In addition to the contract cost, associated contingency funding for construction inspection, project
management, and possible change orders is $102,990.00 . There will be no annual budget impact
associated with this project, and construction is anticipated to commence in early March 2009 and be
completed by early July 2009.
2L Construction , LLC , is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 18 percent
M/WBE participation . The City's goal on this project is 17 percent.
The Fort Worth Bicycling Association (FWBA) has requested that the City Council consider naming the
trailhead at Clear Fork Park in memory of Art Cowsen, a long time member of the association . Mr.
Cowsen is remembered as a long time participant and advocate of cycling not only in Fort Worth but
across the state. Mr. Cowsen joined the FWBA in 1984 at the age of 33 and was one of a very few
African American members in the club. Through his efforts, the FWBA reached out to those groups
who traditionally did not participate in the sport of cycling and as a result the club now includes a
significant minority membership. Advocacy by FWBA and Mr. Cowsen generated support for and
contributed significantly to the development of the City's bike trail system . As a member of the FWBA,
Mr. Cowsen served as President, Vice President and Rides Coordinator. He was recognized on
several occasions as "Rider of the Year" and that award has now been renamed the "Art Cowsen Rider
of the Year Award".
Streams and Valleys , Inc., has also sent a letter of support for naming the trailhead in memory of Art
Cowsen and have agreed to partner with the FWBA to submit an application to the Neighborhood Park
Development Grant Program for additional trailhead improvements. Their proposed improvements
include enclosures for the portable toilets, signage and a bypass trail to separate cyclist traffic from the
more heavily used amenities surrounding the trailhead.
At their December 17, 2008, meeting, the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board voted to
endorse staffs recommendation to City Council to name the trailhead at Clear Fork Park in memory of
Art Cowsen .
Oakmont and Clear Fork Parks are located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 3.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds will be available in the current capital budget, as
appropriated , of the Park Improvements Fund.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS
OAKMONT PARK, FORT WORTH -TEXAS
1. PROJECT INFORMATION
The project consists of three (3) pre-fabricated pedestrian bridges located at Oakmont Park is located at the
Oakmont park (intersection of Oakmont and Bellaire) in southwest Fort Worth, Texas. A geotechnical
investigation is required to aid the design and construction team for this project.
2. PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF INVESTIGATION
The scope of the required investigation is outlined as follows:
1. Perfonn drilling and sampling to explore the subsurface conditions at the site, and determine
the presence of groundwater and its effect on foundation installation.
2. Evaluate the pertinent engineering properties of the subsurface materials.
3. Recommend suitable types of foundation systems, bearing depths and design parameters, and
support for the proposed bridge.
4. Provide recommendations for site grading and drainage, including the use of on site materials
as fill, fill replacement, compaction and recommend requirements for off-site borrow material, if
required.
5. Preparation of a geotechnical report with conclusions and summaries of the information
referenced above.
3. FIELD OPERATIONS
On October 19, 2007 two test borings were drilled at bridge locations A and B. Bridge location C was not
accessible to the drill rig. The borings were drilled to a maximum depth of 20 feet at the approximate
locations shown on the Boring Location Diagram in the Appendix.
A truck-mounted auger-drilling rig was used to advance these borings and to obtain samples for laboratory
evaluation. Undisturbed samples of cohesive soil were obtained at intermittent intervals with standard, thin-
walled, seamless tube samplers. These specimens were extruded in the field, logged, sealed and packaged
to protect them from any disturbance and loss of in-situ moisture content during transportation to our
laboratory.
Foundation bearing properties of the bedrock shale formations were evaluated using the Texas Highway
Department (THD) Cone Penetrometer test. This test consists of determining the penetration of a 3-inch
diameter cone driven with an approximate energy equivalent of a 170-pound hammer falling 24 inches .
The results of the boring program are presented on the Logs of Borings in the Appendix.
4. LABORATORY TESTING
Samples, obtained during our field exploration, were examined at our laboratory by the Project Geotechnical
Engineer. Representative samples of the soil were selected under the supervision of this engineer for
laboratory testing.
