Pilot Project Specific Highlights: New Memo Released
For KYTC’s DPD Pilot Program, an exciting and programmatic change was implemented on June 3, 2024, through the transmission of a new Design Memorandum, titled "Project Model Submittal – Check Prints." The memo focused on developing methods and workflows to better deliver 3D data. KYTC has understood the value of delivering a 3D model with final plans for many years. While the model has been built and submitted for years, it has rarely been utilized to its full potential. The construction industry has consistently asked for more precise and consistent models to be delivered with plans.
Starting at the end of the calendar Year, all Electronic Engineering Data Folders shall be included at the Check Print Submittal. This new requirement will allow for the initiation of model review prior to final submittal. At this point, the 3D model will remain supplemental data and the pdf is still the legal document. A model-review checklist, detailed below, will be used as a discussion point to ensure future expectations will be met. The Final Model Checklist ensures that the proper design intent is conveyed throughout project development and provides guidelines for those reviewing the model. Lastly, KYTC understands that these items below are fluid and in the future may become more clearly defined. [07.02.24]
