The Design Guideline Manual provides a standardized set of guidelines that can be adopted by municipalities and other agencies involved with design and construction of municipal infrastructure.
The Design Guideline Manual includes:
- Alternative criteria relating to field conditions, climate, development standards and development density.
- Design criteria variations that may be adopted by various agencies in the form of Supplementary Design Guidelines, which supersede the guidelines contained in this manual.
- The contents of the manual are intended to complement MMCD Specifications and Standard Detailed Drawings.
This manual is not intended as a substitute for sound engineering knowledge and experience. It is the designer’s responsibility to exercise professional judgment that is in the best interests of the owners and users of the infrastructure. The standards in these guidelines are provided to assist in making judgments, but should not be used as a substitute.
Green Design Guidelines
The Green Design Guidelines have been incorporated, updated and expanded in the MMCD Design Guideline Manual. Some practices and design approaches have the potential to support sustainable development at the local government level. The decision to employ these additional practices remains with the design professional. However, the Design Guidelines Sustainability Considerations explore potential factors that may influence the choice of enhanced sustainability measures in the contract documents.
