Innovation Description and Benefit:

Planless book jobs, are just that, projects that have no plan sheets.  The information typically provided in plans sheets, are all included in the job special provisions (JSPs). This innovation saves time and simplifies work on two-lane resurfacing and seal coat projects, by placing all the plan sheet information into the job special provisions (JSPs), a Word document with information prompts already set up.  The typical sections are images placed in the document, quantities are added to the document via embedded Excel spreadsheets, and temporary traffic control is referenced to Standard Plans 616.20.  The design teams can simply add their information to the Word document once and be done, no extra time adding it in MicroStation files.
