All drawings shall be delivered 100% AutoCAD DWG format and 100% editable, but at the consultant's discretion, may be submitted in an un-editable media like CD-ROM. Both Digital and Hard Copy documents shall match. Record drawing items must match their true location.
Survey
Topographic surveys shall be delivered in NAD 83 Idaho State Plane west zone coordinates modified to the Ada County Local GIS Coordinates (Horizontal), NAVD 88 (vertical). Both Horizontal and Vertical information must be accounted for.

Item Formatting
Use thinner line weights and lighter colors for existing items. Lines must connect, and if part of a polygon, snapped closed. Use blocks provided in the template drawing for points. Please refer to sample drawing. In AutoCAD terminology, a closed line is a polygon.
Appendix A: Company Templates
Company templates were added to the Public Works AutoCAD standard to allow companies that already have a design standard in place to continue to use that standard, provided that the necessary information is present and can be extracted. If your company does not have a standard in place, the Public Works Department has created a template that follows this guideline to help your company comply with the standards more easily. We encourage you to take advantage of these resources.
The Meridian Public Works Department will make every attempt to use your company’s existing standard. However, there are several requirements that must be met and may require a change in your company’s template. These are outlined below:
- File Names must define project and status in planning process
- Items of different types/size must be discernable from each other
- Sewer lines broken out by size
- Survey Projection must conform to location of project
- Correct UTM Zone for Ada County
- Lines must be snapped and closed and solid
- No text breaking up the line
- This is for water and sewer modeling purposes
Company standard must be compatible with the Public Works GIS Processing. The above guidelines will help your standard complete the standards approval process more easily. Remember your company standard must be pre-approved before drawings will be accepted. If your company has not completed the pre-approval process all drawings must comply with the Meridian Public Works AutoCAD standards in order for drawings to be accepted.
