Revise and reorganize the technical chapters in conjunction with input from City staff. Evaluation of existing standard drawings to identify revisions to both content and format. Using COBI CAD standards, create AutoCAD drawings for each detail, a standard title block, and a modifiable drawing template for future use by COBI staff. Convert/standardize the existing drawing set with potential additions and deletions to the sheet set based on input from City staff, either utilizing existing standard details from other jurisdictions modified as necessary for Bainbridge Island or else creating new ones.Provide procedure and process to allow future revisions and updates to the technical text and drawing set.
