Midway Redevelopment Project


d'Escoto, Inc. provided architectural and document control functions to the architect for the new Chicago Midway Airport Terminal Development Program. The Document Management Plan for this project entailed the development of a decimal system for document filings, with drawings filed by bid package number. There was no scanning of records involved in this project, but all documents were archived on microfilm. Documents generated by the design team were kept on a back-up network drive to be easily retrieved. Drawing lists were kept for each bid package. Logs were maintained for Shop Drawings, Requests for Information (RFI), Requests for Design Changes (RFDC), Bulletins & Addenda and Design Issues. Blueprints, artwork and document transmissions were handled by the Document Manager.
