittals can be found in Section 1.3.7 of the CHSTP CADD
Manual.

Page 3
2.0 CONTRACT DRAWINGS

2.1 GENERAL PROCEDURES
Contract drawings must be clear and concise in indentifying all items of work that a contractor can
interpret and build. All items of work shall use dimensioning and labeling on plan, profile and detail
sheets to clearly indentify quantity items. This will ensure that the bidders and contractors are not
expected or need to scale quantity items from a hard copy print.
Contract drawings are supplemented by the CHSTP Standard and Directive Drawings. Do not include
the drawing of a standard detail as it is already shown on CHSTP Standard Drawings. For more
detailed information regarding the use of standard and directive drawings for CHSTP contract
drawings, see Section 2.6 of this Manual.
All contract drawings shall utilize the standardized Facility Naming Conventions as detailed in Section
3.0 of this Manual.
2.2 DRAFTING STANDARDS

General Drafting Standards to be followed for the creation of contract drawings:
 Lineweight and linestyles shall conform to Section 4.5 and Appendix G of the CHSTP CADD

Manual.
 Abbreviations and symbology shall conform to the CHSTP Acronyms and Abbreviations, and
Symbols Directive Drawings
 Text height shall conform to Section 4.3 of the CHSTP CADD Manual. Project requires the
use of uppercase characters for all text and dimensioning found within the contract drawings.
 The placement and rotation of text shall conform to Section 2.2.1 of this Manual. All project
plan notes shall be placed in the upper right hand corner of the sheet whenever possible to
allow consistency of all contract drawings. Topographical information shall be masked
underneath the notes to provide additional clarity for the information shown on the project
plan.
 Placement of text shall not interfere with other text, cross linework or dimensions. The use of
text mask is allowable and recommended whenever possible to provide additional clarity for
the information shown on the project plan.
 Sheet match lines shall be perpendicular to the alignment line. Alignment annotation shall be
clipped out if it interferes with the Matchline cell.
 Leaders and callouts shall be shown with arrowheads and straight leader lines to allow for
consistency of all contract drawings. The use of curved leaders is not allowable.

Page 4
2.2.1 TEXT ROTATION AND PLACEMENT

Text placement and rotation shall be consistent throughout all CHSTP contract drawings. To ensure
consistency is met, text placement and rotation shall be as shown below:

Text orientation shown with 5° of the vertical baseline is up to the discretion of the project plan
preparer. Be consistent on all contract drawings.

Page 5
2.3 U.S. CUSTOMARY UNITS
2.3.1 DIMENSIONS
The use of decimal feet versus feet and inches shall be based upon of the item of work. The following
parameters shall be followed for the various prepared CHTSP design drawings:
General Dimension Guidelines
 Civil plans, including track, grading, drainage and utility plans: Decimal feet
 Sections and details within civil plans: Feet and inches
 Structural, architectural, mechanical, traction power, overhead catenary, train control, track
work and electrical drawings, sections, and details: Feet and inches
 Dimension text shall always be parallel and above the dimension line
Specific Items of Work Values:

 Pavement structures and depths: Feet and Inches. When pavement depth is less than one
foot, the depth can be expressed in inches only (i.e., 6” AB).
 Formed concrete construction features (bridges, walls, drainage features, curbs, sidewalks,
etc.): Feet, inches and fractions of inches.

