We understand that the project will include reconstruction of the south parking lot and construction of a new 20 stall parking lot adjacent to the existing north parking lot. Subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by drilling and sampling a total of two (2) soil borings B-1 and B-2 to a depth of 15 and 5 feet below the existing ground surface, respectively. A brief summary of the investigational findings are as follow: 1. Based on our field investigation, the subsurface soils are presented below: Borg B-1. The subsurface soils at the site generally consist of stiff to hard high plasticity clays to a depth of approximately 14.5 feet followed by limestone to the termination depth of 15 feet below the existing ground surface. Limestone fragments were encountered at a depth of about 2 to about 8 feet below the existing ground surface. Boring B-2. The subsurface soils at the site generally consist of loose clayey sands at the top 2 feet followed by firm to very stiff low plasticity clays with sand to the termination depth of 5 feet below the existing ground surface. 2. Groundwater Conditions. Groundwater was not encountered in any of the borings during the drilling operations. However, it should be noted that groundwater levels might fluctuate seasonally and with other climatic conditions. 3. The sulfate and chloride analyses revealed that the total sulfate and chloride contents generally less than 1,000 ppm may not be considered problematic with regard to acceleration and enhancement of heave. 4. Pavement design recommendations were provided for a rigid concrete pavement. 5. Based on our boring logs, the natural subgrade generally consists of low to medium high plasticity clays. We recommend stabilizing the first 8 inches of the subgrade soil beneath the proposed pavement with 8% of lime for estimation purposes. We recommend that the exact amount of stabilization be determined on the exposed subgrade during construction. Please note that this executive summary does not fully relate our findings and opinions. Those findings and opinions are only presented through our full report. no EW 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Project Description HVJ Associates, Inc. was retained by Talley Associates, Inc. to provide geotechnical services for the proposed reconstruction of parking lot at Prairie Dog Park in Fort Worth, Texas. The project _. involves reconstruction of the south parking lot and construction of a new 20 stall parking lot adjacent to the existing north parking lot. We also understand that the reconstruction of the south parking lot will involve milling and resurfacing the existing asphalt paving. A site vicinity map is presented on Plate 1. The purpose of this geotechnical investigation is to provide geotechnical information for the proposed parking improvements. 2.2 Geotechnical- Investigation Pro am The primary objectives of this study were to gather information on subsurface conditions at the site and to provide recommendations for the proposed reconstruction of parking lot at Prairie Dog Park. The objectives were accomplished by: ` 1. Drilling two (2) soil borings to determine soil stratigraphy and to obtain samples for laboratory testing, 2. Performing laboratory tests to determine physical and engineering characteristics of the soils; and u Subsequent sections of this report contain descriptions of the field exploration, laboratory -testing program and general subsurface conditions. 3 FIELD INVESTIGATION 3.1 Geo _e hnical Borings The field exploration program undertaken at the project site was performed on March 16, 2009. Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling a total of two borings; one 15-foot and one 5- foot below the existing ground surface. A site plan showing the approximate boring locations is presented on the Plan of Borings, Plate 3. 3.2 Soil samples were obtained continuously to the maximum termination depth of the borings. Cohesive soil samples were obtained with a three-inch thin -walled (Shelby) tube sampler in general accordance with ASTM D-1587 standard. Each sample was removed from the sampler in the field, carefully examined and then classified. The shear strength of the cohesive soils was estimated by a hand penetrometer in the field. Suitable portions of each sample were sealed and packaged for transportation to out laboratory. The rock encountered was evaluated by Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) cone penetration tests. Detailed descriptions of the soils encountered in the borings are given on the boring logs presented on Plates 4 and 5. A key to the soils classification and symbols used in the boring logs is also presented on Plates 6 and 7. 3.3 Water Level Measurements Groundwater levels in the borings were observed during and after completion of drilling. The water levels measured during drilling are reported on the boring logs, which are presented on Plates 4 and 5. 