3.1 Overview

The title sheet is the first sheet of a plan set and it sets the format and style of

ODOT construction plans. In addition there are requirements that must be includ-

ed on the title sheet for federal funding.

Title sheet development begins with the name of the project. The official name of

a project is shown in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

The name in the STIP may contain abbreviations and may not contain the word

Section or Project at the end. The name in the STIP also follows capitalization

rules of American English. The project title is to match the STIP when spoken. For

example “RD.” and “ROAD” are spoken the same when read aloud. The format for

contract plans is all capital letters. Due to character limits, the words “Section” or

“Project” may be left off of the STIP name but must be included on the plans.

A “section” is defined as a continuous piece of roadway from one location to an-

other. A “project” is defined as a single or multiple spot locations.

Standard abbreviations are allowed to be used for space and appearance require-

ments with both the title sheet and the plan sheet title block. The name on the

title sheet and in the plan sheet title blocks must be exactly the same. If abbrevi-

ations are necessary, use the standard abbreviations shown in Chapter 7 of the

Contract Plans Manual (CPM). The following is a partial list of the more common

abbreviations:

3.2 Development (Cont.)

Always create both Sheet A01 and Sheet A02. The Index of Sheets and Standard

Drawing Nos. will be shown on Sheet A02, see Figure 3-3 (page 3-6).

On very large project, additional sheets will be required for the Index of Sheets

and standard drawing numbers but this is rare.

Keep in mind that some projects extend over considerable time and the infor-

mation shown on Title Sheet may change. Always review the title sheet to make

sure the names shown are current:

Oregon Transportation Commission

ODOT’s Chief Engineer

ODOT’s Chief Engineer (Acting ) *.

* There may also be an occasion where the ODOT Chief Engineer will not be

available to sign the title sheet and another person’s signature will need to

be used along with their title designation (i.e. Acting ).

Figure 3-1 Title Sheet Seed File

Do not add lines to this list on sht. A01. When standard drawing num-bers do not begin on sht. A02, edit the description of sht. A02 to re-move “& Std. Dwg. Nos.”

Use consultant block if plans prepared by consultant and move utility note to alternate location.

Title Sheet Process

Step 1 — Edit Place Holders

Edit the place holders on left side of the border for project Expenditure Account

(EA) number. Continue editing the file to reflect the project on which you are

working. In the main title sheet text, two individual lines have been allowed for

scope of work and project name, see Figure 3-1 (page 3-4).

The scope of work needs to follow the order shown in Figure 3-6 (below). Deter-

mine whether one or two lines will be needed. Use the number of lines required

and adjust to fit. Include major headings whenever those items appear in the

plans. Include minor headings only when that item is 10% or greater of the con-

struction dollar value of the project. The specification writer will help determine

the scope of work items. Add the project arrow to the state map at the upper right

corner, length of project, township & range, vicinity map, and project limits.

Figure 3-6 Title Sheet Scope of Work

ODOT TITLE SHEET SCOPE OF WORK

Use the 10 major headings below if the type of work is included in the project. Items

below each major heading are examples of work included in that major heading.

Use the minor headings only if that item itself makes up 10% or more of the con-

struction dollar value of the project.

Items listed on the title sheet are shown in the

“Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction” order.

The Federal Aid project number will be placed in the active file on sheet A01 in the

box marked project number. If no Federal Aid is included then the project number

shown is “STATE”.

Step 2 — Vicinity Map

The Federal Highway Administration Guidelines for Preparation of Plans, Specifica-

tions, and Estimates provides guidance to States for the title sheets used for pro-

jects financed with Federal-aid highway funds. The guideline for contract plans

title sheet indicates that a location sketch should be placed on the title sheet “with

sufficient identifying information so that the project may be easily located on a

county or State map”.

Detailed information will be provided for this step soon. Until then use the pro-

cess outlined by Engineering Applications Support Team (EAST)

Step 3 — Sheet Index

As information is supplied, you will be able to edit the title sheet with it. The big-

gest part of the title sheet editing will be the inclusion of the sheet index. The

sheet index has a prescribed order and needs to be followed, see Contract Plans

Manual (CPM) Chapter 2 for specific plan sheet order. If the sheets are not fol-

lowing this order, they should be referred back to the spec writer or project lead-

er. The sheet index provides the order that the plans will be printed and assem-

bled.

Select and copy the “Index of Sheets” box from the Cache. Match text symbology

to add text into the box. To increase the number of lines in the “Index of Sheet

Cont.” box, copy parallel the bottom line 15 feet, when using 1”-100’ scale. There

will rarely be more than two sheets for the title sheet section of the “A” series of

plan sheets. See Figure 3-4 (page 3-7) for index information cache.

Step 4 — Project Limits

For projects that are along a section of highway, the Beginning of the Project will

be the mainline centerline station at the start of full depth surfacing. Usually this

will be the lowest number in the stationing for the project. The End of the Project

will be the mainline centerline station at the end of the full depth surfacing and

usually the highest number in the stationing for the project. Surfacing tapers,

ramp surfacing, and incidental work is not included in the project limits. When

there is permanent incidental work such as signs or guardrail that is beyond pro-

ject’s mainline centerline station, use “Beginning of Contract” or “End of Contract”

and include the station for that work.

For projects at a single site or multiple site use “Project Site” and generally the sta-

tion at the center of the site. For project sites greater than ¼ mile in length show

the beginning and ending station limits of the site.

Where there are “No Work Areas” in a section, show the beginning and end sta-

tions of the “No Work Area”

The project limits on the section of highway helps Federal Highway Administration

(FHWA) identify the number lane miles of surfacing that they have funded. The

incidental work and surfacing tapers are not intended to be included in the lane

miles even though they are project costs.

