If it is not in the specs, I would submit an RFI to find out what the Engineer of Record requires.


P.s. If you are the EOR, then you are on the cusp of a transformative experience and will soon know the joy of studying the AISC manual and ASTMs to select what you need for the project. :)
 
Make sure this gets done right. If this is an anchor embedded in concrete for uplift and it is not done right, you could have a failure of a critical connection. Same thing goes with hold down washers/plates for wood sill plates.