4 LABORATORY TESTING 4.1 Geotechnical Laboratpry Testing, Selected soil samples were tested in the laboratory to determine applicable physical and engineering ` properties. All tests were performed according to the relevant ASTM Standards. These tests consisted of moisture content measurements, pocket penetrometer, Atterberg limits, unconfined compression, dry unit weight, sulfate, chloride and pH analysis tests. The Atterberg limit tests were utilized to verify field classification by the Unified Soils Classification System. The hand penetrometer and unconfined compression tests were performed to obtain the undrained shear strength of the soil. Sulfate and chloride analysis test results were utilized to determine the problematic levels of sulfates and chlorides in the surficial soils. The type and number of tests performed for this investigation are summarized below: Type of Test Number of Tests Moisture Content (ASTM D2216) 9 Atterberg Limits (ASTM D4318) 3 Percent Passing No. 200 Sieve (ASTM D1140) 3 Hand Penetrometer 10 Unconfined Compression (UC) (ASTM D2166) 3 Dry Unit Weight (ASTM D2166) 3 Sulfate and Chloride Analysis (EPA 300) 1 pH Analysis (EPA 9045Q 1 " The laboratory test results are presented on the boring logs on Plates 4 and 5. Sulfate, chloride and pH analysis test results are presented in Appendix A. 5 SITE CHARACTERIZATION "I a . rem J, According to the University of Texas at Austin, Bureau of Economic Geology "Geologic Atlas of F Texas Dallas Sheet," the project site area is described as being in the area of Lower Cretaceous Formation. The site area is generally represented by Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone undivided (map symbol Kgm). The Grayson Marl mostly consists of clay and marl, blocky, yellowish gray to medium gray; some 0.25-1.0-foot limestone beds in the upper one-third, very fine grained; weathers. The Main Street Limestone, medium grained, chalky, some 6-8-foot units of calcareous shale, thin bedded to massive, yellowish gray; weathers. A geology map is presented on Plate 2. 2 5.2 Soil Stra..�, Our interpretation of soil and groundwater conditions at the project site is based on information obtained at the boring locations only. This information has been used as the basis for our conclusions and recommendations. Significant variations at areas not explored by the project boring may require reevaluation of our findings and conclusions. Boring B-1. The subsurface soils at the site generally consist of stiff to hard high plasticity clays to a depth of approximately 14.5 feet followed by limestone to the termination depth of 15 feet below the existing ground surface. Limestone fragments were encountered at a depth of about 2 to about 8 feet below the existing ground surface. Boring B-2. The subsurface soils at the site generally consist of loose clayey sands at the top 2 feet followed by firm to very stiff low plasticity clays with sand to the termination depth of 5 feet below the existing ground surface. Details of the subsurface stratigraphy encountered in the borings are shown on the boring logs presented on Plates 4 and 5. Groundwater was not encountered during the drilling operations. However, it should be noted that groundwater levels might fluctuate seasonally and with climatic conditions. •• 5.4 Sulfatc, Chloride and pH Andysis Test Results The results of sulfate and chloride analysis based on test method E300 and pH analysis based on 9045C test method performed on in -situ moist sample are presented below. Boring No. Depth (feet) Total Sulfate Total Chloride pH (ppm) (ppm) (pH Units) B-1 and B-2 0-2 47.0 50.0 7.14 The sulfate and chloride analyses revealed that the total sulfate and chloride contents generally less than 1,000 ppm may not be considered problematic with regard to acceleration and enhancement of heave. 6 PAVEMENT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 General We understand that the project will involve the reconstruction of the existing south parking lot including milling and resurfacing the existing asphalt pavement and construction of a new 20 stall parking lot adjacent to the existing north parking lot. Flexible pavement designs are being MW considered for this project The design recommendations presented in this report were developed in accordance with the "AASHTO Guide for Design of Pavement Structures", 1993 Edition. r N 6.2 Existin Pavement Thickness The existing pavement was cored at existing south parking lot at boring location B-2 prior to the drilling operations. The core data revealed that the existing pavement generally consists of 3 inches of asphalt. 6.3 Flexible Pavement The design procedure for determining the thickness for flexible pavements was performed based on an extension of the algorithms that were originally developed from the AASHTO Road Test. The categories required for the design of pavement includes: (a) design variables, (b) performance criteria, (c) pavement structural characteristics, (d) material properties for structural design, Parameters relative to these categories are discussed below. affic Load and Desijg2Period. We have estimated pavement thickness for different annual traffic loading conditions for a design life of 25 years. Reliability Level and Overall Standard Deviation. A reliability level (R) of 95 percent was selected for the pavement design performance. A mean value of the overall standard deviation (So) was selected to be 0.44 for flexible pavement. Serviceability. The serviceability of a pavement is defined as its ability to serve the type of traffic that uses the facility. The condition of the pavement after the performance period is characterized by a Terminal Serviceability Index (P), which is a function of the pavement structure. We recommend that a Terminal Serviceability Index of 2.5 be used for all pavements. Since