Appendix A. NEW DEVELOPMENT DESIGN FORMS
ATTENTION TO PERSONS USING THE URBAN DRAINAGE AND FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT SUPPLIED DESIGN FORM WORKSHEETS
The Design Form Worksheets with the accompanying Visual Basic macros have been developed using a high standard of care, including professional review for identification of errors, bugs, and other problems related to the software. Minor modifications have been made by the City of Colorado Springs. However, as with any initial release of software driven products, it is likely that some nonconformities, defects, bugs, and errors with the software program will be discovered as they become more widely used. The developers of these products welcome user feedback in helping to identify these potential problems so that improvements can be made to future releases of the Design Form Worksheets.
The Design Form Worksheets are intended to streamline the preliminary design process. Preparation of final design plans, addressing details of structural adequacy, public safety, hydraulic functionality, maintainability, and aesthetics, remain the sole responsibility of the designer.
