<br />1.2.6 Attend a minimum of2 meetings with the Texas Department of Transportation ("TxDOT") <br />for coordination of the proposed improvements and for obtaining preliminary review comments. <br />Any proposed signalization improvements will be completed by TxDOT. <br /> <br />Geotechnical Investigation <br /> <br />1.2.7 Perform a geotechnical investigation to explore the subsurface soil conditions in the general <br />areas of new pavement construction and field and laboratory testing to aid in characterizing soil <br />conditions. The Engineer will use this information to provide a pavement section thickness design. <br />In addition, Engineer will obtain and analyze information regarding the existing pavement and base <br />course thickness and will provide recommendations for overlay as required. <br /> <br />1.2.8 Drill five exploratory test borings to a depth of 5 feet within the road right-of-way. Borings <br />will be terminated by the Engineer if rock is encountered prior to achieving a depth of five feet. <br />Engineer will sample subsurface soil continuously from the ground surface to a depth of five feet <br />below grade. <br /> <br />1.2.9 Coordinate underground utility locating services through "One-Call" and obtain the necessary <br />permits and traffic control for drilling with the roadway. <br /> <br />1.2.10 Perform laboratory tests on soil samples obtained from the field exploration to include; <br />unconfined compression tests, Atterberg limit tests, moisture content tests, grain size analyses, and <br />California Bearing Ratio tests. In addition, these soil tests will be classified by a qualified <br />Geotechnical engineer in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System. <br /> <br />1.2.11 Present results of the field and laboratory studies in a formal report that will include a site <br />plan, boring logs and test results. The Engineer will perform engineering analyses and include the <br />following in the Geotechnical report: <br /> <br />a) A summary of the existing site conditions; <br />b) A discussion of subsurface conditions at the boring locations; <br />c) Pavement section thickness design recommendations based on the City of Austin Street <br />Design Regulations; and, <br />d) Subgrade preparation and earthwork recommendations. <br /> <br />u.s. Fish and Wildlife Service Coordination <br /> <br />1.2.12 Attend one project kick-off meeting at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in Austin <br />to discuss and describe the proposed project improvements. <br /> <br />1.2.13 Attend one initial consultation follow-up meeting with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and <br />the City at the project site. <br /> <br />Loop 82-Sessom Drive.wpd <br /> <br />3 <br />
