2, Independent baselines in a network should not exceed 25 miles in
length, However, if only Ll-code (single-frequency receivers) is being
used, then collected baselines cannot exceed 10 miles,
3, Each session's length will depend on how long 4 or more common
(same) SV's can be tracked simultaneously, If the signal is interrupted
significantly or if common satellites are lost, then time~ must be

designation shall begin with the prcfix of the segment currently being
processed, See the Department's Electronic Data Guidelines dated December
14, 1998 for the feature code designations, The CONSULTANT shall collect
and assemble the right-of-way survey data as per the following:
1, For surveying deeded right-of-way:
a, Locate the centerline alignment of the road that was used to
describc the deeded right-of-way by coordinating at least two (2)
points on all tangents and three (3) points on all curves, It is very
important to detennine if any widening has taken place sincc the
deed centerline was established, Ifwidening was not symmctrical, .
use available field evidence to establish the deed centerline.
b. All existing right-of-way markers should be coordinated.
c. All existing property comers which will be used to detennine the
property take will be coordinated either by field surveyor by
computation from a deed or plat. All property points not directly
impacting the "take" can be digitized from thc dec_d, plat, or tax
map, The boundary for each parcel shall be chained.

d, The property.data ,graphic file must contain a notation, which
denotes any "right-of-way that is claimed by prescription".
"
2. Developing the Propcrty/Right-of Way database for roads with deeded
right-of-way:
a. Thealig~ent of the existing road should be determined by using
the tangent and curve points from the field survey. Degrees of
curves should be computed by using the field points, then
compared to old plans, and then an appropriate degree assigned to
the curve.
b. The DEPARTMENT'S right-of-way should then be set to
correspond with this alignment.
c, At this point the differences between the DEPARTMENT'S right-
of-way and the existing right-of-way markers and property
information should be evaluated.
d. All comers and boundaries, which conflict with the right-of-way,
should be projected or terminated to conform precisely with the
deeded right-of-way.
e. The parcel chain should contain the newly created points, which
conform to the right-of-way. The chain should not include any
property points that conflict with this right-of-way. These
conflicting points should be retained in the data file as part of the
project records.
f. Existing right-of-way markers which conflict with the true position
of the right-of-way are not to be used in any chains but are to be
retained in the data files as part of the project records,
g. Since there will be property and right-of-way points residing in the
data file, but are not included in any chains, the designer should
use caution before "plotting all points".
h. The CONSULTANT shall create a property chain for each parcel.
This chain includes all property comers (field located, computed,
or digitized). The property chain shall begin at the back station
. property point and progress clockwise until the point of beginning
is reached.

1. The acreage for an existing parcel shall be given as indicatcd by
the recorde~ deed or plat. As a last resort, the computed acreage
can be used, This acreage is important because it is used in the
computation of the parcel remainder.
3. For surveying non-deeded right-of-way:
a. The CONSULTANT will notify the DEPARTMENT in writing
that the roadway does not have a deeded right-of-way.
b. The surveyor shall locate the centerline alignment of the road by
coordinating at least two (2) points on all tangents and three (3)
points on all curves.
c. The surveyor shall coordinate the limits of the area along the
roadway, which is maintained by the DEPARTMENT or by the
local government (e.g., back of ditch to back of ditch), This area
may be claimed by prescription if it meets the legal requirements,
d, The surveyor is to document on a tax map, or other drawing. all
areas for which the DEPARTMENT or a local government does
not have deeded title.
4, Developing the PropertylRight-of-Way database for non-deeded right-
of-way:
a. The CONSULTANT shall create property chains from the field
survey' file that include all property comers (ficld located,
computed or digitized) which identify parcels,
b. The CONSULTANT shall create chains from the field survey file
that reflect the right-of-way that is considered to havc been
acquired by prescription (possession).
c. The property and right-of-way chains shall show the conflicts
between the property lines and these limits of the "claimed"
(prescriptive) right-of-way.
d, The property graphic file must contain a notation, which states
that, the "right-of-way is claimed by prescription",

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
Task 1. Traffic Model and Analysis
One of the requirements in the Georgia D.O.T. Plan Preparation Guide is the development of
A.M. and P.M. design hour projections as well as ADT projections. Since a new road is proposed
that will likely divert traffic from existing intersections, a transportation model can be used to
estimate that traffic volume, For this project, we propose to use the existing Augusta-Richmond
County travel demand model (TranPlan) maintained by the Georgia D.O.T. We will supply the
D.O.T. with up to three design scenarios and the expected roadway configuration. It is expected

that the D.O.T. will run the model and produce average daily traffic for the required roadway
links.
. The transportation modd will include the area bounded by the intersections of 1 Sth Street at
Walton Way, 15th Street at Riverwatch Parkway, 13th Street at Reynolds Street, and 13th Street at
Walton Way. Once the ADT's are developed by the D.O.T., we will examine the data for
reasonableness and compare them to the ground counts collected in Task 1. Peak hour
projections will be generated from !he existing counts and traffic projections for the base year
and the design year (usually 20 years from base). Traffic projections will only be developed for
those intersections where traffic turning movement counts are collected plus any new or
improved intersections made as part of the project. Street Smarts will adjust the traffic
assignments as needed to develop opening year and design year ADT and peak hour volumes.
Once the projections arl~ developed, the new roadways and intersections will be analyzed using
CORSIM (NETSIM). The only intersections that will be analyzed will be those where traffic
turning movement counts are collected plus any new or improved intersections created as part of
the project. We will analyze up to three design scenarios to determine proper lane configuration,
signal phasing, and tUn! bay lengths.
Signal warrant studies will be performed for any new intersections that demonstrate operational
difficulties if left unsignalized. It is expected that possibly five new' intersections will be
candidate locations for a traffic signal.
Task 2. Accident Analysis
We will analyze traffic accidents provided by the City at up to six intersections. The analysis will
include accident diagn:.ms and a summary of the problems at each study intersection that

Documentation.
Task 3. Report and Documentation
The end result will be a traffic report showing th~ design hour projections for each of up to three
design scenarios, results of at-grade intersection analyses, graphics as needed for clarity, and
recommendations. The recommendations will be divided into sections based on the up to three
scenarios reviewed. We will include number of through lanes needed, number and type of turn
lanes at intersections, traffic control inCluding signal phasing, turn bay lengths at major
intersections, median breaks (if applicable), and other transportation related information
applicable -to the study area, It is understood that the County or GDOT ~ill provide the required
format for the report.
Task 4. Signal Design
Street Smarts will perform the signal design work for the project after the design has been
approved and the intersection configurations are set. We will use the mapping and intersection
design drawings provided by the project team. A separate signal design plan will be prepared for
each new intersection approved for signalization and for those intersections currently signalized
but require modification based on changes in geometry, The plans will be prepared according to
Augusta-Richmond County and/or Georgia D.O.T. standards. The plans will include all items
necessary for construction.
We will meet with Augusta-Richmond <;:ounty officials to discuss particular design features of

the traffic signals including the incorporation oflntelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Some