The in-situ dry unit weight and moisture content of the samples were determined and used in conjunction
with the Atterberg Limit tests for the determination of the Plastic and Liquid Limit to evaluate the potential
volumetric change of the expansive clay strata. The results of these tests were also used to evaluate the
uniformity of the material.
The shear strength of the cohesive soils was evaluated by means of unconfined compression tests. All the
results of our laboratory testing are presented on the Logs of the Boring and other data sheets in the
Appendix.

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS
OAKMONT PARK, FORT WORTH -TEXAS
5. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
The subsurface conditions encountered during drilling of the borings are presented on the Logs of the
Borings in the Appendix.
5.1. SITE GEOLOGY AND SOIL STRATIGRAPHY
Based on our local experience and available subsurface geology maps, this site is situated on an outcrop of
the Fort Worth Limestone and Denton Clay Formation undivided. This formation is typically characterized by
alternating layers of calcareous clay and marl overlying a weathered limestone and/or gray shale.
At this park, variable layers of clay and shaley clay strata underlain by and shale were encountered from the
existing grades to the maximum depths explored. Accurate descriptions and details of the various strata
encountered, their depths and thicknesses are presented on the corresponding Logs of Borings in the
Appendix.
5.2. GROUNDWATER
The borings were advanced using continuous flight augers allowing relatively accurate measurements of the
groundwater levels. Groundwater seepage was not encountered during drilling of the borings. However, it
must be noted that groundwater conditions can vary with seasonal fluctuations in the precipitation.
5.3. ENGINEERING PROPERTIES
5.3.1. SOIL PLASTICITY
Plasticity Indexes of samples obtained from clay strata range from 35 through 40 percent. We have
estimated the effective plasticity index of the clay strata to be on the order of 35 percent.
5.3.2. SOIL MOISTURE AND DRY DENSITY
The in-situ moisture contents of these samples range from 15 through 25 percent. We have estimated the
effective dry unit weight of the clay strata to be on the order of 105 to 115 pcf.
5.3.3. SOIL STRENGTH
We have estimated the unconfined compressive strength of the clay strata to be on average 3,000 psf.
5.3.4. POTENTIAL VERTICAL RISE
Based on the Texas Highway Department Test Method Tex-124-E, the on-site clays exhibit a heave potential
of up to 3.0 inches, for dry conditions.
6. SUMMARIES AND CONCLUSIONS
Based on available information provided by our test borings, laboratory testing, our observations, all the
information available to us from the client, and all other sources mentioned in this report we provide the
following comments and conclusions:
6.1. SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Soil test borings were drilled at only bridge locations A and B. Bridge location C was not accessible to the
drill rig. It is our opinion that the encountered soil conditions are a fair representative of the site . Should
any conditions other than those described in this report be encountered, our office should be notified so
that further investigations and supplemental recommendations, if required, can be provided.
The subsurface conditions encountered at this project site are generally consistent with those anticipated
based on the site geology and our experience in this area. Groundwater seepage was not encountered
during drilling of test borings.

OAKMONT PARK, FORT WORTH -TEXAS
6.2. BEARING CAPACITY
Based on field test data we have estimated and recommend the following net allowable bearing capacities:
DEPTH [FT] SOIL DESCRIPTION BEARING CAPACITY* [PSF] SKIN FRICTION* [PSF] UPLIFT* [PFS]
0-10 Tan Brown Clay (CH} 3,000 1,700 1,500
10-17 Tan Brown Clay (CH} 3,000 1,800 1,200
17-20 Gray Shale 4,000 2,000
* The estimated bearing capacity includes a safety factor of three .
7. RECOMMENDATIONS
After review and analysis of our field exploratory information, laboratory test results of the obtained
samples, data provided by the client, and available information from all other sources mentioned in this
report, we provide the following recommendations:
7 .1 . QUALITY CONTROL
Based on our experience on numerous projects, we have established that the project owner is served well, if
the Geotechnical Engineer of Record, who performed the geotechnical investigation and who has insight of
the characteristics of existing on-site soil conditions and their complexities, is retained to provide quality
control testing and inspection for foundation/pier installation, subgrade compaction/stabilization and other
construction materials such as concrete, asphalt, steel, geosynthetic fiber reinforcement etc.
