plot of the CAD file or as a photocopy reproduction of the original drawing, on vellum or mylar.
Identify the number of this amendment drawing with the number of the sheet it replaces plus the
suffix "R". Identify additional replacements of the same drawing as - "R2"-"R3", etc. Note the
revisions dates. Place the words "Amendment Drawing" above the Title block with a statement
of the original drawing which it supersedes.
(2) Give a drawing, which supersedes a portion of an original working drawing, a new number
in sequence with other drawing numbers. Place the notation "Amendment Drawing" above the
title block with a statement of the drawing number of the original drawing it modifies. Insert the
date of the amendment on the drawing. Place a cross reference note, on the superseded drawing,
calling attention to the amendments.
c. Change Order Construction Drawings. Give a drawing, which describes the work
involved in a "Change Order", a number in sequence with the original drawings. Place the
words "CHANGE ORDER" above the title block with a statement of the drawing that it modifies
or supersedes. Insert the date of the change order on the drawing. Place a cross-reference note
calling attention to the change order on the superseded or modified drawing. For reference prints
in Central Office or on the project site in the possession of the Resident Engineer, stamp
drawings with; "See Change Order Drawing No. _______, dated _______."

drawings, where feasible, with changes incorporated. These reproductions (or drawings) shall
retain original dates and drawing numbers with the suffix - "R", but the reissue date shall appear
in the Revision column.
(3) When some drawings only of an entire set are changed, the entire set shall retain original
dates and drawing numbers with the suffix "R" added; and the reissue date shall appear in
Revision column of the changed drawings only.
