10.3 Electronic Deliverable Submittal Process

  • This section is intended to provide an overview of the Survey Submittal Process. See Figure 10.3.1 for an overview of the Submittal Workflow.


Figure 10.3.1 ProjectWise Submittal Workflow for Design Survey Deliverables.


  • To gain access to ProjectWise each consultant will be required to create an account by contacting the MDOT ProjectWise Consultant Resource at MDOT-ProjectWiseConsultant@michigan.gov.
  • After an account is created a folder with the consultant company name as the title will be added in the Survey Consultant Deliverables folder in ProjectWise.
  • The consultant will then have access to this folder to upload the required project files. Below is a detailed outline of the submittal process:


  1. The Project Manager(PM) will copy the standard survey folder (XXXXXX_Survey_20YY-MM-DD) and place it in the consultant's folder when the project is awarded. The PM will also add any additional folders to the standard folder depending on the scope of work.
  2. The PM will also place a blank Survey Notes Receipt and Transmittal form in the folder and change the state to next to initiate the process. this will initiate an email that will be sent to the Consultant.
  3. See Figure 10.3.2 for an example of the email.
    Figure 10.3.2 Email to Consultant informing that the folder is ready for the deliverables.
  4. The consultant will then have access to the folder and will be able to place the required files and documents in the project folder in ProjectWise.
  5. When all the information is in ProjectWise the consultant will change the state to next on the Survey Notes Receipt and Transmittal form.
  6. This will trigger an automatic email which will be sent to the PM notifiying them that the project is ready for review.
  7. See Figure 10.3.3 for an example of the email.
    Figure 10.3.3 Email to PM informing that the deliverables are ready for review.
  8. During the review process the consultant will still have access to add files if necessary.
  9. After the review process is complete the PM will change the state on the Survey Notes Receipt and Transmittal form to complete which will lock the folder and the data can then be moved from the consultant submittal folder to the appropriate project folder for the engineers to continue the design process.
  10. See Figure 10.3.4 for an example of the email.
    Figure 10.3.4 Email to Consultant informing that the deliverables have been accepted.

    • Microsoft Word
    • Approved horizontal least squares adjustment software: LGO (Leica Geomatics Office), TGO (Trimble Geo Office), TBC (Trimble Business Center), Starnet (Plus/Pro), MicroSurvey’s Starnet. Any other horizontal adjustment program will need prior approval for use on an MDOT project.
    • Approved vertical least squares adjustment software: Levproc, Starlev (Starnet Pro), and MicroSurvey’s Starnet are the only vertical adjustment programs that are acceptable at this time. Any other vertical adjustment program will have to be presented for evaluation by MDOT.
