Standard Plans

INTRODUCTION

MANHATTAN BEACH
STANDARD PLAN INTRODUCTION

The City of Manhattan Beach Standard Plans are to be maintained as "living" documents with subsequent editions released over time to include changes reflecting current industry standards and to maintain minimum acceptable standards for quality design and construction work in the City.

These Standard Plans answer the need for uniform design and construction standards and benefit both the general public and private contracting industry by eliminating conflicts and confusion, lowering construction costs, and encouraging more competitive bidding by contractors. These standard plans include designs prepared by various City Departments and standards from other agencies with or without modifications.

These standard plans are intended for use on City construction projects and on Private Development projects in the City. Any other standards different than these City of Manhattan Beach Standard Plans must have prior approval from the City Engineer.

The standard plans are named with a four digit alpha designation (identifying it as a Manhattan Beach city standard plan and identifying the standard plan section), followed by the standard plan number, and ending with a revision number suffix.

MB STANDARD DRAWINGS

The standard plans are organized and grouped in sections which correspond to the sections in the APWA's standard plans (e.g. Section 1: Street Improvements, Section 2: Sewers and Sanitation, etc.)

The latest edition is effective as of the date signed and approved by the City Engineer.