7 .2. BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS -DRILLED SHAFTS
7 .2.1. ALLOWABLE BEARING CAPACITY FOR DRILLED SHAFTS
A foundation system consisting of drilled and underreamed reinforced concrete shafts would be the most
positive means of preventing structural movement due to these volume changes. These shafts should be
founded at a minimum depth of 10 feet below the existing ground surface or finished grade, whichever is
deeper.
These shafts should be proportioned using a net allowable bearing pressure of 3,000 pounds per square
foot. This allowable bearing value contains a safety factor of 3. Variations in the foundation soils supporting
the shafts and moisture induced volume changes could result in some minor movements, estimated to be
less than 2.0 inches. Differential settlement is anticipated to be less than one-half of the total settlement.
The shafts will experience tensile loads as a result of post construction heave in the clay soils. The
magnitude of the loads is rather indeterminate and will vary with the in-situ moisture levels at the time of
construction. They can be approximated at this site by assuming a uniform uplift of 1,500 pounds per
square foot over the shaft perimeter for a depth of 10 feet.
The base to shaft diameter ratio must be between 2 and 3 to 1 to provide adequate anchorage against
potential uplift loads induced by heaving in the overlying clays. This tensile loading should be carried by
sufficient vertical reinforcing steel, which is continuous throughout the piers. In order to develop full uplift
load capacity, the shafts should have a minimum center-to-center spacing of 3 times the diameter of the
larger underream. Closer spacing may require some reduction in uplift capacity and/or changes in

GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS
OAKMONT PARK, FORT WORTH -TEXAS
installation sequence . This firm should be contacted to review , on a case -by-case basis, shafts requir ing
closer spacing .
7 .2 .2. LATERAL loAD RESISTANCE
We recommend an ultimate passive earth pressure resistance of 2,500 pounds per square foot (psf} for the
drilled shafts bearing against the clays . The allowable passive earth pressure resistance should include a
factor of safety of 2.0 or more .
7.2.3. CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS FOR DRILLED SHAFTS
A minimum shaft diameter of 16 inches is recommended for all drilled shafts in order to facilitate shaft
clean-out. Groundwater seepage could be encountered during installation of some of the shafts, particularly
if construction proceeds during a wet period of the year.
In most cases, rapid placement of concrete and steel will permit shaft installation to proceed; however, the
seepage rates could be sufficient to require the use of temporary casing. In those instances where casing is
required, it should be seated below the water seepage with all water and most loose material removed prior
to beginning the design penetration. Care should then be taken that a sufficient head of plastic concrete is
maintained within the casing during extraction.
The design penetration of individual shafts should be excavated in a continuous operation and concrete
placed as soon as practical after completion of the drilling. No shaft should be left open for more than 8
hours. All drilled shaft installations should be carefully inspected by experienced geotechnical personnel to
help verify the bearing stratum, the design penetration, and perform related duties.
The concrete should have a slump of 6 inches plus or minus 1 inch. The concrete should be placed in a
manner to avoid striking the reinforcing steel and walls of the shaft during placement. Allowable bearing
capacity recommendations provided in this report are based on proper construction procedures, including
maintaining a dry shaft excavation and proper cleaning of bearing surfaces prior to placing reinforcing steel
and concrete .
7. 3. BRIDGE ABUTMENT CONSIDERATIONS (IF REQUIRED}
The proposed retaining walls should be designed to resist the expected lateral earth pressures. The magnitude
of lateral earth pressure against retaining walls is dependent on the method of backfill placement, the type of
backfill soil, drainage provisions, and whether the wall is permitted to yield after placement of the backfill. It has
been demonstrated that when a wall is held rigidly against horizontal movement, the lateral pressure aga inst the
wall is greater than the normally assumed active pressure. Yielding walls can be designed for active earth
pressures while rigid walls should be designed for higher at-rest lateral earth pressures. The recommendations
provided herein assume that the walls are non-yielding (rigid}.
