SECTION 940 — AS-BUILT PLANS AND AS-BUILT SURVEY PLANS 900-113 — AS-BUILT PLANS AND AS-BUILT SURVEY PLANS
940.01 Description.
This work includes providing As-Built Plans, As-Built Survey Plans, and other related documents to the Department before acceptance. In the As-Built Plans, document any changes made to a highway asset during construction. Changes are defined as any relocation, addition, deletion, revision, or modification of the assets listed below. It also constitutes any asset that is not built in conformity with the construction Contract.

On the As -Built Plans, document any asset that the Engineer has determined is not built substantially in conformity with the lines, grades, cross sections, dimensions, and material requirements as required by the Contract. On the As -Built Survey Plans, document the surveyed location and elevation of any asset that has been identified as “not built in substantial conformity” on the As -Built Plan sheets and the specific surveyed locations and elevations required to be as -built as identified in the C ontract documents. For the As-Built Survey Plans, include the following information: • A note to reference the current Contract Plans, Plats, Shop Drawings, or other documents that affect the location or elevation of any as-built asset shown • A note to reference specific dates of as -built survey field work and the as -built task performed • A note to clearly identify the original survey control points provided for the Project and the remaining and new survey control points established for the As-Built Survey • A note to identify the horizontal and vertical datums and any significant discrepancies discovered regarding survey control • The Northing, Easting, Elevation, and Description of any survey control point used for locating assets • The surveyed location and elevation of any asset that has been identified as “not built in substantial conformity” on the As-Built Plans sheets • The specific surveyed locations and elevations required to be as -built as identified in the Contract documents • The base plan underlay for the As-Built Survey Plans should include the current approved Contract Plans showing the design location of features appropriate for the as-built assets being shown Document any changes made to the following assets.

940.03 Deliverables.
Submit the As-Built Plans and the As-Built Survey Plans as Shop Drawings. As-Built Plans. Submit As-Built Plans that document all changes made during construction. The As -Built Plans shall be signed and sealed by the Contractor’s Professional Engineer (PE) registered in the State of Rhode Island. Include t he Professional Engineer’s printed name, signature, and date of approval on each sheet. If all assets have been built in substantial conformity with the As -Bid Plan sheet, include a statement on the As-Built Plan sheet to clearly identify the conformity. Provide As-Built Plans that are red-lined PDF files in the same scale and content as the As -Bid Plans and formatted on 11- in. × 17-in. sheets. If, as determined by the Engineer, the changes cannot be clearly delineated on the existing drawings, clearly delineate all changes on 11- in. × 17-in. detail sheets, enlarged 200 percent from the reproductions. As-Built Survey Plans. Submit final paper and electronic (pdf) copies of certified As-Built Survey Plans and final AutoCAD drawing files with neatly organized layers and features that conform to current RIDOT CAD Standards. In the AutoCAD drawing file, include the point objects for all as -built assets and all survey control points used. The Contractor’s Professional Land Surveyor approved for the P roject must sign and seal each individual sheet of the As-Built Survey Plan. The PLS must be registered in the State of Rhode Island. Ensure that all work conforms to the Procedural and Technical Standards for the Practice of Professional Land Surveying in the State of Rhode Island.
