Description

This document establishes standards for consultant deliverables related to Alberta Parks and Protected Areas design and construction programs. Consultant agreements for architectural, engineering and related services typically require the production and submission to Alberta Parks and Protected Areas of 'deliverables' in the form of drawings, specifications, reports, schedules, etc. To take advantage of the significant efficiencies afforded through the distribution, use, and storage of these documents in electronic form, by multiple users, and throughout the project life cycle, it has become necessary to establish standards for these documents. As a prime example, making bid documents (drawings, specifications and addenda) available to bidders electronically in a consistent format would be extremely difficult to accomplish without standards for consultant deliverables.