ITS components that may be employed include video detection, signal interconnect system, and

If a signal interconnect plan is required, a separate plan will be produced that shows the location
of underground conduit or overhead lines including pull boxes, if necessary, and splice
enclosures.
If video detection is employed, a separate plan will be produced that shows the location of
equipment and the coverage area of the cameras. The signal plans will be modified to incorporate
the detection into the input file.
Miscellaneous Services - Signal Timing
The trafijc signal plans do not include signal timing. It is expected that all the new signals as
well as some of the existing traffic signal will require signal timing plans. New coordinated
timing plans, traffic responsive plans, actuated timings schemes, preemptive timing sequences,
and other related inputs can be developed by ~treet Smarts. This work would be part of the
Miscellaneous Services portion of the contract; the scope of which would be negotiated if those
services are required,
Meetings
Street Smarts will be available to attend meetings as necessary. We expect to participate in a
kick-ofT meeting and up to two other meetings where the entire project team is needed. In

quantities shall only be added upon recommendation from the DEPARTMENT. Any quantity amounts to
be rounded off shall occur only when transferring them from the Summary Boxes to the Detailed Estimate
Sheet. See the Detailed Estimate sheet discussion below for information pertaining to rounding off.
DETAILED ESTIMATE SHEET:
The Detailed Estimate Sheet for a set of construction plans is one of the most important sheets. It is a
precise listing of all th(~ different pay item types and materials with quantity amounts needed to construct
the project. The Detailed Estimate is used by the Department to prepare the bid item proposal booklets,
which are sold to contractors for the purpose of submitting an itemized Cost Estimate for the proposed
construction work.
The Detailed Estimate Sheet(s) are to be placed in the plans immediately following all summary of
Quantity Sheets. The Detailed Estimate Sheet will read in double columns from top left to bottom right
with the top being the 35" side of a plan sheet sized 23" by 35". The line items will be spaced and so
divided as to provide at clear and legible Detailed Estimate, The quantity amounts to be shown for each
pay item shall be transferred from the summary to the Detailed Estimate Sheet as follows:
1. Use only whole numbers on the following:
a. miles
b. Acres
2. For pay items with the unit of measurement "EACH" - the summaI)' and detailed estimate quantity
must match.
3. For large quantity items with small unit costs, anything over 1000 units, such as Unclassified
Excavation, carry the next highest even 100 forward to the Detailed Estimate regardless of the last
two digits. For example: 16,206 cubic yards should be carried forward as 16,300 cubic yards.
21,433 cubic yards should be carried forward as 21,500 cubic yards.
4. For intermediate quantities, 100 to 1000 units, such as pavement or pipes carry the next highest even
10 forward. For example: Paving items: 284 tons, use 290 tons
Pipe: 271 LF, use 280 LF.
5. Small quantities of 100 units or less, carry the same total forward unless it contains a decimal.
Where a decimal occurs, use the next highest whole number. For example:
33 cubic yards Class "A" Concrete, use 33 cubic yards.

65.2 square yards. Conc. Approach Slab, use 66 square yards.
For quantities of less than I always use I unit. Example: 0.35 mile, use I mile
For hybrid quantities with a lump sum pay item, the Detailed Estimate item unit and quantity column
must be "LUMP". For example, Clearing and Grubbing - Project Number LUMP LUMP.
The pay item numbers shall be in numerieal order within their respective category. The usual
procedure in making the Detailed Estimate is as follows:
a. Roadway items
b. Drainage items
c. Erosion control - permanent
d. Erosion control - temporary
e. Signing and Marking & Signal items
f. Concrete Bridge Culvert items (each culvert listed separately)
g. Wall items (induding alternates if applicable)

APPENDIX "C-l"
GUIDELINES FOR BRIDGE SURVEYS
BRIDGE SURVEYS
Thc length of a bridge survey should normally start 1000 feet before the beginning of the
bridgc, cover the length of the bridge and extend for 1000 feet beyond the end of the
bridgc. If a stream lies beneath the bridge, a stream traverse 500 feet upstream and 500
fcct downstream, for a total of 1000 feet is required. If a railroad lies beneath the bridge,
a railroad survey for 500 feet on each side of the bridge is required. Ifa bridge is over an
cxisting road, a roadway survey for 300 feet on each side of the bridge is required.
A. The following itcms are needed on a BRIDGE SURVEY WHICH IS OVER A
STREAM:
I. A Property Survey which covers the roadway alignment and a stream
traverse. Tax maps, property owners names and addresses, deeds and
plats are also required for the Property Survey. The right-of-way should
always bc vcrified by deeds.
2. Alignment of the existing bridge and also the alignment of the roadway
for 1000 feet from each end of bridge. The beginning and ending
centerline station should be established on the ground or pavement along
with thc beginning and ending centerline stations of the bridge and any
PC's or PT's.
3. DTM Bridge Survey- To define the right-of-way limits and alignment,
takc a shot in the center of the bridge at the BFPR, two shots on each
tangent of centcrlincs and three shots on each curve centerline.
4. Topo- Topo should be takcn to at least 10 feet beyond the existing right-
of-way, exccpt for thc area 500 feet before the beginning of the bridge to
500 fect bcyond thc end of the bridge. The coverage in this area
normally should be 200 feet left and right of the ccnterline of the existing
road.
5. Benchmarks- Three benchmarks are required: One at the beginning of
thc survcy, one at the bridge or stream site near the right-of-way, and one
at the end of the survey. These three benchmarks should be described
with a sketch which also shows the X, Y, and Z coordinates. All
elcvations should be established with a spirit level.
6. Cross Scctions or DTM Survey coverage should have the same limits as
thc Topo limits. Elevations along the bridge deck centerline and the
guttcrlines at the intersection with the centerline of each bent and at each
mid-span should be established with a SPIRIT LEVEL. See example
"A". Adequatc plus stations or DTM shots should be taken to accurately
define the profile of the terrain beneath the bridge, to include endrolls,lstream channel banks, stream centerline, scour and any other breaks in
thc terrain.

