ARTICLE 11: ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
11.1
Scope. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided elsewhere in the Contract, the alternative
dispute resolution (“ADR”) process provided herein shall be the exclusive means for resolution of
claims or disputes arising under or related to the Contract, the interpretation thereof or the
performance or breach by any party thereto, including but not limited to original claims or disputes
asserted as cross claims, counterclaims, third party claims or claims for indemnity or subrogation,
in any threatened or ongoing litigation or arbitration with third parties, if such disputes involve
parties to contracts containing this ADR provision. No changes can be made to this process without
the mutual assent of the County and the claimant. The parties have structured this procedure with
the goal of providing for the prompt, efficient and final resolution of all disputes falling within the
purview of this ADR process.
11.2
Meeting of Principals. When a claim is made or a dispute (hereafter “dispute”) as described in
Paragraph 1.1 arises, senior representatives of the County and the claimant will meet personally
within ten (10) business days to discuss the dispute and attempt to resolve it. If, after good faith
efforts, resolution is not achieved, the dispute will proceed to mediation.
11.3
Qualifications of Mediator and Arbitrators. Any person selected as mediator or arbitrator, either as
single arbitrator as a member or Chair of the arbitration panel, shall be a member of the State Bar
of Arizona and have experience in construction law.
11.4
Mediation. If the parties have been unable to resolve the dispute after a meeting of principals, the
parties may enter into mediation. The parties shall jointly select a mediator. The parties may
mutually agree to waive mediation and proceed directly to arbitration. If the mediation process is
requested by either party, the mediation period shall be informal and shall not exceed sixty (60)
calendar days from the selection of the mediator. During the mediation process either party may
terminate mediation on written notice to the other party and the mediator.
11.5
Binding Arbitration Procedure. The following binding arbitration procedure shall serve as the
exclusive method to resolve a dispute if mediation is unsuccessful, if mediation has been waived
by the parties, or if a party requests arbitration during the mediation process. Except as provided
in Section 1.7.5 and 1.7.9, the decision of the arbitrator or arbitrator panel is final and binding on
the parties and not subject to further judicial review.
11.5.1 A party requesting binding arbitration shall notify the other party of their demand for
arbitration in writing within seven (7) calendar days of (1) the failure of mediation; (2) waiver
of mediation; or (3) of the party’s demand to terminate mediation.
11.5.2 If the Architect requests arbitration it shall post a cash bond with the arbitrator in an
amount agreed upon by the parties or, in the event of no agreement, the arbitrator shall
establish the amount of the cash bond to defray the cost of the arbitration and the proceeds
from the bond shall be allocated in accordance with paragraph 1.7.7. The bond must be
in the full amount agreed upon or as established by the Arbitrator to pay the potential cost
of the full arbitration proceeding. The bond must be posted with and received by the
arbitrator within five (5) calendar days after the demand for arbitration.

11.5.3 Disputes involving less than $200,000 shall be heard by one single arbitrator chosen by
agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the single arbitrator, then the
parties shall each submit two names to a Judge designated by Maricopa County who shall
select the single arbitrator.
11.5.4 For disputes in excess of $200,000, the arbitration panel shall consist of three arbitrators:
the County's appointed arbitrator, the Architect appointed arbitrator and a third arbitrator
who shall be selected by the parties' arbitrators and serve as the Chair of the arbitration
panel.
11.5.5 The arbitration is to be convened and administered under the Revised Uniform Arbitration
Act (“RUAA”) (A.R.S. § 12-3001 et seq.) and the American Arbitration Association
Construction Rules shall serve as a guideline for proceedings, thus as a supplement to the
RUAA.
11.6
Expedited Hearing. Any party can request the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel
to set an expedited hearing. If the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel determines
that the circumstances justify it, the single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel will arrange
for scheduling of the arbitration at the earliest possible date. In any event, the hearing of any
dispute not expedited will commence as soon as practical but in no event later than thirty (30)
calendar days after notification of request for arbitration having been received. This deadline can
be extended only with the consent of all the parties to the dispute, or by decision of the single
arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel upon a showing of good cause.