 Manufactured or fabricated items (generally): Feet, inches and fractions of inches.
 Surface cross slopes and superelevations: Percents, with the exception of sub-ballast cross
slopes which shall be presented as a ratio of 24:1
 Pipe / Ditch slopes: Shown as decimal value. (i.e., 0.005).
 Side slopes: Non-dimensional ratio with the horizontal component shown first and then the
vertical (X:Y). When the side slope becomes steeper than 1:1, the horizontal component is
shown as a fraction (i.e., ¾:1).
 Flares and tapers: Non-dimensional ratio with the longitudinal component shown first and
then the lateral offset component (i.e., 20:1, 15:1).
 All dimensions in feet, tenth of a foot or hundreds of a foot shall be shown with a universal
foot symbol (apostrophe) as a suffix. For dimensions less than one foot, a zero shall be
placed in front of the decimal (i.e., 0.25’).
 All dimensions in inches shall be shown with the universal inch symbol (quotation mark).
When the dimension is one foot or greater, a hyphen is placed to separate the foot and
inches values with no space before or after the hyphen (i.e., 1’-6”. When the dimension is
less than one foot, a zero or hyphen designation is not required to lead the inch value. (i.e.,
6”, not 0’-6”). Fractions of an inch shall be down as a stacked fraction (i.e., 10 ½”).
 Additionally, the CHTSP standard details shall be used as a guide to determine when
dimensioning standards shall be decimal feet or feet and inches.
For design drawings specifically prepared for state highway facilities, the standards set forth in
Section 2-1.3 U.S. Customary Units Standard in the Caltrans Plan Preparation Manual shall be
followed. See the link below:
http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/oppd/cadd/usta/ppman/2-1.pdf

Page 6
2.3.2 LOCATION OF CONSTRUCTION FEATURES (STATION / OFFSET)

All construction features shall be located using stationing and, as applicable to the item of work, offset
distances to an established station line. Offset distances from a station line shall include a foot
symbol suffix (apostrophe). Exceptions to the above standard are instances in which construction
items are located by post mile or from fixed objects.
2.3.3 ACCURACY / PRECISION

Accuracy to the nearest foot, tenth of a foot, or hundreds of a foot, is dependent on the located
construction feature.
 Elevations, distances and dimensions in decimal feet are provided to two decimal places.
Accompanying foot symbols are not required for spot elevation or datum elevations (i.e.,

Elevation: 654.54)
 Contour lines shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. No foot symbol is required.
 Horizontal coordinates (northings and eastings) are provided to three decimal places (i.e.,
2044643.712, 6016950.302).
 Bearings for all alignment geometry shall be expressed in degree, minutes and seconds with
the N (northing) prefix and E (easting) suffix (i.e., N 70°35'32.5” E).
 Angles shall also be shown in degrees, minutes and second (i.e., 48° 38’18”).
 Dimensions expressed in feet and inches shall be given to the nearest 1/8” or as appropriate.
(1-1¼”).
8
 For station/offset callouts, the accuracy shall match the examples shown below:
o Stationing: 180+45.15 / Offset: 74.15’ LT or RT
 All other quantities such as volume, weight, slope, et al., shall be expressed with an
appropriate level of precision.

Page 7
2.3.4 STATIONING
Stationing shall be based upon scale. For 50 scale or greater, stationing shall be based upon 100 foot
stationing with full annotation at 500’ stations. Annotation at 100 foot intervals shall be a half tick mark
only. 500’ interval shall show a full tick mark and station label. For scale less than 50 scale, stationing
shall be based upon 100 foot stationing with full annotation at 100’ stations. Annotation at 100 foot
intervals shall be shown as a full tick mark and station label.
Each station label shall have the subdivision code prefix. See Section 3.1.1 of this Manual for a
complete list of CHSTP subdivision code.
See examples shown below.

2.5.4 PROJECT PLAN FILE FORMAT

The drawing file format for the project shall be DGN only. Any file that is created in DWG or DXF
format must be converted into DGN using the correct seed files, levels and symbology. See Section
1.3.7 of the CHSTP CADD Manual for electronic copies deliverable information. See Section 2.10 of
the CHSTP CADD Manual for project seed file information. See Section 4.0 of the CHSTP CADD
Manual for level and symbology requirements.
2.6 USE OF STANDARD AND DIRECTIVE DRAWINGS

Standard and Directive Drawings supplement the contract drawings and assist in the design of the
contract work. Standard and Directive drawings are approved details and design guidance by the
Authority that are applicable to the construction of track, system, and civil facilities.
Standard and Directive Drawings are divided into categories by an alpha prefix and level 1 discipline
code. The file naming convention, which matches the drawing number, is shown below:
DRAWING TYPE DESIGNATOR SEQUENCE NUMBER
DD - CV - 0 0 1

LEVEL 1 DISCIPLINE CODE
Example:
Directive Drawings, Civil, Sequence number 001
Drawing Type Designator
DRAWING TYPE DESIGNATOR
DD - CV - 0 0 1
There are two drawing types – DD and SD. DD stands for Directive Drawing and SD stands for
Standard Drawing. See Section 1.3 of this Manual for more detailed definitions of the standard and
directive drawings.

