Your drawing is 2 blocks that are scaled. I can tell this because when I open one of the blocks in block editor and then measure a line in there it shows the correct distance as the dimension shows.

You can explode the block. Then use scale command with the reference option. Pick the reference as one of the dimensions then key in that distance. It will scale it up so the entire thing is scaled to the correct size. Since you have 2 blocks you will need to do this twice. Once for each one.

Edit: There are 3 blocks one is our title block. You can actually just explode them all at once and do scale on all of them at once.

Here is a screencast of how I fixed it. Once you explode it, it is hard to see what is going on. I used the distance I knew of 6000 for the columns for my reference because it was easy to find and get the correct snap on the columns.
