Infrastructure Inspections

Record Drawing Submittals

Record Drawing submittals must be uploaded to GeoCivix for electronic review by the Infrastructure Inspections Manager, Infrastructure Inspector, Utility Specialists, and GIS staff. Upload the Record Drawing submittal as a New Project in GeoCivix. Include the following information for review on the first upload:

  • Record Drawings (Individual PDF Files)
  • Engineer’s Water Certification of Completion, if applicable
  • Engineer’s Sewer Certification of Completion, if applicable
  • Signed/Sealed Record Drawing Checklist (PDF)
  • After the Record Drawings have been reviewed, approved and digitally signed by Infrastructure Inspector and Manager an email will be sent from GeoCivix requesting the Engineer to upload the AutoCAD drawing for review.

Please allow three days for review of the Record Drawings by the Infrastructure Inspector and Manager and a three day review of the AutoCAD drawing by the GIS Technician.

The Record Drawing Checklist (PDF) has been revised to reflect this new process. Please apply the Record Drawing Certification (JPEG) (PDF) to each plan sheet before uploading the plans to GeoCivix.

Please see the Electronic Record Drawing Submittal Process (PDF) for more information and directions for GeoCivix.
