4.0 Design Drawings – Additional Requirements for Private Developer Projects
5.0 Minimum As-built Drawing Requirements
6.0 Minimum Record Drawing Requirements
This document describes the minimum format and content requirements for Broward County
Water and Wastewater Services (WWS) to accept design, as-built, and record drawings. These
requirements apply to both Capital and Private Developer Projects. This document does not
describe design standards, and does not relieve the Engineer of Record (EOR) of their
responsibility to comply with all State and Local regulations. This document does not describe
drawing requirements for every situation, and some requirements may not apply in every case.
It is the responsibility of the EOR to verify WWS acceptance of non-compliance with these
requirements ahead of time for a given situation.

1.0 STATE PLANE COORDINATES
State plane coordinates shall be supplied for the Design and Record drawing submittals:
1. As used in this document, the term ‘coordinate’ or ‘coordinates’ mean northing and
easting values in the NAD_1983_HARN_StatePlane_Florida_East_FIPS_0901 (US
Feet) horizontal datum. All horizontal coordinates shall be sub-foot accuracy and labeled
to a precision of the nearest tenth of a foot. WWS, sometimes with the help of the
County Surveyor, does check the coordinates. To support checking of the coordinates,
WWS may request the submittal of a metadata report that addresses the following:
a. Identify control points used to establish the project coordinates.
b. Provide full backup information regarding the source of the control point
coordinate data and their coordinates. If the source control point coordinate
datum/projection differs from the project coordinate datum/projection, then
provide coordinates for the control points in both the source datum/projection and
in the project datum/projection. Indicate the method and/or software/version
utilized to make the conversion.
c. Describe the method used to establish the project coordinates.
d. Indicate the estimated accuracy of the project coordinates.
2. All elevations shall be based on the NAVD88 (US Ft) vertical datum.

6.0 MINIMUM RECORD DRAWING REQUIREMENTS
Record drawings are different than as-built drawings. As used in this document, the term
‘record drawing’ refers to the final drawing set signed and sealed by the EOR. The EOR shall
prepare or have prepared record drawings based on as-built information provided by a PSM and
from information provided by the EOR’s staff. The EOR shall retain the signed and sealed ‘as-
built’ drawings provided by the PSM with the other project records for possible review by WWS
upon request. The amount of information required on record drawings will require the drawing
author to organize its presentation so that the drawings are clearly legible. At times, it may be
necessary to place water and wastewater information on separate drawing sheets and/or use
blow-up detail views.
At the EOR’s option, the PSM can prepare record drawings in lieu of as-builts. If using this
option the EOR must coordinate with the PSM so the record drawings contain information
provided by the EOR’s staff. The drawings will be reviewed by WWS staff for any deficiencies.
Deficiencies will be indicated on one (1) set of plans which will be returned to the EOR for
necessary corrective action.
Record drawings shall contain the “M
INIMUM AS-BUILT DRAWING REQUIREMENTS” from Section
5.0 plus the following additional requirements:
1. Submittals:
Six (6) sets of plans shall be submitted by the EOR to WWS for review prior to
scheduling inspections including, but not limited to, pressure tests, sanitary sewer
lamping, or any other element of the system which is determined necessary by WWS.
The drawings shall have been reviewed by the EOR for any deficiencies
2. Record drawings shall be a complete set including cover sheet with the WWS provided
drawing number, index, details, and any other sheets as included in the approved design
set. BCWWS may request to append the as-built drawings to the final record drawing set.