11.7
Procedure. The single arbitrator or the arbitration panel will conduct the hearing in such a manner
that will resolve disputes in a prompt, cost efficient manner giving regard to the rights of all parties.
Each party shall supply to the single arbitrator or arbitration panel a written pre-hearing statement
which shall contain a brief statement of the nature of the claim or defense, a list of witnesses and
exhibits, a brief description of the subject matter of the testimony of each witness who will be called
to testify, and an estimate as to the length of time that will be required for the arbitration hearing.
The single arbitrator or the Chair of the arbitration panel shall determine the nature and scope of
discovery, if any, and the manner of presentation of relevant evidence consistent with deadlines
provided herein, and the parties’ objective that disputes be resolved in a prompt and efficient
manner. No discovery may be had of any materials or information for which a privilege is
recognized by Arizona law. The single arbitrator or the Chair upon proper application shall issue
such orders as may be necessary and permissible under law to protect confidential, proprietary or
sensitive materials or information from public disclosure or other misuse. Any party may make
application to the Maricopa County Superior Court to have a protective order entered as may be
appropriate to confirm or enforce such orders of the Chair.
11.7.1 Hearing Days. In order to effectuate parties’ goals, the hearing once commenced, will
proceed from working day to working day until concluded, absent a showing of good cause.
11.7.2 Award. The single arbitrator shall within ten (10) calendar days of the conclusion of a
hearing issue an award. The arbitration panel shall, within ten (10) calendar days from the
conclusion of any hearing, by majority vote, issue its award. The award shall include an
allocation of fees and costs pursuant to 1.7.7 herein. The award is to be in accordance
with the Contract and the law of the State of Arizona.
11.7.3 Scope of Award. Regardless of the provisions of the RUAA, the arbitration panel shall be
without authority to award punitive damages, and any such punitive damage award shall
be void. If an award is made against any party in excess of one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000), exclusive of interest, arbitration fees, costs and attorneys’ fees, it shall be
supported by written findings of fact, conclusions of law and a statement as to how
damages were calculated.

11.7.4 Jurisdiction. The arbitration panel shall not be bound for jurisdictional purposes by the
amount asserted in any party’s claim, but shall conduct a preliminary hearing into the
question of jurisdiction over the claim as regards its amount upon application of any party
at the earliest convenient time, but not later than the commencement of the arbitration
hearing. If the dispute is determined to involve less than $200,000, the arbitration shall
continue before the Neutral Arbitrator as a single arbitrator, with the party appointed
arbitrators being excused.
11.7.5 Entry of Judgment. As provided in the RUAA, any party can make application to the
Maricopa County Superior Court for confirmation of an award, and for entry of judgment on
it.
11.7.6 Severance and Joinder. To reduce the possibility of inconsistent adjudications, the
Mediator or the single arbitrator or arbitration panel, may: (i) at the request of any party,
join and/or sever parties, and/or claims arising under other contracts containing this ADR
provision, and (ii) the Mediator, on his own authority, or the single arbitrator or arbitration
panel may, on its own authority, join or sever parties and/or claims subject to this ADR
process as deemed necessary for a just resolution of the dispute, consistent with the
parties’ goal of the prompt and efficient resolution of disputes, provided; however, that the
A/E, OWNER and Project Professionals shall not be joined as a party to any claim made
by an Architect. Nothing herein shall create the right by any party to assert claims against
another party not arising under or related to the Contract or not recognized under the
substantive law as applicable to the dispute. Neither the Mediator nor the single arbitrator
or arbitration panel is authorized to join to the proceeding parties not in privity with the
County. The Architect cannot be joined to any pending arbitration proceeding, without
Architect express written consent and unless Architect is given the opportunity to
participate in the selection of the single arbitrator or non-County appointed arbitrator.