Page 20
Level 1 Discipline Code
DD - CV - 0 0 1
LEVEL 1 DISCIPLINE CODE
The 3rd and 4th characters are the discipline codes. Most are inclusive of the discipline codes defined
in Appendix C of the CHSTP CADD Manual. The discipline codes for the standard and directive
drawings are as follows:
AR - Architecture
CD – Drainage
CO – Communications
CV – Civil
GE- General
IP – Intrusion Protection
OC – Overhead Contact System

ST – Structures
SY – Systems
TC – Train Control
TN – Tunnels
TP – Traction Power
TT – Track
UT – Utility
VS – Survey
Do not include the drawing of a standard detail in a drawing submittal as it is already shown on a
CHSTP Standard Drawing. The contract drawings need only to callout the name and drawing number
of the particular standard detail. Unsigned DGNs for the standard drawings shall be made available if
the standard detail needs to be modified and included in the plan set. Only the individual modified
detail, not the entire standard drawing itself, shall be included in the project plan. The contract
drawings containing individual modified details (s) from any CHSTP Standard Drawing shall be
signed by the licensed engineer designated on the project plan. If only minimal modifications are
made to the standard detail, show the modification only with a reference back to the applicable
standard drawings. Any modified details shown on contract drawings shall be labeled “MODIFIED” as
shown below

Page 21
3.0 FACILITY NAMING CONVENTIONS

The following facilities naming convention shall be used for Preliminary Engineering for Procurement
Design deliverables and all construction drawings. The naming convention provides consistency for
CHSTP facilities throughout the entire project. See Appendix A of this Manual for Facility Naming
Convention Summary Table
3.1.1 SUBDIVISIONS
It is standard U.S. railroads practice that large track systems are traditionally divided into manageable
sections called branches or subdivisions. This is vital in enabling the location of trains, physical plant
and assets, and to define right-of-way maintenance sections.
It is proposed that the CHSTP be apportioned into seven “subdivisions”. A single alpha character
shall used to identify each subdivision:
B Bay Subdivision – Extends from San Francisco to CP Divide

S Sierra Subdivision – Extends from CP Divide to Bakersfield
D Desert Subdivision – Extends from Bakersfield to Los Angeles

T Tongva Subdivision – Extends from Los Angeles to Anaheim
C Capitol Subdivision – Extends from CP Divide to Sacramento
J San Jacinto Subdivision – Extends from CP Inland Junction to San Diego
P Pacheco Subdivision – Extends from CP San Joaquin to CP Merced
3.1.2 MILEPOSTS
In accordance with the majority of U.S. railroads, the “initial” mile post (MP) on the system is
designated 0.0 beginning at the initial subdivision.
It is proposed that the CHSTP’s, Bay Subdivision begin at milepost 0.0 in San Francisco prefixed with
the initial letter designation of the subdivision where the milepost is located. It is further proposed that
all subsequent high-speed corridor extensions (links to Sacramento and San Diego) begin at the
milepost located at the junction where the extensions connect to the primary corridor “spine” of San
Francisco-Los Angeles-Anaheim, and increasing mileposts from North to South. Refer to Figure 1.

