and existing conditions while reducing design costs (e.g., demolition or repair).
9. STANDARD COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND DRAFTING DETAILS.
a. Computer-Aided Design and Drafting Reference Files. Currently, the Tri-Service
CADD/GIS Technology Center is sponsoring an initiative to prepare and maintain active
reference files and generic details. The center is located at the USACE Waterways Experiment
Station, ATTN: CEWES-IM-DA, 3909 Halls Ferry Road, Vicksburg, MS 39180-6199. District
commands are encouraged to utilize the generic details available through CEWES-IM-DA.
Completed BUP designs (hard copy), with lessons-learned, will be filtered through HQUSACE
CEMP-EA (see Chapter 2, paragraph 13 of this AEI).
b. Tri-Service Center, Architectural, Engineering and Construction Computer-Aided
Design and Drafting Standards (EC 25-1-243). This manual sets standards that provide a
consistent and compatible platform for CADD system use throughout USACE. The uniform
CADD platform provides a means for rapid and accurate transfer and integration of most project-
related information throughout the life cycle of the facility, regardless of the CADD system used.
Included in the manual are graphic standards, discipline specific cell libraries, description of
deliverables, and data exchange formats. This manual is applicable to all HQUSACE elements,
MSC and design agencies, and should be used to the maximum extent practicable under the BUP
process. Additionally, it is critically important that the CADD products produced are compatible
with the installations' CADD needs, systems, and standards.
c. Design Agency Standard Details.
(1) Each design agency is encouraged to use appropriate details already developed by
CESWF, however, they may develop a standard set of details, unique to that design agency, that
could be used with BUP contracts. Design agencies are encouraged to share their BUP
standard details with other design agencies and HQUSACE (CEMP-EA).
(2) The standard details should be stored in CADD or PC format for ease of usage. A
method for obtaining CADD or PC details should be included in the SOW for A-E contractors.
The SOW should include submittal of details that the A-E developed during a design contract.
10. SPECIAL STUDIES (if applicable). When using the BUP process, the number and extent
of special studies should be kept to an absolute minimum.
