Seethe FDOT Building Facilities Design Manual Topic No. 625-020-016 for requirements of architectural designs and building related engineering systems. The Building Facilities Design Manual describes FDOT guidelines and requirements for providing professional Architectural/Engineering (A/E) consulting services for building facility projects.  \nArchitectural Plans are developed as stand-alone building projects or as a component set of plans.  \n945.2 Definitions  \nBuilding: That portion of the project within the footprint of a structure designed for human occupancy or use. Where project facilities, systems, or components cross this delineation, logical break points will be used for the following:  \n• A sidewalk leading to the 'building'—the delineation would be where the sidewalk contacts the structure.  \n• Fencing or exterior walls—the delineation would be where the fence or wall abuts the structure.  \n• Waste piping—the delineation would be the cleanout.  \n• Water piping—the delineation would be the main valve; etc.  \n“Building” DOES include building-related facilities and components, generally within 5 feet of the building perimeter including the following:  \no Roof overhangs, including projected awnings, porticos, canopies, etc.  \no Pad-mounted electrical transformers adjacent to and servicing the structure.  \no Appurtenant structures designed for materials storage or housing equipment (generators, lawn maintenance, etc.) or other similar uses.  \no “Building” systems and components including structural, electrical, mechanical, etc.  \n“Building” DOES NOT include:  \no A tender house on a moveable bridge--this is part of the bridge structure.  \no Water or wastewater treatment facilities -- these are site/civil/mechanical facilities.  \no Landscape architecture--these are site/civil materials.  \n945.3 Construction Cost Estimate  \nInclude a Construction Cost Estimate (typically an Excel spreadsheet) at each phase submittal beginning with 2.6 Design Development -Phase III (as defined in the Building Facilities Design Manual) . The estimate provides the cost for all architectural improvements including building engineering systems and FFE included in the project scope that is not listed as Not In Scope (N. I.C.) or by others.  \nDo not include the cost estimate in the construction contract documents. It is intended solely for use by the Department.  \n945.4 Key Sheet and Signature Sheet  \nFollow the same requirements contained in FDM 910 for the development of a Key Sheet and Signature Sheet.  \nThe Key Sheet is the first sheet of the Architectural Plans set. The Signature Sheet, when required, is placed behind the Key Sheet. However, individual signed and sealed sheets by the design professional of record is becoming a common requirement for building permit review applications using electronic signatures. These sheets are created using the FDOT CADD Software.  \nArchitectural Plans may require insertion of sheets that were prepared early or prior to the design process. See FDM 910.2.6.1 for instructions on including these early works sheets.  \nFor standalone architectural projects, include the list of Contract Plans Components even if the Architectural Plans set is the only component.  \nAssemble the Architectural Plans in the following order:  \nIndex of Architectural Plans  \n(1) Key Sheet  \n(2) Index of Drawings (if required in addition to Key Sheet)  \n(3) Signature Sheet  \n(4) General Notes Sheet  \n(5) Civil Sheets (if included on an architectural stand-alone project)  \n(6) Landscape Sheets (if included on an architectural stand-alone project)  \n(7) Structural Sheets  \n(8) Architectural Sheets  \na. Abbreviations & Legends  \nb. Life Safety Plan  \nc. Typical ADA Requirements (if included)  \nd. Floor Plan(s)  \ne. Reflected Ceiling Plan(s)  \nf. Roof Plan(s)  \ng. Exterior Elevations  \nh.
