Once the catalog database is approved, the Vendor shall physically pickup or have shipped only as many sets of plans, drawings, or plats that can be scanned, quality control checked, and submitted in a weeks' time to their work site to begin the scanning. Any costs associated with this effort shall be included in the overall price per sheet for all work described herein. Each sheet, of each plan set, will be scanned at a minimum 300dpi. Some plan sheets or drawings may need to be scanned to a higher dpi to provide for a 95% clarity level of the images and all images are to be saved in a JPG and/or PDF ver 9.0 format using the following file convention: File Formats: Nxxxx(a)bbbdate.jpg/PDF Where Nxxx is the project number exactly as shown on each cover sheet(a)- represents the phase of the project exactly as shown on the cover sheet(bbb)- represent the title of each sheet (i.e. Cover sheet, Plan & Profile sheet, Typical Section sheet, Quantity Sheet, etc)(date)- represents the date which the scanned image was created (i.e. 01272010 is for January 27, 2010)(.jpg/PDF)- represents the two file formats the images must be created in Example: For Project: AU1(24-1)2&4 whose title sheet was scanned, the proper file name would be:AU1(24-1)2&4 TitleSht 01272010.jpg For Project: N35(9)2&4 whose typical cross section sheet was scanned, the final name will be: N35(9)2&4 TypSht 01272010.pdf For Project: N4(4-3)1,2&4 whose 3rd Plan and Profile sheet was scanned, the file names will be: N4(4-3)1,2&4 PPSht3 01272010.jpg Optionally, the Vendor can scan a complete set of plans for a given project and provide all drawings in one PDF file with bookmarks added to the file for each sheet within the set.

The Vendor shall put as many project sets on a CD as can be stored to save time and space. It is the responsibility of the Vendor to perform quality control review on each image to be sure at least 95% of the plan sheet detail can be clearly read before saving to the CDs. The vendor shall provide a sample scan of several of the worst plan sheets and submit them to the NRDOT Planning & Design Branch Chief to review and to direct the Vendor on adjustments in the dpi level and size of each file before full production begins.