11.7.7 Fees and Costs. Each party shall bear its own fees and costs in connection with any
informal hearing before the mediation. All fees and costs associated with any arbitration
before the single panel or arbitration panel, including without limitation the arbitrator fees,
and the prevailing party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and costs, will
be paid by the non-prevailing party, except as provided for herein. In the event that
Architect is the non-prevailing party, all fees and costs as noted above shall first be paid
out of the bond posted with the arbitrator. In no event shall the Architect obligation to pay
fees and costs be limited to the amount of the bond posted herein. In no event shall any
arbitrator’s hourly fees be awarded in an amount in excess of $250 per hour and (i) costs
shall not include any travel expenses in excess of mileage at the rate paid by Maricopa
County, not to exceed a one way trip of 150 miles, and (ii) all travel expenses, including
meals, shall be reimbursed pursuant to the travel policy of Maricopa County in effect at the
time of the hearing. The determination of prevailing and non-prevailing parties, and the
appropriate allocation of fees and costs, will be included in the award by the single arbitrator
or arbitration panel.
11.7.8 Confidentiality. Any proceeding initiated under this ADR provision shall be deemed
confidential to the maximum extent allowed by Arizona law and, except for disclosures to
a party’s attorneys or accountants, no party shall make any disclosure related to the
disputed matter or to the outcome of any proceeding except to the extent required by law,
or to seek interim equitable relief, or to enforce an agreement reached by the parties or an
award made hereunder. This provision does not affect the County’s right to inform the
County Supervisors of the dispute.
11.7.9 Equitable Litigation. Notwithstanding any other provision of ADR to the contrary, any party
can petition the Maricopa County Superior Court for interim equitable relief as may become
necessary to preserve the status quo and prevent immediate and irreparable harm to a
party or to the Project pending resolution of a dispute pursuant to ADR provided herein.
No court may order any permanent injunctive relief except as may be necessary to enforce
Maricopa County Library Distribution Center

DBB Professional Services Contract
Serial # 240004-ROQ
an order entered by the arbitration panel. The fees and costs incurred in connection with
any such equitable proceeding shall be determined and assessed in ADR.
11.7.10 Change Order. Any award in favor of the Architect against the County or in favor of the
County against the Architect shall be reduced to a Change Order and executed by the
parties in accordance with the award and the provisions of the Contract or a settlement
agreement as appropriate.
11.7.11 Merger and Bar. Any claim asserted pursuant to this ADR process shall be deemed to
include all claims, demands, and requests for compensation for costs and losses or other
relief, including the extension of the Contract performance period which reasonably should
or could have been brought against any party that was or could have been brought into
this ADR process, with respect to the subject claim. The arbitration panel shall apply legal
principles commonly known as merger and bar to deny any claim or claims against any
party regarding which claim or claims recovery has been sought or should have been
sought in a previously adjudicated claim for an alleged cost, loss, breach, error, or
omission.
11.8
Inclusion in Other Contracts. The Architect shall cooperate with the County in efforts to include this
ADR provision in all other Project contracts.

RE:
Maricopa County Library Distribution Central Sorting – Traffic Study
Dear Mr. Wadsack:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide traffic engineering services for the
subject project. This proposal has been prepared based on our understanding of the project and traffic
study requirements for City of Phoenix (City) in accordance with with the City’s Street Planning and
Design Guidelines Manual (July 2023 version). This is reflected in the Project Understanding and Scope
of Work sections. We look forward to partnering with your team for a successful project.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING:
This traffic study is in support of the proposed Maricopa County Library Distribution Center located on
the southwest corner of 27th Avenue and Durango Street adjacent to the Flood Control District of
Maricopa County office. The site is anticipated to have one access point.