7. Stream Traverse- The stream traverse should begin at 500 feet upstream
from the bridge centerline with Station 1+00.00 and then continue
downstream to a station 500 feet below the bridge centerline. A top of
water elevation shall be taken at the 500 feet upstream, 500 feet
downstream, and at the bridge centerline sites. The topo, profile levels,
and cross sections of the stream can be shown either by the plus and
offset method or by the DTM method. Whichever method is used,
sufficient data should be taken to accurately represent the profile of the
stream bed.
8. Floodplain Cross Sections- Two floodplain cross sections are required
and should extend to a point 2 feet above the high water mark that has
been established for the stream at the bridge site. The floodplain
elevations are to be taken at 100 feet intervals on natural ground,
preferably between 50 and 100 feet on each side of the roadway. When
floodplain cross sections extend past the Bridge Survey alignment, thc
floodplain cross sections should be taken at 500 feet intervals until the 2
feet above high water floodplain has been reached. Five shots or
elevations are needed at each station cross section, one at the centerline
of thc road, one on each edge of the pavement and one on natural ground
on each side of the road. Floodplain cross sections may be required for
bridges located within 2000 feet upstream or downstream of the Bridge
Survey. On these bridges the surveyor should always call the GDOT
Bridge Hydraulic Office to verify the requirement for floodplain cross
sections.
9. Bridge Sketch- Bridge sketches shall be drawn showing the elevation and

bridge beam shall be the same as the stationing for the alignment of the
bridge deck. On mapping surveys which have no alignment, the
stationing for the bridge sketch shall begin with station 0+00. See
example "B". For structures located upstream or downstream that could
have an adverse affect of the bridge at the survey site, a sketch is
required. This distance could be as much as 2000 feet. For upstream
drainage structures beyond this limit, the size and type should be plotted
on a quadrangle map or county map. See example "C".
10. Overflow Bridges or Culverts within Floodplain- A distance from the
bridge being surveyed to any overflow bridge or culvert that is within it's
floodplain should be shown along with a bridge sketch, the elevation of
thc deck or size of the culvert and the flowline elevation.

This report shall define, clarify and list the information necessary to produce an acceptable and
reproduciblc set of contract documents for bridge construction.

a.
Purpose: The Structure Type Study will consider any number of possible
substructure and superstructure alternatives and will support those options to be
carried forward into subsequent design phases. Cost effective span lengths shall
be finalized. This will allow early start of the geotechnical exploration program.
When alternate designs are considered, equality between the altcrnates is
essential in ensuring equitablc competition and optimum cost effectiveness. This
equality includes achieving uniformity of design criteria, material requirements
and devclopment of unit costs.
b.
Format: The report shall use 8 Y2" by 11" pages with drawings on larger shccts,
if necessary, but folded to fit the report. The report shall be neatly written and
the contents prcsentcd in a logical sequence with narrative, as required, to explain
the section contcnts. An Executive Summary shall compare the relative features
and costs of the alternates considcred and recommend alternate(s) to be carried
forward into the Preliminary Phase.
TIle Structure Type Study should be as self contained as possible by including all
argumcnts that establish, justify, support, or prove the conclusions. It is
acceptable to makc reference to other documents that will be included in the final
submittal package: however, any documentation that will help emphasize a point,
support a statcment or clarify a conclusion should be used. Such documentation
may include drawings, clear and concise views, or other such illustrated
information that can assist in presenting design intents and solutions.
c.
Contents: Information other than cost, affecting the selection of an alternate,
shall also be included. This requires timely completion and consideration of
geotechnical survey data, life cycle maintenance, construction time and staging
assumptions, constructibility, maintenance of traffic, etc. Various methods of
handling traffic during construction should be thoroughly investigated. Data
provided by others should be thoroughly reviewed and if deemed insufficient or
in error should be brought to the attention of the provider. The major items
considered shall be:
(I)
Span Arrangement, Proportion, and Bridge Length: Column and/or
pier locations are subject to vertical and horizontal clearance require-
ments. After these considerations are met, span lengths are govcrned by
economics and aesthctic considerations.

Piers located in a divided highway median must be protected from traffic
when located within the clear zone. Generally this will be accomplished
by guardrail or concrete barrier.
Superstructure depths (grade separation structures in particular) shall be
kept to the minimum consistent with good engineering practice. Recom-
mended depth/span ratios are shown in the AASHTO Bridge
specifications.
(2)
Statical System: The economic and engineering advantage of simple
span vs. continuous spans will be addressed.
(3)
Superstructure: Consider prestressed concrete girders, steel rolled
sections, steel platc girders, steel or concrete box girders, and other
GDOT approved sections.
(4)
Combinations: The above in combination with various foundation
types, such as piles, drilled shafts and/or spread footings. For piles and
drilled shafts, assume size, length, and capacities from available
geotechnical information. For spread footings, allowable bearing
prcssure should also be assumed from available geotechnical informa-
tion.
(5)
Quantity Estimates: For minor bridges rough quantities (such as
reinforcing steel based on kilos per cubic meter of concrete) may be
sufficicnt. However, for major and complex bridges the degree of
accuracy may require more exact calculations keeping in mind that the
intcnt is to cstablish relative costs between alternates and not necessarily
to thc accuracy required for a final estimate. Also, for major and
complex structures it may be necessary to develop unit costs from an
analysis of fabrication, storage, delivery and erection costs.
(6)
Unit Costs: Data available from the GDOT or contractors and suppliers
should be used to arrive at unit costs. The sources of all price data
should be recorded for later reference.
(7)
Cost Curves: For each alternate establish the most economical span
arrangement, i.e., minimum combined superstructure and substructure
cost.
Aesthetics: Any bridge design must integrate three basic elements: efficiency, economy
and elegance. Rcgardless of size and location, the quality of the structure and its
aesthetic attributes should be carefully considered by the designers.
2.
A succcssful bridge design will then be elegant or aesthetically pleasing in and of itself
and compatiblc with the site by proper attention to form, shapes and proportions.
Attention to dctails is of primary importance in achieving a continuity of form and lines.

