This site contains the official standards for drawing and document management systems(DDMS), computer assisted drawing and design (CADD), geographical information systems (GIS), and LAWA Restroom Design Guidelines at Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA). These standards apply to all data and drawings that will be shared among the various LAWA bureaus for work performed by LAWA staff,contractors, and tenants.

The purpose of this standards document is to establish requirements and procedures for preparing DDMS, CADD, and GIS submittals to LAWA. Submittals prepared according to these standardswill promote the exchange of information between consultants during the design phase of a project; allow for efficient dissemination of design modifications during construction; and will help maintain an efficient information system for master planning, facility management, andmaintenance.

The goal of these standards is to maintain quality data. All users, including LAWA personnel,contractors, and tenants (airlines), are responsible for performing quality assurance/qualitycontrol (QA/QC) procedures to assure that they and their subcontractors adhere to thesestandards. All data and drawings submitted to LAWA for approval, either by contract or permit,shall conform to these standards. Drawings and data that are not submitted in accordance with these standards will be deemed incomplete. Contractual obligations will be met after all required submittals have been reviewed and approved by LAWA.

Standards for programming or application development projects are not addressed in this document.