PERMITTING AGENCY
The project is located in the City of Phoenix, the traffic study is therefore expected to be reviewed and
approved by the City of Phoenix. This traffic study will be prepared in accordance with the City’s
requirements.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
1.0
Traffic Impact Analysis
Dibble will prepare a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the Maricopa County Library Distribution
Center. Based the City of Phoenix Guidelines, it is anticipated this project will require a
Category I TIA at most. It is possible the proposed project will generate less than 100 trips. If
that is the case, a Traffic Statement may be required in place of a full TIA. This scope was
prepared under the assumption that Category I TIA will be required.
1.1
Pre-TIS Scoping Meetings
Dibble will meet with the City to confirm the scope of the traffic impact study prior to starting
the traffic study.
1.2
Traffic Data Collection
Dibble will use a qualified subconsultant under this contract to collect traffic and vehicular
classification counts within the project vicinity, as described below:
•
Two 24-hour, bi-directional counts on Durango Street & 27th Avenue which will
include:
o
Traffic Volumes
o
Vehicle Classification
o
Speed Data
•
Turning Movement Count collection for the morning and afternoon peak hours at three
intersections:
o
Morning Peak: 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM
o
Afternoon Peak: 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
2
If available, Dibble will incorporate existing traffic study information in the traffic analysis from
adjacent developments within the vicinity of the project.
1.3
Collect Background Information
Dibble will collect background information for roadways surrounding the site, including an
inventory of the existing roadway network, roadway characteristics, and readily available
traffic data. This will also include the planned improvements for the adjacent roadways or
improvements currently underway.
1.4
Stakeholder Consultation
Dibble will consult with the City to coordinate analysis findings throughout the traffic study
process. Two coordination meetings with each agency are anticipated throughout the traffic
study process in addition to the initial pre-TIS Scoping meetings included in Section 1.1.
1.5
Project Team Meetings
Dibble anticipates three meetings with the project team to kick off the project and to discuss
the traffic study results and any major items that will impact on-site and offsite design as it
relates to traffic. This includes preparation of exhibits or tabular information related to the
traffic study for meetings with the project team.
1.6
Traffic Study Approach and Assumptions
Dibble will evaluate what the potential traffic impacts of the project to the surrounding
roadway network might be and determine preliminary issues and considerations, if any, of the
City and the project team based on initial coordination with all parties prior to starting the
traffic study.
1.7
Trip Generation
Typically, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) 11th Edition Trip Generation Model
and the proposed land use, is used to calculate the trip generation for this proposed
development to estimate how much traffic is anticipated for the proposed site. This is a unique
land use however and there may not be a suitable option in the Trip Generation Manual. If
that is the case, Dibble will work with the permitting agency to determine a suitable trip
generation calculation for the project.
1.8
Trip Distribution & Assignment
Dibble will evaluate the surrounding population density and coordinate with the project team if
needed to determine where most of the vehicle trips will be coming from to arrive at the site
and determine the major travel corridors vehicles will use to arrive at the site. After
establishing major travel corridors, the turning movements vehicles are likely to make at the
intersections adjacent to the site will be estimated and applied to the trip generation
calculations to determine the anticipated trip assignment.
1.9
Report Graphics
Dibble will prepare report graphics that include adjacent streets and intersections near the
development, information on existing background traffic volumes, and assigned site generated
turning movement volumes based on this development’s impacts.
1.10
Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
Traffic signal warrants will be conducted at up to two intersections to determine if traffic
signals are warranted if requested by the permitting agencies. Traffic Signal Warrants will be
conducted per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (2009 Edition).
1.11
Capacity Analysis
Utilizing the data collected and information gained through previous tasks, Dibble will conduct
the capacity analysis at the following locations:
•
One Site driveway
3
•
27th Avenue & Durango Street
•
Durango Street & R C Esterbrooks Boulevard
•
27th Avenue & R C Esterbrooks Boulevard
The capacity analysis will be conducted for the anticipated background traffic volumes as well
as background traffic volumes with the anticipated project site traffic volumes for the following
horizon years:
•
Existing
•
Opening day
•
Horizon Year after opening day (3-5 years)
Dibble will use Synchro 11 software for the intersection capacity analysis.