7 .3 .1. WALL BACKFILL
We recommend that a clean, relatively well-graded granular material consisting of either a sand or a sand and
gravel mixture be used as select backfill against the wall. The material should have less than 5 percent passing
the No. 200 sieve and less than 30 percent passing No . 40 sieve. For such materials , an in-place unit weight of
120 pct and a friction angle of 30° can be assumed.
7.3.2. EQUIVALENT FLUID PRESSURES
For assumed drained, non-yielding walls , a coefficient of lateral earth pressure at-rest (Ko} equal to 0.4
(equivalent fluid unit weight of 48 pct} can be used if the select granular backfill is dumped into place. For
compaction to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density (ASTM D 698}, a coefficient of lateral earth pressure
at-rest of 0.5 (equivalent fluid unit weight of 60 pct} is recommended .
TSIT 4 PROJECT NO . 507 -027
7.3.3 . COMPACTION CONSIDERATIONS
GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FOUNDATIONS
OAKMONT PARK, FORT WORTH -TEXAS
The effects of surcharge loading must also be taken into consideration. The at-rest {Ko) coefficient of earth
pressure should also be assumed for this case. The component of lateral earth pressure due to surcharge
loading can also be computed as to reduce the possibility of increases in lateral pressures due to
overcompaction, it is recommended that compaction of backfill adjacent to walls be accomplished using light
weight hand controlled vibrating-plate compactors . Heavy compaction equipment should not be operated within
five feet of the wall. It is also recommended that compaction of backfill soils behind walls not exceed 100
percent maximum dry density (ASTM D 698) to further limit lateral earth pressures.
7 .3.4. DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS
We recommend that drainage be provided behind the wall to prevent development of hydrostatic pressures. The
select backfill should extend at least 18 inches upward and outward from the base of the wall on 1 {horizontal)
to 2 {vertical) slope. Where shoring is installed, the space between the shoring and the abutment should be
backfilled with free-draining granular fill.
Seepage into the wall backfill should be collected in perforated or slotted drainpipe placed at the base of the
wall and discharged into a storm drain. The drain pipe should be surrounded with at least 6 inches of free
draining aggregate as course or coarser than ASTM C-33 Size No . 57 or 67 coarse concrete aggregate with no
fines passing No. 200 sieve. The perforations or slots in the drainpipe should not allow the aggregate to
migrate into the pipe. The drainpipe should have sufficient strength to prevent collapse due to the overburden
pressures. If fine concrete sand is used for wall backfill, a non-woven filter fabric should be placed around the
coarse aggregate to help prevent the loss of the finer soil fraction . Suitable fabrics include Mirafi 140NL, Amoco
4545 or equivalent.
8. LIMITATIONS
All geotechnical investigations are limited in that the recommendations are developed from the information
obtained specifically in the small-diameter test borings which depict subsurface conditions at the particular
location and time designated on the boring logs. Subsurface conditions at other locations may differ from
those observed at nearby boring locations . The nature and extent of variations between the borings may not
become evident until the course of construction . If significant variations then appear evident, it will be
necessary to re-evaluate the recommendations of this report after performing on-site observations during
the construction period and noting the characteristics of any variat ion .
Should any conditions other than those described in this report be encountered, our office should be
notified so that further investigations and supplemental recommendations, if required, can be provided.
The recommendations provided in this report were based on our understanding of information about the
characteristics of the project, which was provided by the client. If the client notes any deviation from the
facts about the project characteristics or if the nature of the proposed project has changed, our office should
be contacted immediately since this may materially alter the content of our design recommendations.
This investigation and study was performed in accordance with generally accepted geotechnical engineering
principles and practices. This company is not responsible for the conclusions, opinions or recommendations
made by others based on this data. The information contained in this report is intended for the exclusive use
of our client. In the event that any changes in the location, nature, or design of the project are made, the
conclusions and recommendations in this report should not be considered valid until the changes are
reviewed, and conclusions and/or recommendations are modified or verified by our office .
The reproduction of this report, or any part thereof, supplied to persons other than the owner, should
indicate that this study was made to guide the restoration efforts of the proposed structure only. This report

entire area of earthwork operations .
