What the District Has to Deliver

GIS

  - The preferred deliverable
  - Set the coordinate system as State Plane Coordinate System of 1983.
  - Provide this information: FIN (FPID or Project Number), Location Description describing the project limits, and whether or not it is a LAP project (Local Agency Program).

 Provide this information in the attribute table (see below):

                       Shapefile -  Template (.ZIP file, 12 kb) 
                         or
                       Geodatabase -  Template (.ZIP file, 25 kb)

or

CADD

    - Submit just the file with the feature, not all the reference (alignment, etc.), and the Excel Spreadsheet.
    - Set the coordinate system as State Plane Coordinate System of 1983.
    - Put the XXXXXXX, and nothing else, on the "XXXXXXXXXX" level.
    - Provide this information: FIN (FPID or Project Number), Location Description describing the project limits, and whether or not it is a LAP project (Local Agency Program).

Provide this information in the spreadsheet (see below):

                       CADD and Excel Spreadsheet as email attachments:  Template (.ZIP file, 614 kb).

Submit the file

The Engineer of Record will check for the file(s) in the Final Projects folder and email it to: co-cimgis@dot.state.fl.us.  If attachments are more than 25 MB, then please send through the File Transfer Appliance (FTA).

Correct coordinate system, State Plane Coordinate System 1983
Feature is on the correct layer/level, XXXXXXXXXX
Matches the template