4.0 CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

4.1 CONSTRUCTION DRAWING SUBMITTALS
Construction drawings furnished by the contractor represent the post-preliminary design project
delivery, from proposed design through completion of construction. Construction drawings
submittals can be categorized into three (3) types – Design Submittal drawings, Ready for
Construction (RFC) and As-Built drawings. The below graphic indicates the construction drawing
workflow:
Construction Drawing Workflow
Design Submittals Ready for

(Nominal 60%, Construction As-Built
Nominal 90% & Submittals
Others (as needed) (RFC 100%)

4.1.1 CONSTRUCTION DRAWING SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
The CHSTP management team has established SharePoint and[VRuiz2] ProjectWise as its
primary electronic document managements system for construction drawings submittals. All
drawings submitted to the Authority shall be in the following formats:
 Design Submittals (Nominal 60%, Nominal 90% and Others): PDF
 Ready for Construction (RFC) Drawings: PDF and DGN
 As-Built: PDF and DGN
For hard copy and electronic “soft” copy deliverables requirements, see Section 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 of
the CHTSP CADD Manual.
4.1.2 SIGN AND SEAL REQUIREMENTS

Ready for Construction (RFC) drawings shall be signed and sealed by a licensed California
professional engineer. Sign and seal information shall be placed in the stamp area of the
titleblock, as indicated by Section 2.4.3 of this Manual.
4.2 AS-BUILT DRAWINGS

As-Built drawings are the original RFC drawings that have been updated showing changes that
occurred during the course of construction. As-built drawings are mandatory for accurately
recording the final field conditions at the completion of the contract.

Page 34
4.2.1 AS-BUILT DRAWING PROCEDURES

Any changes made during design in the form of contract change orders and/or field changes
according to his/her redlined field corrections shall be conformed into one record as-built drawing.
Revisions shall be made directly on the Ready for Construction (RFC) drawings in DGN format.
When completing the As-Built drawings, the following procedures shall be followed to incorporate
corrections:
 As-Built corrections shall be on Level 62 AsBuilt Chng
 Each As-built drawing must be clearly identified with an As-built stamp, as defined
in Section 4.2.2 of this Manual.
 Superseded information must remain legible and shall not be deleted. Instead,
denote changes by striking through the original information.
Strikethrough linework: LW=1, LV=62
 To differentiate the correction information from the contents shown on the RFC
drawings, text shall be larger than the original information and show in italics.
Correction text: TX=.175x, FT=3, LW=1, LV=62, Italics
 If any item(s) of work that was part of the RFC drawings is not constructed, the

item(s) must be crossed out and stated that it was not constructed
Correction text : TX=.175x, FT=3, LW=1, LV=62, Italics
 Any design change initiated by the contract change order must be indicated on the
As-Built drawings.

Page 35
 Best practice is to show all as-built changes on the original RFC drawings. If the
as-built changes cannot be clearly indicated on the RFC drawing, then a revised
drawing may be necessary in order to indicate the changes. A revised drawing is
an additional drawing with no new or additional work added. They may include the
entire RFC drawing or a portion of the sheet in greater detail for clarity purposes.
The signature and seal information of the original RFC drawings shall remain since
no new work is was added. Use revised drawings only when absolutely necessary.
Drawings must be labeled “REVISED” and a lower case “r” added to the drawings
number, as shown below.
TX=.20x, FT=43,
LW=0, LV=62
TX=.15x, FT=3,
LW=1, LV=62

If new or additional work is designed and constructed, additional drawings need to
be included in the as-built drawings. An additional drawing only indicates new or
additional work, not revisions. . All additional drawings generated during
construction shall update the signature and seal information to the resident
engineer in charge who initiated the new and additional drawings. Additional
drawings must be labeled “”ADDITION” and a lower case “a” are added to the
drawings number, as shown below.
TX=.20x, FT=43,
LW=0, LV=62
TX=.15x, FT=3,
LW=1, LV=62

Page 36
4.2.2 AS-BUILT STAMPS

Two different cells from the CHSTP cell library shall be used for developing as-built drawings.
Each as-built drawing must have one of the two stamps, including revised drawings and
additional drawings.
Cell = Asblt1
Use: As-built drawings with no corrections

Cell = Asblt2
Use: As-built drawings with corrections
4.3 THIRD PARTY DRAWINGS

All third party submittals shall be submitted in accordance of the local agency/company CADD
requirements and submittal process. In addition to the local agency/company submittal
requirements, PDFs shall be submitted to the Authority for all third party submittals.