3.02 TOPSOIL
A . The removal and storage of topsoil shall occur after site preparation is complete and
before excavation and embankment construction begin. Likewise, topsoil will be
replaced after excavation and embankment construction are complete.
B . Removal: Topsoil shall be stripped to an average depth of six inches (6") from areas
where excavation and embankment construction are planned. Topsoil may be obtained
from greater depths if it is uncontaminated by the substratum and it is of good quality,
in the opinion of the Architect/Engineer.
C . Storage: Topsoil shall be stored in stockpiles conveniently located to areas that will
later receive the topsoil. Stockpiles shall be out of the way of earthwork operations in
locations approved by the Owner or Architect/Engineer. Stored topsoil shall be kept
separate from other excavated materials and shall be protected from contamination by
objectionable materials that would render it unsuitable.
D. Timing: Topsoil will not be replaced (deposited) until construction activities are
complete that would create undesirable conditions in the topsoil, such as
overcompaction or contamination. Trenching for items such as electrical conduit and
irrigation pressure lines must be complete before topsoil replacement may begin.
E. Replacement: Topsoil will be deposited in a single layer or lift. It will be placed,
processed, compacted, and graded to leave a finished layer of topsoil not less than five
inches in depth. Unless otherwise indicated, topsoil will be replaced over all areas of
earthwork (including slopes), except where pavement is planned.
F. Grading: Topsoil will be final graded to the elevations shown on the plans. Fine
grading will be accomplished with a weighted spike harrow, weighted drag, tractor box
blade, light maintainer, or other acceptable machinery. All particles of the finish grade
shall be reduced to less than one inch in diameter or they shall be removed. All rocks of
one inch or greater shall also be removed. Grading operations and equipment will be
such that topsoil does not become overcompacted. Bulldozer blades and front-end
loader buckets are not acceptable devices for topsoil grading operations. Final grading
within five feet of constructed or installed elements shall be hand raked.
G. Acceptability: Finished areas of topsoil are satisfactory if they are true to grade, true in
plane, even in gradient (slope), uniform in surface texture, and of normal compaction.
Areas of loose granular pockets or of overcompacted soils are not acceptable and will
be reworked. Finished areas will promote surface drainage and will be ready for
turfgrass planting.

3.03 UNCLASSIFIED EXCAVATION
A. All excavated areas shall be maintained in a condition to assure proper drainage at all
times, and ditches and sumps shall be constructed and maintained to avoid damage to
the areas under construction.
B. Surplus Material :
1. Surplus excavation is that quantity of material that may be left over after the
grading plan is executed, and all earthwork operations, including excavation,
embankment construction, topsoil replacement, and final grading, are
completed. Any other surplus material shall be disposed of as "waste" as
specified in Section 02200. All such cost for removal shall be considered as
incorporated into Earthwork costs
C. Excavation in Rock: The use of explosives will not be permitted. Unless otherwise
indicated on the plans, excavation in solid rock shall extend six inches ( 6") below
required sub grade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall
be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans.
3.04 EARTH EMBANKMENT
A. Earth embankment is defined as embankment composed of suitable materials removed
in unclassified excavation and/or imported fill. The construction of embankment
includes preparing the area on which fill is to be placed and the depositing,
conditio~g, and compaction of fill material .
B . General: Except as otherwise required by the plans, all embankment shall be
constructed in layers approximately parallel to the finished grade of the graded area, and
each layer shall be so constructed as to provide a uniform slope as shown on the grading
plan. Embankments shall be constructed to correspond to the general shape of the
typical sections shown on the plans, and each section of the embankment shall
correspond to the detailed section or slopes established by the drawings. After
completion of the graded area, embankment shall be continuously maintained to its
finished section and grade until the project is accepted.
