See Figures 4-1a and 4-1b. Figure 4-1A Title Sheet Identification Format for Consultant Designed Construction TDOT - ROADWAY DESIGN GUIDELINES English Revised: 08/01/19 4-2 Figure 4-1B Title Sheet Identification Format for TDOT Designed Construction SIGNATURES OF THE COMMISSIONER AND THE CHIEF ENGINEER ON TITLE SHEET (See ) ENGINEER S SEAL, SIGNATURE, AND DATE ON TITLE SHEET When plans are submitted for Construction, the engineer s seal, signature, and date shall be placed on the right side of the title sheet inside the sealed by box.

9 The engineer s seal, signature, and date must also be placed on every subsequent sheet of the Construction Plans (except the cross-sections). Certified digital signatures will be required for all plan submittals. The Department is utilizing Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS) for PDF documents. Vendors supplying the CDS certificates can be found on Adobe s website at Any of the companies listed can be used to purchase a token. A certification is to be specific to a single professional engineer utilizing the desktop-based document certification process and may not be done on a companywide basis. The professional engineer may not allow anyone else to use the certification on his behalf. Refer to the document Digital Signature Certification Workflow for information in applying a digital signature to a plan set.

10 Digital Signature Certification FINAL PLANS SUBMITTAL FORMAT To facilitate the requirements of all plans will be submitted as pdf portfolios. Each individual sheet in the portfolio shall have one of the following 2 digit prefixes to identify what section of the plans it belongs to for final assembly. 01 ROADWAY 02 Structures 03 Structures Reference Drawings 04 Utilities 05 SWPPP 06 Natural Stream DESIGN 07 Cross-Sections TDOT - ROADWAY DESIGN GUIDELINES English Revised: 08/01/19 4-3 Refer to the document located on the Standard DESIGN CADD Files and Documents webpage for proper naming convention for MicroStation Sheet files (.sht) from which the corresponding Adobe PDF (.pdf) files are created. PROJECT LENGTHS All projects shall show - " ROADWAY Length, Bridge Length, Box Bridge Length and Project Length" - on the title sheet.