The designer must consider the totality of the structure as well as its individual compo-
nents. A disregard for this continuity or lack of attention to detail can spoil the best
intent. In bridge aesthetics, the designer is dealing with the basic structure itself; not with
enhanccml;:nt, additions, or other superficial touches.
The challe:nge differs for a major and a minor structure. Indeed, the challenge may be
greater th(~ smaller the bridge. Major structures, because of their longer spans, taller
piers, or curving geometry offer opportunities not available for minor bridges.
Multi-bridge projects, such as interchanges, is an area where aesthetics play an important
role because of their high visibility to a large number of motorists. In this instance, a
conformity of theme and unifying appearance should be created. Avoid abrupt changes
in structural features.
Thc level of aesthetic effort shall include an emphasis on full integration of efficiency,
cconomy, and elegance in all bridge components and the structure as a whole. Consider-
ation should be given to structural systems that are inherently more pleasing, such as
hammcrhead or "T" shaped piers, oval or polygonal shaped columns, piers in lieu of
bents, smooth transitions at superstructure depth change locations, etc. Additional
emphasis should be placed on the surroundings at interchanges where landscaping or
unique features need to be considered.
3.
Constructibility and Maintainability: All viable structure concepts shall be evaluated
for constmctibility. Items such as member sizes, handling, fabricating, and transporting
members, maintenance of traffic, construction staging, equipment requirements, etc.
should be considered. Special evaluation shall be made to insure against potential
problems that may occur in obtaining permits and equipment to transport long and/or
heavy mcmbers form point of manufacture to the project site. Also, considerations for
futurc maintenance inspection shall be taken into account in the structure's design. Such
considcrations may include the need for 6 feet minimum headroom inside steel or
concretc box girder superstructures. The intent of this requirement is to assure that all
spccial construction and maintenance requirements are identified and appropriately
rcflccted in the considcration of any concept that is to be recommended for design.
4.
Conclusion and Intent: Following submittal of the Structure Type Study, the DE-
PARTMENT should have enough data to select either one or more alternates for
dcvelopment in the next phase of design.

o - 100
100 - 400
400 - 1500
Over 1500
5 Year

b. A minimum of2 feet of freeboard above the design floodstage is required.
C. One foot of freeboard above the 100-year (base) flood is desirable.
d. A minimum of one foot of freeboard above the roadway overtopping
floodstage.
NOTE.: APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED FROM THE HYDRAULIC
ENGINEER IF THE PROPOSED SUPERSTRUCTURE DOES NOT CLEAR
THE 100 YEAR FLOODSTAGE.
4. FREEBOARD FOR ROAD SUBGRADES
To protect the pavement, road subgrades should be one foot above the design
high water level.
5. ADDITIONAL DESIGN FREQUENCY AND FREEBOARD
CONSIDERA TIONS
a. The storms mentioned above are minimum design storms. The actual design
storm can have a greater design frequency based on the engineer's discretion.
b. If the bridge site is affected by abnormal floodstages, the bridge will provide
freeboard above the abnormal floodstage and be designed for a velocity that
occurs without the effects of the abnormal floodstage.
c. If the bridge is over one of the major lakes or reservoirs where there is boat
traffic, the grade should be set so that there is a minimum of 8 feet of
freeboard above the maximum operating pool.
d. If debris is a problem at the site, the engineer may, at his discretion, increase
the above-required minimum clearances.

NOT APPLICABLE
1.2 DISCHARGES
The latest version of the USGS publication, ''Techniques for Estimating
Magnitude and Frequency of Floods in Rural basins of Georgia" shall be used in
calculating the various storm discharges at the project site. The regional flood
frcquency relations and applicable gage data shall be utilized as shown in this
publication. In addition to the above named publication, the USGS also has a
publication, "Annual Peak Discharges and Stages for Gauging Stations in
Gcorgia" which contains the various storm discharges at the gauged sites. Whcn
applicable, the USGS publication, "Flood-Frequency Relations for Urban
Strcams in Georgia" shall be used in calculating the various storm discharges for
urban streams.
1.3 CALIBRATION OF COMPUTER MODEL
When a USGS gage is located at or near the bridge site, floodstages to calibrate
the computer model can be obtained from the USGS regional office in Atlanta.
In addition, if in the engineer's judgement, reliable highwater information at or
near the site is available and the flood frequency of the applicable storm can be
detcrmined, the model can be calibrated using this information.
1.4 BACKWATER
a. The JOO-vcar backwater shall be limited to one foot above the unrestricted or natural 100-
ycar profi Ie.
b. In addition to the above limitations, bridges located within areas covered by a FEMA
rcgulatory floodway will be sized to satisfy FEMA requirements. See Section D,
"FLOODW A Y - FLOODPLAIN REQUlREMENTS".
c. Development and/or existing flooding conditions in the upstream floodplain shall be
considered in all cases.
1.5 FLOW VELOCITIES
Flow velocities within the bridge opening should be limited to minimize scour in
the overbank portion of the opening. Acceptable stream channel and overbank
vdocitics may be determined by comparison with the natural velocities and
existing bridge velocities, along with any scour problems, or lack thereof, at the
D-3
.

considered. Box culverts should be sized with acceptable flow velocities to
minimize potential scour.
1.6 BllUDGE SCOUR
A scour analysis will be performed for all bridges, using the methods in the latcst
version of HEC-18. General contraction and local (pier) scour calculations shall
be performed. The design flood for scour shall be the 100 year or overtopping
flood if it is less than or equal to the 100 year flood. Scour should also be
computed for the 500 year flood, or the overtopping flood if it is greater than the
100 year flood and less than the 500 year flood.
1. 7 BRIDGE ABUTMENT PROTECTION
Spillthrough type abutment type endrolls with a 2: 1 slope normal to the end bent
an~ normally used for new bridges. Riprap protection for these endrolls shall be
sized using the mcthod shown in the latest version of HEC-18. The 100 year
flood should be used for this design. This riprap protection shall be entrcnched 2
fel~t below the ground line and extend 2 feet above the 100-year floodstage
elevation. The riprap protection shall be extended a minimum distance of 20 feet
beyond the end of the wingwalls. A riprap apron, with a width equal to twice the
100 year storm flow depth in the overbank area, from a minimum width of 10
feet to a maximum of 25 feet, shall be used to protect the endroll toes. The depth
of riprap at the endrolls is normally 2 feet. The Department of Transportation
uses two sizes of riprap: Type 1 riprap has a D50 of 1.14 feet and Type 3 riprap
has a D50 of 0.64 feet. Plastic filter fabric is placed under the riprap.
1.8 GUIDE BANKS (SPUR DIKES)
Guide bank calculations shall be performed as shown in the latest version of
HEC-20 and shall be based on the 100 year flood. A guide bank shall not be
built where the required length is less than 150 feet. Based on FHW A
recommendations, the GDOT policy is to build a maximum length guide bank of
150 feet. The engineer, at his discretion, may specify a longer guide bank.
1~ DETOUR STRUCTURES
a. Detour structurcs should be sized, where required, to maintain traffic during the
new construction. The detour structure may be a bridge, extension of a proposed
culvert, or corrugated metal pipes. The detour structure is sized to convey the
10-year storm, and is recommended to be placed downstream of the proposed
bridge site. The detour bridge superstructure shall clear the 10 year floodstage
elevation. Traffic can also be maintained, in certain cases, by stage construction
of the proposed bridge.
b. Detour structures in tidal areas are to be sized based on the engineer's judgement.
Thc minimum size should be based on the high tide flow conditions.

