Inconsistent Finish Floor Elevation for Proposed Building

Civil

Critical

There is a direct contradiction regarding the finish floor elevation of the proposed building between the overall plan and the detailed plan. Sheet C6.0 specifies the finish floor elevation as '128.0', whereas Sheet C6.1 specifies it as '132.0'.

Conflicting Slope Direction and Grading Elevations for 59th Ave NE

Civil

Critical

There is a direct contradiction in the slope direction and grades for 59th Ave NE between the site grading plan and the road profile. C3.3 indicates the road slopes downward from South to North, showing a Top of Curb (TC) elevation of 129.28 in the southern area and an existing grade of 126.10 near the northern area. Conversely, the road...

Inconsistent Proposed Building Finish Floor Elevation (128.0 vs 132.0)

Civil

Critical

The Water Plan (sheet C5.1) states that the Proposed Building Finish Floor elevation is 128.0. However, the Sanitary Sewer Plan (sheet C6.1) states that the Proposed Building Finish Floor elevation is 132.0, presenting a 4-foot discrepancy between the civil plans.

Conflicting Pump Station Layouts and Components Under Identical Sheet Titles

Civil

Critical

Sheets C4.11 and C4.12 are both titled 'PUMP STATION PLAN', but depict entirely different pump station configurations. C4.11 details a two-wetwell system ('CB #94, WETWELL A' and 'CB #95, WETWELL B') alongside a rectangular '144\' X 264\' VALVE VAULT'. In contrast, C4.12 illustrates a single-wetwell system ('CB #132, 120\' WETWELL') with a...

Significant Discrepancy Between Catch Basin Rim Elevations and Adjacent Pavement Grades

Civil

Critical

There is a severe elevation mismatch between the storm drainage structures and the adjacent paving grades. The Grading Plan (C3.1) and Storm Drainage Plan (C4.1) both specify the Rim elevation for Catch Basin #9 as 126.19. However, the Grading Plan (C3.1) shows the adjacent parking lot pavement elevation (Bottom of Curb) at 127.85. This implies...

Conflicting Elevation Data for Retaining Wall 1 at Starting Station

Civil

Critical

There are major contradictions regarding the finished grade and top of wall elevations for the start of Retaining Wall 1 (Wall Station 0+00, Road Station 28+00). The C7.2 Road Profile states the finished grade (FG) at 28+00 is 128.68, which matches the C7.3 Wall Plan's top of wall (TW) elevation of 128.68 at 0+00.00. However, the C7.3 Wall...

Contradictory Details for Catch Basin 129 Between Plan and Specification

Civil

Critical

The Storm Drainage Plan (C4.1) identifies a catch basin as 'CB #129, TYPE 1' with a RIM elevation of 125.11 and a single 12' invert connection. This directly contradicts the Dispersion Trench section detail in the specifications (C4.13), which explicitly defines 'CB 129' as a '48' TYPE 2' catch basin with a beehive grate, a significantly...

Inconsistent Fire Lane Stenciling Sizing, Text, and Location

Civil

High

There is a direct contradiction regarding the exact text, letter height, and placement of fire lane markings between the Striping Notes and the Curb Details. Sheet C2.1 dictates that the text 'NO PARKING FIRE LANE TOW AWAY ZONE' be stenciled in 4-inch tall letters centered on the red stripe. However, Details 1 and 8 on Sheet C2.11 require the...

Conflicting Recording Numbers for 10' PUD No. 1 Easement

Civil

High

The grading plan (Sheet C3.1) and the road improvement plan (Sheet C7.5) cite different recording numbers for the 10' PUD No. 1 Easement located along the northern boundary near 172nd St NE.

Inconsistent Finish Floor Elevations for Proposed Building
Civil
High

Summary: The Overall Grading Plan (Sheet C3.0) designates a single, uniform Finish Floor elevation of 128.00 for the Proposed Building. However, the Detailed Grading Plan (Sheet C3.5) introduces conflicting information by showing multiple Finish Floor elevations, specifically calling out both 'FF: 128.43' and 'FF: 128.00' within the same building area.

The Overall Site Plan (C2.0) defines the available sheet index (C2.1 through C2.9) but does not provide the corresponding sheet numbers to resolve these placeholders.

Conflicting Catch Basin Sump and Invert Elevations (CB #98)
Civil
High

Summary: Sheet C4.11 specifies Catch Basin #98 with a 24' pipe invert elevation (IE) of 119.00. However, the Anchored Plate Flow Spreader detail (1/C4.14) explicitly referenced for this location specifies a 'BOTTOM OF SUMP: 124.0'. The invert elevation of a pipe cannot physically be lower than the bottom of the catch basin's sump.
