ADVANCED PLANNING STUDY

The Advance Planning Study delineates a feasible structure type, requirements, constraints, and associated cost estimate summary for the structure work involved. The APS need only use the minimum detailing necessary and basic dimensions to clearly define the scope the structure work and to develop a reasonable cost estimate.

As a minimum, the APS should use Plan, Elevation, and Typical Section views and make note of all critical assumptions. Additional APSs must be prepared as appropriate to consider alternative structure types. The APS should be prepared on the most current APS formatted plan sheet, which is available through the OSFP website.