2. HYDRAULIC AND HYDROLOGICAL STUDIES
2.1 METHODSIPROCEDURES - ALL RIVERINE BRIDGE PROJECTS
NOTE:: The following methods/procedures are for bridge replacements,
wideni,ngs and parallelings unless otherwise noted.
A. The following hydraulic computer models are approved by the GDOT to be utilized
when tidal flow is not present:
1. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) computer model 'WSPRO';
2. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers computer model 'HEC-RAS'. This model
shall be used with the 'WSPRO' bridge routine option;
3, The 'FESWMS' computer model. This model shall be used in cases where there
is a large amount of two-dimensional flow. Cases where this program shall be
utilized include, a skewed crossing of a wide floodplain, a wide floodplain
requiring multiple bridges, or if there is significant lateral flow in the vicinity of
the: bridge, such as close proximity to a meander bend, or a stream junction
immediately upstream;
NOTE: OBT AIN APPROVAL FROM THE HYDRAULIC ENGINEER
BEFORE USING 'FESWMS'.
4. For bridge sites with a drainage area of 20 square miles or less, a box culvert
alternate must be considered. Two culvert computer models are accepted; 1) The
FHWA 'HY-8' computer model for box culverts shall be used in conjunction
with the 'WSPRO' computer model; and 2) The 'HEC-RAS' computer model;
5. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers computer model 'HEC-2' shall only be used
in modeling the regulatory floodways for the required coordination with FEMA.
'HEC-RAS' can be utilized to duplicate/model the floodway and profile runs if
ac(~ptable by FEMA.
B. Investigate the flood history of the stream. Sources for this information include, but
are not limited to:
1. USGS gage records;
2. Existing bridge and maintenance files;
3. Previous studies done by the DOT, Corp of Engineers, FEMA and the USGS;
4. Information from local residents;
5. Information from the local community;
6. Information from local Department personnel;
7. Hydraulic Engineering Field Report.
C. Investigate the bridge site scour history. Some sources of information are:
1. The bridge inspection and maintenance files;
2. A comparison of the original bridge plan and profile with the currently surveyed
profile;

3. Aerial photographs taken over as long a time span as available. Based on this
information, an indication of the long-term channel stability and aggradation or
degradation can be estimated. An evaluation of the performance of the existing
bridges can also be made.
4. For bridge widenings and parallelings only: A bridge condition survey for the
existing bridge shall be requested from the Office of Maintenance, along with a
bridge deck condition survey from the Office of Materials and Research (Forest
Park Lab). These surveys will recommend any needed repairs to the existing
bridge, or if the repairs are extensive, will recommend the replacement of the
existing structure. These recommendations shall be incorporated into the
preliminary bridge layout and study.
D. Hydrology:
I. Using USGS topographic maps, determine the boundaries of the drainage basin
and measure the area. Determine the land usage from aerial photography,
topographic maps, and a site visit;
2. TIle latest version of the USGS publication, "Techniques for Estimating
Magnitude and Frequency of Floods in Rural basins of Georgia" shall be used in
calculating the various storm discharges at the project site. The regional flood
fr(:quency relations and applicable gage data shall be utilized as shown in this
publication. In addition to the above named publication, the USGS also has a
publication, "Annual Peak Discharges and Stages for Gauging Stations in
Georgia" which contains the various storm discharges at the gauged sites. When
applicable, the USGS publication, "Flood-Frequency Relations for Urban
Streams in Georgia" shall be used in calculating the various storm discharges for
urban streams;
3. TIle hydraulic slope is at the site is normally determined by use of the USGS
topographical sheets and/or the surveyed water surface elevations taken 500 feet
upstream and downstream and at the centerline of the crossing;
4. If the drainage area contains significant storage volume upstream of the project
site, the runoff must be determined by developing unit hydrographs and routing
the various floods through the basin taking into account the storage.
E. Site Inspection:
I. Evaluate the stream characteristics and hydraulic properties, evaluate the
perfonnance of the existing bridge (if applicable), evaluate the channel and
floodplain geometrics, and evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the survey
data;
2. Possible flooding problems of buildings and other structures in the floodplain
should be identified;
3. Any existing scour problems should be noted;
4. Any possible channel migration should be noted;
5. Bridge sites immediately upstream and downstream of the project site along the .
same stream should be visited and the performance of the structures evaluated.

F. Hydraulic Analysis:
1. The hydraulic computer model shall be used to determine the eXlstmg and
proposed conditions at the site. The 2 year, 10 year, design year, 100 year and
500 year or overtopping storm shall be modeled for the project site. The design
flood shall be conveyed through the bridge opening, while floods greater than the
design flood may be conveyed over the roadway and through the bridge opening.
The 2 year flood is modeled for Corp permit purposes. The 10 year storm is used
to size the detour structure;
2. If the drainage area is less than 20 square miles, a box culvert alternate should be
analyzed. The natural or unrestricted highwater profiles should be developed
using 'WSPRO' or 'HEC-RAS'. Two culvert computer models are accepted;
l)The FHWA 'HY-8' computer model; and 2) The 'HEC:-RAS' computer
model;
3. If the project is within a FEMA regulatory floodway, see Section D, "Floodway -
Floodplain Requirements".
G. Design of Bridge
Bridge Replacements
a. Establish the orientation of the bridge substructure by determining the flood
flow angle. This should be based on topographic maps, aerial photographs
and the site inspection. If 'FESWMS' is used, it will compute the velocity
vectors, which will show the flood flow angle directly;
b. Spillthrough abutment type endrolls with a 2: 1 slope normal to the end bent
are normally used for new bridges. The toe of the bridge endrolls shall be
placed a minimum of 10 feet back from the creek bank or at a point 10 feet
back from where a 2: I slope from the bottom of the creek bank intersects the
groundline in the overbank, whichever is greater;
c. Set the span lengths for the bridge. The span over the ch~el should be set
first. If practical, the channel should be completely spanned. The
substructure should be set far enough back of the channel banks so that the
banks will not be broken down during construction;
d. At sites where the bridge bent heights are acceptable and subsurface
conditions are suitable, pile bents are normally used. Concrete reinforced
'T' - beam superstructure, with spans of 30 feet or 40 feet, is used with this
substructure;
e. At sites where the bridge bents are too high for pile substructure, or the
subsurface conditions warrant, or there is a debris problem, or a long span is
required, concrete intermediate bents with footings are typically used. Spans
longer than 40 feet normally use cast-in-place concrete bents;
f. At sites where intermediate bents have to be located within the stream
channel, the bents should align with the stream channel flow. If pile bents
are located within the stream channel or at the channel banks, they should not
be tower bents;
g. For ease of structural design and repetition in fabrication, the use of equal
span lengths are recommended while following sound hydraulic design
practice;
h. The bridge superstructure shall meet the clearance requirements specified in
the Design Criteria section.