The capacity analysis will be used to determine if any intersections have a turning movement
with a failing level of service, excessive vehicles queues, and if there is a need for any
additional turn lanes at the intersections due to vehicle delays. This includes the potential
need for left and/or right turn deceleration lane needs onto the site.
1.12
Turn Deceleration Lane Warrant Analysis
Dibble will conduct turn deceleration lane warrant analysis for all proposed site access points
City requirements where each guideline is applicable. This task will also include a vehicle
queuing analysis to determine if turn lanes need longer storage than typically required.
1.13
Crash History & Potential Crash Analysis
Dibble will review the crash database and crash potential to make determinations regarding
causations and patterns that may need to be addressed by this project. This will include
evaluating crash history and applicable posted speed limits with collected traffic data regarding
vehicle classification and speed. Consideration of potential mitigations and their applicability to
this proposed project will be presented.
1.14
Improvement/Mitigation Analysis
Based on the findings of the previous tasks, as well as coordination with the project team and
the City, Dibble will develop recommendations for improvements to help mitigate traffic
impacts or any access considerations.
1.15
Develop and Submit Preliminary Draft Report
Based on the work accomplished during prior tasks, a preliminary report will be prepared and
submitted to the project team for review and comment. All comments will be evaluated. Once
comments are resolved, the report will be submitted to the City for review. Comments that
relate to tasks within this scope of work will be incorporated into the report. Comments that
are considered out of scope will be discerned to determine what, if any, action will be
performed.
1.16
Comments on Report
As stated, received comments will be resolved and an initial determination on their status will
be made. Three basic initial determinations can be made on comments by Dibble. These
determinations are:
(1) Persuasive comments determined to be in scope and included in the original
estimate. These comments will be incorporated into the report via the effort estimated
for the prior task;
(2) Comments determined to be persuasive, but not in the original scope and/or will
require additional effort beyond the original estimate. These comments will be
subjected to additional discernment by Dibble and the client, prior to any additional
action on them. Outcome on comments like this could be to move them to another
comment determination (1 or 3) or to develop a change order to add scope and fee to
4
the original agreement; and
(3) Non-persuasive comments determined to be in this category will be dropped from
any further consideration.
If determined by Dibble to be necessary, a comment resolution and determination meeting will
be scheduled and held as a part of this task.
1.17
Finalize the Report
Based on the final determination of comments the report will be updated, finalized, and
resubmitted. Once this is done, unless amended in writing, the project will be considered
completed.
Responding to any additional comments on the final report or comments received after the
final report has been prepared or comments on non-scoped work items are not a part of this
scope of work and is anticipated to require a change order to this proposal.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Based on information provided, the proposed light industrial building will be an
approximately 22,500 square‐foot single‐story, slab‐on‐grade structure using frame and/or
masonry construction. Maximum wall and column loads are assumed to be 5 klf and 75
kips, respectively. We anticipate no extraordinary slab‐on‐grade criteria and that ground
floor level will be within a few feet of existing site grade. On‐site asphalt paved areas for
parking and driveways and rigid pavement sections for loading/unloading and dumpster
areas will be constructed. Any off‐site improvements have not been included as part of this
evaluation. The Client will notify WT should any of our information or assumptions not be
correct.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
3.1
Field Exploration
We will conduct the following subsurface exploration program that is based on the project
description and our knowledge of the general soil conditions in the area:
Building Area ‐
4 test borings to depths of approximately 15 to 20 feet below the
existing site grades.
Pavement Areas ‐
4 test borings to depths of approximately 5 feet below the existing
site grades.
All explorations will be advanced to the depths outlined unless refusal to auger drilling is
encountered. A field engineer or geologist will log the borings, record blow counts of
penetration tests, and obtain undisturbed and representative samples of soils
encountered as conditions dictate.