Step 5 — Standard Drawings

Standard drawing numbers are listed after the index of sheets and listed in this

sequence:

1. RD numbered drawings

2. BR numbered drawings

3. TM numbered drawings

Standard drawing numbers have been set up as cache in the reference file

cache_tse.dgn and are copied and edited for the required drawing numbers and

sections. When listing the standard drawing numbers, list only the drawings ref-

erenced in the plan set. Additional references made to standard drawings from a

standard drawing are not listed. See Figure 3-3 (page 3-6) for an example.

3.2.1 Axiom Office Importer Method.

As an alternate method for getting the standard drawing list into the Title Sheet,

Excel files are developed that have all of the Oregon Standard Drawings ready for

selection.

3.2.1 Axiom Office Importer Method (Cont.)

The Standard Drawing List Master file is found in F:ODOT_DATA\USERCFG\data

folder for internal users and in the ODOT workspace for external users. The file

name format is date_Standard_Drawing_List.xlsx where “date” is the first day of

the effective date of the drawings. The file name 2018-06_Standard_Drawing_List

contains all of the Oregon Standard Drawings, by number and title, where the ef-

fective date begins June 1, 2018. Any project that is scheduled to be bid between

June 1, 2018 and the next file date would use this file for that specific project.

Copy the Master file into the project directory and name using the ProjectWise

naming tool.

There are five tabs at the bottom of the Excel file to note: The Instruction Sheet,

RD, BR, TM, and Axiom.

The Instruction Sheet tab includes some brief instructions for using the spread

sheet.

The RD, BR, TM tabs contain a list of standard drawings like this shown from the

RD tab:



3-15

Volume 1



By placing an “x” in the “required” column the selected drawing number and title

will appear in column “E” under the heading of “Selected Drawings”. The selected

drawing numbers and titles will also appear in the AXIOM tab, grouped together.

The Axiom tab will look like this when drawings are selected in the RD, BR, and/or

TM tabs:

In the MicroStation file, the AXIOM Office Importer is located under “ODOT” when

using the ODOT Workspace:

In the Excel file, select a group of drawings. This might be all of the drainage Or-

egon Standard Drawings in a numbered series such as all of the RD300s or all of



3-16

Volume 1



the TM800s. Generally there is a space between each series of drawings, for ex-

ample a space between the RD100 series and the RD200 series. By selecting these

groups of drawings, it is easier to control the amount of space. If there are just a

few standard drawing, less than 15, the space between the series can be omitted.

When this occurs, like the RD series shown below, select the whole RD series of

Oregon Standard Drawings.

Use the “Copy” command in Excel or the Ctrl+c key combination to copy the se-

lection to the clipboard.

In the MicroStation file, attach the reference file cache_tse.dgn and match the text

attributes of the standard drawing list.



3-17

Volume 1



Use the AXIOM Office Importer tool to place the selection inside of the MicroSta-

tion file.

Both methods, either copy the reference file cache text or the AXIOM Office Im-

porter, are acceptable methods for getting the list of Oregon Standard Drawings

into the title sheet index.

After the list of standard drawing numbers, the right of way map number(s) for the

project are listed. If there are no R/W impacts on the project, the notation of “No

R/W maps” is used.

3.3 Completion of the Title Sheet

Edits to the title sheets are required at each phase of the project. When the pro-

ject is at the final stage, edits to be made to the title sheet come from the specifi-

cations writer while they are compiling the completed project plan sheets. Final

Title Sheet PDFs are normally not created until the specification writer has received

all PDF plan sheets from all disciplines working on the project.

The drawing scale supplied in the seed_tse.dgn file should not be changed in the

project title sheet file or model. The drawing scale sets the print scale and the

print scale affects the relative distance between elements on the final PDF file.

3.4 V-Number

The V-number is a file number for the A-H, and Q-Z series plan sheets.

Local Agency projects that do not intersect or touch the state highway system do

not receive a V-number. Use “Local System” in the V-number location.

Near the end of project development, a V-number is assigned to the project. The

V-Number is requested by completing the 734-2623 MAPP Center Document

Number Request at the link below.

http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/ETA/Pages/Tools.aspx

Figure 3-11 Local System & V-Number examples

The V-number format is XXV-XXX

3.5 Additional “A” Series Plan Sheets

When a project has additional plan sheets in the “A” series, Layout sheets or Sur-

vey Data sheets, it is recommended that a second letter is used for each group of

plans. For example, Roadway layout sheets would use AA# sheet numbers, the

geotechnical layout sheets would use AB# sheet numbers, and Survey Data would

use AC# sheet numbers. Often in project development a sheet will get added or

dropped. Using an additional letter to group these additional “A” series plan sheet

will limit the number of sheets that are renumbered during the development of

the project. The additional letters are not fixed with the group, but dynamic with

the project.

3.6 Plan Sheet Layout

Following the index of plan sheets and the standard drawing list in the “A” series

of plan sheets is the Roadway plan sheet layout. This plan sheet occurs on more

complex projects where multiple alignments are shown and match lines are used.

The entire project area is shown with outlines of the various plan sheets are la-

beled. This gives the user a quick overview of the project and approximate plan

sheets numbering to view.

3.7 Geotechnical Layout

The Geotechnical Layout sheets are similar to the Roadway layout sheets giving an

overview of the whole project with references to specific sheet locations. These

layout sheets are created by the Geotechnical discipline and are placed in the “A”

series plan sheets.