Bridge Widenjngs and Parallelings
a. In general, the above recommendations (G. 1) for bridge replacements apply
where applicable;
b. The first choice for the widening and/or paralleling of an existing bridge is to
approximate the existing bottom of beam elevation, span lengths and bent
skew. Some common complications and solutions are as follows:
1) If the bridge widening is significant and the existing bents do not align
with the flood and/or channel flow, the widened bents can be skewed to
match the flood and/or channel flow. The parallel bridge bents can be
skewed to match the flood/channel flow;
2) The span arrangement for the parallel bridge can be varied from the
existing bridge to adhere to the recommendations in G.t.
3) If the existing bottom of beam elevation does not provide the required
clearancc over the design year and 100 year floods and/or the
backwater/velocity/scour values yield values which indicate that a
longer/higher structure is needed, the following steps should be taken:
a) The bridge history should be checked out. The maintenance records
should be reviewed for any past or existing scour problems at the
site. In addition, the Hydraulic Engineering Field Report should
indicate any existing flooding and/or scour problems. The engineer
should perform a site inspection to observe any existing or proposed
problcms;
b) If no scour or flooding problems exist and the potcntial for any
significant problems seems low, the engineer can opt to widen!
parallel in-kind with no major changes;
c) If thcre is evidence of flooding and/or scour problems, or if the
widcning/paralleling is so significant that the calculations indicate
that a longer/higher structure(s) is required, or that the existing
foundations are inadequate, then the engineer must make the
necessary adjustments to the existing structure until satisfied that it is
hydraulically sufficient. These options can include replacing the
existing structure.
c. It is desirable for the proposed widened and/or parallel bridge endrolls to
clear thc creek channel by the minimum distance specified in G.1.b. If this
clearance cannot be achieved by widening or paralleling in-kind, the
following options should be considered:
I) For a bridge widening, the widened end bent(s) can be skewed away
from the stream channel;
2) The proposed widened and/or parallel bridge(s) can be lengthened,
placing the end bent(s) farther away from the stream channel to obtain
this clearance;
d. The possibility of replacing the existing bridge with a more cost effectivc
structure should be checked if:
I) The computer model and various hydraulic calculations indicate that the
existing bridge is oversized;
2) Extcnsive repairs to the existing bridge are required;
3) Thc existing bridge has steel beam superstructure.

NOTE: OBTAIN APPROVAL FROM THE HYDRAULIC ENGINEER
BEFORE REPLACING THE EXISTING BRIDGE.
Bridg,;: Box Culverts
In general, box culverts are placed at sites which have favorable floodplain
conditions, which include, a well-defined creek channel and a site that is not
likely to accumulate silt in the culvert barrels. For this reason, culverts are not
normally placed in swampy areas or sites that are frequently affected by
abnormal stage conditions. The culvert width is normally set by matching the
width of the stream channel and is designed to flow full for the design year and
100 year storms. A Georgia standard size and skew box culvert should be used if
possible.
H. Scour Analysis
I. A scour analysis will be performed for all bridges, using the methods in the latest
version of HEC-18. HEC-20 should also be consulted. General contraction and
local (pier) scour calculations shall be performed. The design flood for scour shall
be thc 100 year or overtopping flood if it is less than or equal to the 100 year flood.
Scour should also bc computcd for the 500 year flood, or the overtopping flood if it
is greater than the 100 year flood and less than the 500 year flood~
2. One ofthc primary scour areas is abutment scour. This is due to insufficient bridge
opening or a largc discharge in the overbank area. Guide banks (Spur dikes) should
be considered for protection against this type of scour. All bridge abutments shall
be protected for scour by riprap. The proposed bridge opening(s) should be sized to
minimize the possibility of abutment scour;
3. If the bridgc is located in or near a channel bend, the possibility of channel
migration is increased. Placing the bridge foundations deep enough to withstand
thc possible migration and channel scour is recommended. The bridge abutments
should be placed far enough back so that any channel migration would not reach
them during the lifctime of the bridge, 75 years at a minimum. Channel
stabilization should be considered utilizing the methods in HEC-20.
I. Cost Analysis
Cost ,;:stimates should be performed for all proposed drainage structure alternates.
The most cost effective, hydraulically adequate, alternate should be chosen.
J. Risk Assessment
When the bridge hydraulic design is selected, a risk assessment will be performed to
. determine if a more economical design approach should be considered. The risk
asses~ment involves answering a series of questions that will determine the need for a
risk analysis. See Risk Assessment charts.

K. Channcl Changes.
For both bridges and culverts it may be desirable in some instances to construct a
channd change to improve the hydraulic performance of the structure. Several
consid.erations must be made. Environmental resource agencies object highly to
channd changes. They require extensive mitigation for channel changes. Channel
changl~s are to be avoided if at all possible.
In the rare instances that a channel realignment is required and used, the change and
effccts must be reflected in the appropriate hydraulic computer model.
NOTE: DUE TO APPROVAL PROBLEMS WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
RESOURCE AGENCIES, THE HYDRAULIC ENGINEER WILL ONLY
CONSIDER CHANNEL CHANGES FOR EXTREME CONDITIONS.

(FEMA) regulation requirements. The GADOT adheres to the guidelines set forth in the
Fcdcral Highway Administration's Federal-Aid Policy Guide, 23 CRF 650A, September
30, 1992, Transmittal 5, "Procedures For Coordinating Highwav Encroachments On
Floodplains With Fedcral Emergencv Managcment Agency".
All bridges within the State fall into one of the following five categories concerning
Fcdcral Emergcncy Management Agency (FEMA) involvement:
A. If the strcam is a designatcd floodway, the structure should be designed, if practical,
so thaI: the bridge approaches will not encroach on the regulatory floodway;
B. If the stream is a dcsignated floodway, and encroachment on the regulatory floodway
is necessary, the structure should be designed, if practical, so that there will be no
change in the 100 year flood elevations, floodway elevations, and floodway widths at
any cross section. This is considered a "No Rise" project. A signed and sealed ''No
Rise" certification by a registered professional engineer is required. If this criterion
is met, two original sets of supporting documentation should be prepared. One set is
for submission to the affected Community, and one set is for GA DOT's records;
C. If the stream is a designated floodway, and encroachment on the regulatory floodway
is neccssary, and the above criterion in (B) is not met, then the floodway will be
adjusted to meet the requirements of the local community and FEMA. The
Profcssional Certification Form required by FEMA is to be completed, and signed
and scaled by a registered professional engineer. In this case, three original sets of