3.2
Laboratory Testing
A geotechnical engineer or geologist will examine the samples and field logs and assign
the laboratory tests. The following laboratory tests may be performed:
Field moisture content
In‐situ soil density
Maximum density‐optimum moisture relationship
Swell potential
Compression
Expansion index
Sieve analysis
Liquid Limit and Plasticity Index
Water soluble sulfate and chloride content
pH and minimum resistivity
3.3
Analyses and Report
We will prepare a geotechnical engineering report that includes a description of the
project, a discussion of the field and laboratory testing programs, a discussion of the
subsurface conditions, and design recommendations as required to satisfy the purpose
previously described.

SCHEDULE
We will proceed with geotechnical engineering services upon receipt of a signed contract
with an electronic (pdf) copy of our report submitted approximately 2 to 3 weeks after
completion of the fieldwork. If requested, verbal recommendations can be provided
before the written report is submitted. Please inform us if this schedule does not meet
your requirements.
5.0
ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions were made in preparation of this proposal:
A scaled site plan will be supplied by the Client
Any necessary permits will be provided by the Client
The site is accessible to two‐wheel drive vehicles
Groundwater will not be encountered
The proposed borings will be used for geotechnical exploration and sampling only. No
environmental information or data will be gathered or generated
We will contact Arizona811 prior to mobilizing to the site. This service marks only the primary
utility lines in the roadway and dedicated utility easements and usually does not locate
tributary lateral lines on private property. WT requires the Client to provide all necessary
information and drawings identifying the location of any underground lines or structures
that may be on the subject property. The cost of repair of unknown, unmarked, or
improperly marked utilities damaged during the work, subsequent loss of service, and
damage to WT equipment shall be borne by the Client. A private utility locator can be
retained if necessary and the costs of their services invoiced in addition to the fee quoted
herein.
WT assumes that the Client will obtain permission to enter onto the site for our drilling
equipment and personnel. Moving the drilling equipment around the site and drilling the
borings will leave some areas disturbed. While WT will try to limit site disturbance, our fee
does not include re‐landscaping or otherwise restoring the site to its original condition. WT’s
services will include backfilling the borings with the auger cuttings, unless otherwise directed
or required. Over time, some settlement of the backfilled material is normal and expected.
Please inform us if your requirements are any different.

Our fee includes discussion and interpretation of our findings with other members of the
design team, but does not include meetings concerning construction or changes in design.
If additional services are agreed upon, or we incur delays or costs associated with access
of our equipment to the boring locations, then the fee will increase accordingly. Unless
you sign this contract before expiration, the lump sum fee noted above is valid for 90
calendar days, after which time a review by WT will be required.

EXHIBIT ‘C’: Record Drawing Procedures
Introduction
These guidelines are issued to promote the development of electronic drawings suitable for use in the
Maricopa County Facilities Management Department CAD environment. Consistency and compatibility with
existing Maricopa County documents can only be achieved when these standards are strictly adhered to.
Electronic drawings produced and submitted in accordance with these standards have significantly greater
value to Maricopa County. Design Professionals (DP), their Sub-consultants, and Contractors delivering
documentation to Maricopa County must ensure these standards are reviewed, understood and followed
by those people responsible for preparing electronic drawings.
Renovations and Space Change Projects Requirements
For typical Renovation and Space Planning projects, the DP is responsible for submitting a complete set of
Construction Documents (CDs) to Maricopa County prior to the beginning of construction. Upon completion
of construction, Contractors are responsible for submitting complete As-Built documentation (per definitions
included in the Agreement Between The County of Maricopa, Arizona and Design Professional) to the
Owner (in both electronic and hardcopy formats) and DP is responsible for submitting the Record Drawings
to the Owner based on this As-Built documentation. Construction Documents and Record Drawings
submitted to the Owner need to adhere the criteria outlined in this document.
