Record Drawings are required for all plans approved for construction as part of a Civil Construction Permit. RECORD DRAWING SUBMITTAL AND ACCEPTANCE PROCESS 1. Initial Submittal: The Applicant submits a digital (PDF) set of Record Drawings to the Development Engineer assigned to the project for preliminary screening. 2. Preliminary Review: The Development Engineer reviews the Record Drawings with the Public Works Inspector. Allow up to three (3) business days for this review. 3. Preliminary Response: The Development Engineer notifies the Applicant either that: a. A hard copy may now be submitted, or b. Revisions are required before hard copy submittal. 4. (If Revisions Are Required) Resubmittal of Digital Drawings: The Applicant revises the digital Record Drawings and resubmits them to the Development Engineer. The revised set is re-reviewed by the Project Manager and Public Works Inspector. 5. Hard Copy Submittal: Once approved for hard copy submittal, the Applicant provides one (1) hard set of Record Drawings to the Development Engineer. 6. Comprehensive Review & Walkthrough: The Development Engineer, Current Planner, and Construction Engineering Inspector review the hard copy Record Drawings. The Current Planner and Inspector conduct a field walkthrough with the Contractor to verify constructed improvements. Note: Walkthroughs must be coordinated directly by the Contractor with the Construction Engineering Inspector. Timing depends on completion of all permitted improvements and may take several weeks. 4. Final Review Comments: The Development Engineer consolidates and provides all remaining comments from City reviewers to the Applicant. 5. Final Revisions: The Applicant incorporates all final comments into the Record Drawings. 6. Final Submittal: The Applicant submits the final PDF and CAD files of the Record Drawings to the Development Engineer. The Engineering Plans are to be revised to show accurate locations of storm, sewer, water mains, other water appurtenances, structures, conduits, power poles, light standards, vaults, width of streets, sidewalks, landscaping areas, building footprints, temporary shoring wall/soil anchors, channelization and pavement markings, property lines, easements, etc. The record drawings will meet the following minimum requirements. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. “As-built” (post-construction survey) conditions shall be documented during the construction of the project and Record Drawings shall be provided to the City at the completion of the project. 2. All improvements must be located and documented both horizontally to within one-tenth of a foot (0.1') and vertically to within one-hundredth of a foot (0.01') by a radial survey or by a station offset survey. rentonwa.gov/permitservices | developmentengineering@rentonwa.gov | 425-430-7240 6/27/2025 | Page 2 of 4 RECORD DRAWING PROCESS AND REQUIREMENTS 3. The As-Built Survey must be based on the same baseline or control survey used for the construction staking survey for the improvements. 4. All survey work shall be performed under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Surveyor. 5. All subsurface improvements shall be surveyed prior to backfilling. Close cooperation between the installing contractor and the Surveyor is therefore required. 6. Dimensions from ROW centerline for utility features in the public ROW, or from property line for utility features located within easements, shall be recorded. 7. As-built information shall be documented on plan and profile views of the Engineering Plans. The profile view shall note any changes from the design finished grade over each utility. 8. Items not built shall be crossed out. Changes to design attributes (e.g., elevations, pipe lengths) shall have a strikethrough or be crossed out and relabeled in bold font. 9. Asset ownership changes (e.g., City-owned to Private or other agency and vice-versa) shall be clearly noted. Easement boundaries and recording numbers shall be recorded if obtained. 10. Record Drawings shall be prepared, stamped, and signed by a Professional Engineer or Professional Land Surveyor Licensed in the State of Washington. 11. All plans showing as-built information in the Record Drawings and the cover sheet of the Record Drawings shall include a stamp that indicates that the plan sheet contains as-built information. The stamp shall read: “Record Drawing: The information on this drawing indicates changes made to the construction documents based upon utility as-built survey performed by ___________________, dated _____________, and transferred to the reproducible drawings by the engineer.” 12. Record Drawings shall include as-built plans for all the utilities and street items specified later in this Section. Plans showing as-built information can be swapped for the original permitted plan in the larger Record Drawing plan set if the applicant does not wish to submit as-built plans for all drawings included in the approved set of civil construction plans. The Record Drawing plan set shall include a full set of plans. Record Drawing submittals that do not include the full plan set are not acceptable. 13. Minor location and elevation adjustments for permitted improvements can be shown using plan callout updates. Any minor updates shown using plan callout updates shall show the original plan callout with a strikethrough. 14. Major location and elevation adjustments for permitted improvements should be shown in the as-built location in the Record Drawing plans and Record Drawing CAD. All plan callouts should be updated to indicate the as-built location. 15. If the Applicant has any question if the adjustment shown on the Record Drawings is minor or major, contact the Development Engineer assigned to the project. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS STORM UTILITY 1.