D. supporting documentation should be prepared. One set is for submission to the
affected Community, one set is for submission to FEMA, and one set is for
GADOr s records;
E. For bridges in areas not in a designated floodway, but covered by Flood Insurance
Maps, the bridge will be sized to limit the backwater to no more than a 1 foot
increase in the existing 100 year (base) flood elevation;
F. For blidges which are outside of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
communities or NFIP identified flood hazard areas, the bridge should be sized using
the GADOT guidelines and policies.
5: REQUIRED SUPPORTING DOCUMENT A nON

FOUNDA TI()N DRILLING AND SAMPLING GUIDELINES
ll. Bridge FOUI1\dation Investigations- Drilling, Sampling and Special
Sote~.
A. Drilling Criteria
!. ......
1. As a general rule, one boring should be made at each bent of the new or widened
bridge. For long bridges in the Coastal Plain Region, begln by drilling every other
interrnediau: bent. and if the subsurface; conditions between borings are very
sImilar, the bents that were skipped may not need to be drilled This decision
should hav~: prior approval from an engineer from the Geotechnical Engineering
Bureau, however. Bridges in tbe Piedmont or Valley and Ridge Regrons may
require two borings at each bent if erratic foundation conditions are found
between bel:tts. Discuss this with the engineer in charge of the project.
2. Borings should be drilled as closely as possible to the location of the proposed
footing or c:olumn, Borings should be offset only when site or traffic condittons
prevent thi!i. If 8 lane or shoulder closure is required to perform borings, prior
approval must be obtained from the District Engineer's otTice_ All lane or
shoulder closures must be set up in accordance with Ml.}TCD standards, and
within the hours set by the District Eng'nce:r's office,
3, The depth of the borings should be: according to the following criteria:
a, Piedmont and Valley and Ridge Regions:
Grade Separation Bridges: Borings at the endbents should be drilled to rock
refusal. Borings a.t the intennediate bents may be terminated if 25-blow count
or bettf~r material is found throughout the first 20 feet of material below the
proposed footing elevation. However, one boring every 300 feet (v.ith a
m\nimmn of one boring at one of thc intermediate bents) should be drilled to

rock refusal to check for groundwater or varying subsurface conditions. If the
borings have not encountered 25-blow count or better material with;" the first
25 feet of the ground surfllce, then continue the boring to rock refusal. Tf rock
is found at shallow elevations (within 15 feet of the ground surface), the rock
should bl~ cored to ensure that spread footings or drilled shafts can be founded
on or in c;,ornpetent rock.
b. Coastal Plain Region:
Grade Separation Bridges: Borings at the intennediate bents may be
terminat,ed if 25-blow count or better ma.terial is found throughout the first 20
feet of material below the proposed footing elevation. However. one boring
every 300 feet (with a minimum of one boring at one of the intermediate
bents) should be drilled deeper accordins to the criteria shown below. If the
borings have not encountered 25-blow count or better material within the first
25 feet of the ground surface, then use the following Standard Penetration
Test (SPT) criteria as a guideline to terminate the borings. Also use this
criteria for borings at the endbents:
Depth of Material
SPT Greater Than
20 feet
2S feet
30 feet
35 feet
45 feet
40 blows
35 blows
30 blows
25 blows
20 blows
Ifvoids or .other erratic fOW1dation conditions are encountered, notify the engineer
in charge of the project as soen as possible.
B. Sampling GuideJin~
1. At bridge endbents, perfarm SPT tests at 5-fa.ot intervals, beginning at a depth of
5 feet. At intermediate bents, perfonn SPT tests at 2V2-feot intervals beginning at
5 feet llJ1d for 10 feet thereafter, and then at 5-feot intervals thereafter. Save all
samples in a clean sample jar, and mark all jar boxes with the project number and
county, boring number, bridge location and dato.
2. Note the type ofbit(s) used thr.ough.out the bering. When drilling hard rock layers
.or boulders, alsa note the time t.o drill through these materia.ls.
3. When coring rock as noted in Item A.3 above, .obtain a 10-feet care run unless
otherwise directed by the engineer. Tf the rock is very poor quality, and is

fractured and weathered, an additional core run may be required. Note the time
spent on coring each run. Save all core runs and label the boxes ""ith the project
number and county, boring number, depths and date. It is strongly recommended
not to break core runs to fit into boxes. However, if long boxes are not readily
available and cores must be broken to fit into shorter boxes, note the locations of
the breaks on the core boxes and on the drilling logs.
4. Obtain 24-hour gToundwater elevations on at least two of the boring!> at each
bridge site.
5. If soft layers of clay or plastic silt are found at the endbent borings. push at least
two Shelby tubes at or near the center of the soft layer(s) 50 that consolidation
tests can be perfonned on the samples. Mark the tube with the project nwnber and
county, the boring number, the depth of the sample, and the date
C. Special Notes
1. Obtain the ground elevations at each boring by using the TBM shown on the
preliminary layout. If there is no TBM shown, use an assumed elevation shot
from the centerline of the beginning or end of the bridge.
2. In addition to all dril11ng and sampling data, each boring Jog should contain the
project number and county, the date, the bridge location, the driller's name, the
type of drill used (truck-mounted Failing 250, CME 550 on ATV, etc.), the
drilling method used (auger, rotary, ete.), the groundwater elevation and all other
notes relevl:Lnt to the subsurface conditions.
3. After growldwater checks are made, all boring holes should be filled in (and
patched if made in a travel lane or paved shoulder) and the site left in good
condition. Drill cuttings and all other spoils should be cleaned off any paved
areas.
4. Note any other additional infonnatlon or problems, such as old foundations, rock
outcrops, erosion problems, stream channel migration, etc. that would be helpful
in the foundation design or construction of the bridge.