C. Preparation: Prior to placing any embankment, all preparatory operations will have
been completed on the excavation sources and areas over which the embankment is to
be placed. The subgrade shall be proof rolled to detect soft spots, which if exist, should
be reworked. Proof rolling shall be performed using a heavy pneumatc tired roller,
loaded dump truck, or similar piece of equipment weighing approximately twenty five
(25) tons except as otherwise specified for tree protection and areas inaccessible to
vehicular compactors. Stump holes or other small excavations in the limits of the
embankments shall be backfilled with suitable material and thoroughly tamped by
approved methods before commencing embankment construction. The surface of the
ground, including plowed, loosened ground, or surfaces roughened by small washes or
otherwise, shall be restored to approximately its original slope by blading or other
methods, and, where indicated on the plans or required by the Owner, the ground
surface, thus prepared, shall be compacted by sprinkling and rolling.
EARTHWORK
02300
-4-
D. Scarification: The surface of all areas and slopes over which fill is to be placed, other
than rock, shall be scarified to a depth of approximately six ( 6") inches to provide a
bond between the existing surface and the proposed embankment. Scarification shall be
accomplished by plowing, discing, or other approved means. Prior to fill placement, the
loosened material shall be adjusted to the proper moisture content and recompacted to
the density specified herein for fill.
E. Benching: Scarification is normally adequate for sloping surfaces. However, in certain
cases where fill is to be placed against hillsides or existing embankment with slopes
greater than 4: 1, the Owner may direct the Contractor to key the fill material to the
existing slopes by benching. A minimum of two feet (2 ') normal to the slope shall be
removed and recompacted to insure that the new work is constructed on a firm
foundation free of loose or disturbed material.
F. Depositing: Fill material shall be placed in horizontal layers or lifts, evenly spread, not
to exceed eight (8") inches in loose depth before conditioning and compaction. Unless
otherwise permitted, each layer of fill material shall cover the length and width of the
area to be filled and shall be conditioned and compacted before the next higher layer of
fill is placed. Adequate drainage shall be maintained at all times.
G . Watering: At the time of compaction, the moisture content of fill material shall be such
that the specified compaction will be obtained, and the fill will be firm, hard, and
unyielding. Fill material which contains excessive moisture shall not be compacted
until it is dry enough to obtain the specified compaction. ·
H. Compacting: Each layer of earth fill shall be compacted by approved tamping or
sheepsfoot rollers, pneumatic tire rollers, or other mechanical means acceptable to the
Owner. Hand-directed compaction equipment shall be used in areas inaccessible to
vehicular compactors.
I. Grading: Embankments shall be constructed in proper sequence and at proper
densities for their respective functions. All embankment serves in one capacity
or another as subgrade ( e .g., under topsoil, under concrete and asphalt pavement,
under structures, etc.). Accordingly, the upper layer of embankment shall be
graded to within plus or minus 0.10 foot of proper subgrade elevation prior to
depositing topsoil, and prior to the construction of pavements, slabs, etc .
3.05 DENSITYCONTROL
A. Earth Embankment in General: Earth embankment shall be compacted in lifts at a
minimum of ninety percent (90%) of Standard Density ASTM D698 with plus four
percent (4%) or minus two percent (2%) percentage points of optimum moisture
content.

approved by the Engineer.
Backfill against a waterproofed surface shall be placed carefully to avoid damage
to the waterproofing material.
Mechanical tampers or approved compacting equipment shall be used to
compact all backfill and embankment immediately adjacent to each side of the
culvert and over the top of the culvert until it is covered to a minimum depth of
one foot. The backfill within four feet of each side of the culvert shall be placed in
lifts of eight inches or less (loose depth). Heavy compaction equipment shall not
be operated in this area or over the culvert until it is covered to a depth of one
foot.
Lightweight dozers and graders may be operated over culverts having one foot of
compacted cover, but heavy earth moving equipment (larger than a D-4 Dozer
weighing in excess of 12 tons and having track pressures of eight psi or greater)
shall require two feet of cover unless the design cover is less than two feet. In no
case shall equipment operating in excess of the design load (HS20 or HS25) be
permitted over the culvert unless approved by CON/SPAN .
Any additional fill and subsequent excavation required to provide this minimum
cover shall be made at no additional cost to the project.
As a precaution against introducing unbalanced stresses in the culvert and
wingwalls, when placing backfill at no time shall the difference between the
heights of fill on opposite sides of the culvert exceed 24".
Backfill in front of wingwalls shall be carried to ground lines shown in the plans .