All “DWG” files and AutoCAD drawing entities submitted at the end of a project must be able to be
manipulated using standard AutoCAD drafting procedures. Non-compliance with this policy may result in
the rejection of AutoCAD files submitted at project closeout, in addition to delayed rendering of final project
payment. “DXF” files will not be accepted at project closeout as a substitution for “DWG” AutoCAD file
deliverables. Projects using Building Information Modeling (BIM) software are still required to
submit “DWG” formats for their projects.
Electronic File Format
CAD drawings must be submitted in full compliance with AutoCAD software 2007 drawing file format (file
extension = .DWG).
All Construction and Record Document project drawings must be submitted to Maricopa County Facilities
Management Department in all file formats listed below; other formats are not acceptable without the prior
consent of Maricopa County Facilities Management Department.
•
AutoCAD® 2007 or higher – DWG format only.
•
Adobe® PDF version 6.0 or higher.
Scale, Units, Coordinate System and Orientation
AutoCAD drawings should be drafted at full scale in architectural or engineering units, such that one
drawing unit equals one inch. The User Coordinate System (UCS) for all AutoCAD drawings should be set
to “World”.
Tolerances
When projects require creation of new AutoCAD floor plans from field measurements, exterior building
dimensions should reconcile to within one (1) inch of actual building dimensions as measured in the field.
Interior building dimensions must reconcile to within half (1/2) inch of actual field dimensions. However,
individual project requirements may vary. Please confirm requirements with the Project Manager
designated by Maricopa County.

Blocks
The following rules must be employed when handling block entities:
1. All entities within a block must be created on layer 0.
2. Drawing entities translated into AutoCAD blocks from non-AutoCAD systems must revert to
layer 0 when exploded within AutoCAD.
Policy on External Reference Files (XREFs)
Maricopa County will not accept the submission of any AutoCAD drawing deliverable which contains
unbound references to external source drawing files. All externally referenced data sources that were used
during the AutoCAD drawing production phase should be incorporated as a block within a single drawing
file, including the title block and all identifying information visible in the printed image, upon project
completion and prior to submission to Maricopa County. Layers contained in XREF’s inserted as blocks
should conform to Maricopa County guidelines. The resulting self-contained drawing file is an acceptable
deliverable to Maricopa County.
Owner Supplied CAD Files
Prior to commencement of design and construction services, Maricopa County will provide past Record
Drawings in AutoCAD per the Contract Agreement that can be used as the background for space
documentation projects. These have been generated using a variety of methods and may require field
verification. When no pre-existing Record Drawings in AutoCAD are available, consultants will be required
to produce drawings entirely from field measurements. AutoCAD files are transmitted for the convenience
and expediency of the DP, their Sub-consultants and the Contractor but bear no implicit or explicit
guarantee of accuracy, reliability or correctness”. It is recommended to all recipients of Owner-supplied
drawing files to perform their own verifications as necessary to develop drawings for each phase of the
project.
Layers for CAD Files
All AutoCAD Files shall include but not be limited to the following building features that define the physical
boundaries necessary to define space, such as: 1) exterior walls; 2) vertical elevations & sections; 3) details;
4) schedules; 5) doors; 6) glazing; 7) elevator shafts; 8) stair wells and other changes in floor elevation; 9)
built-in furniture and/or modular systems. The DP, their Sub-consultants and the Contractor shall adhere to
these layer standards as much as possible, although additional layers, conforming to standard formats,
may be necessary, while some layers may not be applicable to every space documentation project
(furniture, roof lines, etc.).
AutoCAD layers should be named in accordance with the latest U.S. National CAD Standard (NCS) which
can be obtained from the National Institute of Building Sciences. Custom layers added by Maricopa County
begin with MC-. The specific name of custom layers may vary slightly by Maricopa County owner.
AIA CAD Layer Guidelines
See U.S. National CAD Standard Version 3 (attached).
USE OF BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM)
Although projects may utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for conveying three-dimensional design,
two-dimensional deliverables are still required as outlined in this guideline and as specified in Maricopa
County Agreements with the DP, their Sub-consultants and Contractors.