l. For MSE walls. if the proposed footing is more than 5 feet below the existing
ground, perform SPT tests at 5-foot intervals from the ground line to the proposed
wall footing, beginning at a depth of 5 feet At the footing elevation, perform SPT
tests at 2lh-foot intervals for the next 10 feet and at 5-foot intervals thereafter.
Save all samples in a clean sample jar, and mark all jar boxes with the project
nwnber and county, boring number, bridge location and date.
2. Note the type ofbit(s) used throughout the boring. When drilling hard rock layers
or boulders, also note the time to drill through these materials.
3. Obtain 24-hlJur groundwater elevations on at least one ofthe borings at each watt
site. lfthe borings are dry, indicate this on the boring logs.
4. If soft layers of clay or plastic silt are found at the borings, push at least two
Shelby tubes at or near the center of the soft layer(s) so that consolidation tests
can be perfoTTTlcd on the samples. Mark the tube with the project number and
county, the boring number, the depth of the sample, and the date.
C. Special Sotes
1. Obtain the ground elevations at ~aeh boring by using the TBM shown on the

A. Cut SectioDS
1. Drilling Intervals
a. Drill borings on the centerline and in the ditchline(s) of the side(s) to be widened
(if widening is about both sides. drill both ditchlines) at 300-foot intervals along
the project alignment. If the pr,.,ject is only a 2-laDe road, drilling at the centerline
may only be required.
b. Drill to a depth oftive feet below the proposed grade line.
c. When rock its encountered, drill borings at 1 DO-foot intervals in the centerline and
(left and right) ditchline(s). If the rock elevation is relatively unifonn. continue
with this interval. If rock elevations are not uniform, drill at 50-foot intervals.
d. Note if the rock is layered or weathered, if there are boulders or rock outcrops,
and if drilling is hard or easy through the rock, or if practical refusal is reached.
e. EstimC-'.te what will move the rock- a bulldozer, ripper, light blasting or hea\)'
blasting.
f If large quantities of rock are found above grade on large areas of the 'project.
notii)' the engineer immediately. (The project designer may consider raising the
grade under cenain conditions.) Some rock cores may be required by the engineer
to determine if the rock slopes could be cut steeper than 2: 1.
2. Sampling Requirements
a. At each drilling interval, take a minimum 1 S to 20-pound bag sample for every
la-foot depth., or at ~ch different soil strata, whichever comes first. Sample the
centerline first, and if the material on the left and risht sides appears to be the
same as at the centerline. no additional sampling ~t that drilling interval ".ill be
necessary. Mark the samples to be tested for 810.01.

leave at least one driU bole unfilled but covered (for safety reasons) for each ;cut.
and, make a 24-hour check of the groundwater table. MBke a note what depth the
groundwater was encountered and the time checked after drilling, or if DO
groundwater was found. or if the boring caved and what depth it caved at.
b. If the projec:t is in any of the following counties. take a water sample and mark it
to be tested for corrosion series: Bartow, Carroll, Cherokee, Fannin.. Gilmer.

widened (if the ~idening is about both sides, or on new location, drill both sides)
at SOD-foot intervals along the project alignment. However. if there are visible,
significant changes in the material t)'pe that may cause settlement problems with
the roadway, drilJ at a frequency sufficient to represent the changes in material. If
the project is only a bridge replacement or bridge ~;denjng, driJl at 200-foot
intervals. Refer also to item 2-d for additional information. If the project is a 2-
lane section v.ith low fills (5 feet or less) and there are no unstable soils at the toe
of the slopes as detennined by probing, driJling at the centerline may only be
required.
b. Drill to a d(:ptb of five feet below the existing ground. However, if soft or
unstable soils are found. drill to the bottom of these soils. (See also item c.)
c. When muck (very soft, organic silty clay or plastic silt) or other areas of very soft
soils are encountered, drill or probe with hand tools at 1 DO-foot intervals on the
centerline, le1!\ and right sides if the depth oftbe muck is relatively uniform. If not
uniform, drill or probe at SO-foot intervals on the centerline, left and right sides.
d. If any landfills or trash dumps are found on the proposed alignment. notify the
engineer immediately.

2. Sampline: Rlequirements
a. At each drilling interval, take 8 minimum 15 to 20-pound bag sample. Sample the
centerline fi:rs~ and if the material on the left and right sides appears to be the
same as at the centerline. no additional sampling at that drilling interval win be
necessary. If the material on the side(s) is, significantly different., however. take a
sample of it Mark the samples to be tested for 810.01. Refer also to item d,
however.
b. If the projec:t has little or no cuts, take a minimum 40-pound bag sample at 4000-
foot intervals on the centerline. Mark the samples to be tested for.soil sup~rt.
c. If the projcc:t crosses areas of muck or very soft and/or wet soils. take Several
samples and store in a sealed plastic bag. Mark the samples to be tested for
moisture COI1le11~ organic content and Unified classification.
d. On projects with relatively long sections (2000 feet and l'onger) of high fills (15
feet and higher), some of the drilling and sampling requirements may be reduced
by the engineer if the ground is stable as detennined by probing. The engineer
should provide guidelines for these situations.
3. Groundwater
If the project crosses a lake, pond, 's\.Wmp, or other inundated area, the bonom of
these areas must be probed to check for soft material, mQ several samples of the soils
on the bonom taken. The samples may be stored in a plastic bag. Mark these samples
to be tested for Unified classification.
c. Special ~otes for All Projects
1. Make notes on any wells even if they are shown on the plans. Note the Station
number, offSet from centerline, size, approximate depth, type of well (drilled.
brick-lined, ,concrete-lined, etc.) and the approximate water level.
2. If any landfills or trash dumps are found during drilling, notify the engineer
immediately. '
3. Make notes on any springs, even if they arc shown on the plans. Note the Station
number, offset from centerline, direction of flow, and whether the spring appears
to flo\\.' year round, or is a wet-weather spring only. '
4. Note ifthe.re are any wet-weather ditcbes, swamps or low wet areas on the project
alignment
S. Note any heavily forested areas in which large amounts of soil stripping will be
required.
6. Note the location of any trash piles, buildings or building foundations, caves or
limesinks. .
7. Note if the project \\ill pass tlu:ough residential or commercial areas which have
buildings thHt will be relatively close to new construction. or buildings that are in
poor condition that may be affected by vibrations from construction equipment.

8. ~ maximun:1 of ten MIter samples should be taken on each project at stream
crossings or large cross-drain pipes. Mark the samples to be tested for corrosion
series. If the streambeds are dry, take a plastic bag sample, and mark it to be
'tested for corrosion series.
9. Note the sizg, type and condition of all cross-drain and other exposed pipes. Note
also if the pipe is either partially or completely blocked by silt.
10. Note the type and condition of the pavement, and if there are any industries such
as sawmills, truck stops, rock quarries, paper MiUs, etc. that would have frequent
heavy truck traffic. .
J 1. Record all uid.ormation in a bound field book, and turn in the book with the project
plans after completion.
] 2. Note any other problems or additional information that would be helpful in the
foundation design or construction oftbe roadway.