the time at which a given pavement structure reaches its terminal serviceability depends on traffic volume and the original or initial serviceability (P.), some consideration also must be given to the selection of Po. As obtained at the AASHTO Road Test, a Po value of 4.5 was selected. Drainngc. The treatment for the expected level of drainage for a rigid pavement is through the use of a drainage coefficient, Cd. A Ca value of 1.3 was selected for good quality of drainage. We have assumed that good quality drainage will be used on this project. Effective Modulus of Subs ade Reaction. We have estimated a subgrade resilient modulus (MR) of 2,000 psi. These values were used in conjunction with structural layer coefficients for flexible pavements to obtain the following recommended sections for flexible pavement for different traffic loading conditions. Condition 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ESAL per year 1,000 2,500 5,000 10,000 15,000 20,000 25,000 ESAL per 25 years (Growth 0%) 25,000 62,500 125,000 250,000 375,000 500,000 625,000 Structural No. 2.19 2.54 2.84 3.16 3.37 3.52 3.64 North Parking Lot Lime treated Base (in) 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 Asphalt (in) 3.5 4.5 5 5.75 6.25 6.75 7 South Parking Lot Mill (in) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Asphalt Overlay (in) 2 3 3.5 4.25 4.75 5 5.5 M 6.4 Preparation of Subgtade The subgrade soils for the pavement generally consist of fat clays. We recommend that at least eight inches of the subgrade be stabilized as discussed in this section. Stabilization of the subgrade should increase the modulus of subgrade reaction and provide subgrade stability for construction during inclement weather. In addition, subgrade stabilization should enhance long-term pavement performance by reducing the tendency of the soil to displace by pumping. We recommend the following procedures for subgrade preparation. 1. Clear the existing pavement section. 2. Strip the surface soil to suitable depths. In areas where soft, compressible or loose soils are encountered, additional stripping may be required. Stripping should extend a minimum of two feet beyond the edge of the proposed pavement where possible. 3. Surfaces exposed after stripping should be proof -rolled in accordance with TxDOT Standard Specification Item 216 or equivalent. If rutting develops, tire pressures should be reduced. The purpose of the proof -rolling operation is to identify any underlying zones or pockets of soft soils and to remove such weak materials. If backfill is required, the fill material should be prepared as described earlier in this report 4. Scarify the upper eight inches of exposed surface as required, mix with at hydrated lime and compact it to 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698). We estimate that approximately eight percent (69/6) hydrated lime (by dry weight) will be needed for the mix. The exact amount of hydrated lime should be determined by running lime -series tests on the exposed subgrade during construction. R_ �._ :_soil Structural fill required to replace in -situ material beyond the pavement limits or to raise the design grade should consist of lean silty or sandy clay with a liquid limit less than 40 and a plasticity index between 7 and 20. Fill material that is used should be placed in loose lifts not exceeding eight inches and should be compacted to 98% of the maximum dry density as determined by ASTM D 698. 7 LIMITATIONS This investigation was performed for the exclusive use of Talley Associates, Inc. for the proposed reconstruction of parking at Prairie Dog Park in Fort Worth, Texas.

Moisture 2. Decayed or undecayed vegetation 3. Hardpan clay, heavy clay, or clay balls 4. Rubbish 5. Construction rubble - 6. Sand or gravel 7. Rocks, cobbles, or boulders 8. Cementious matter ` 9. Foreign matter of any kind B. Unsuitable materials will be disposed of as "waste" as specified in Section 02200. C. Wet Material: If fill material is unsatisfactory for use as embankment solely because of high moisture content, the Architect/Engineer may grant the Contractor permission to process the material to reduce the moisture content to a usable optimum condition. EARTHWORK 02300 -2- or PART 3 - EXECUTION 3.01 SITE PREPARATION: In general, "site preparation," as specified in Section 02200, shall be performed in advance of grading and earthwork operations and shall be completed over the 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. D. 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. EARTHWORK 02300 -3- no 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 subgrade elevation for the entire width of the area under construction and shall _ be backfilled with suitable materials as indicated on the plans. 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, conditioning, 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 s 02300 -4- dw 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 DENSITY CONTROL ME 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. B. Earth Embankment Under Structures and Pavement: The top six (6") inches of natural _ earth comprising the subgrade for structural slabs or for areas of pavement shall be ninety five percent (95%) to ninety eight percent (98%) of Standard Density ASTM EARTHWORK 02300 -5- D698 with the moisture content at minus two percent (2%) to plus four percent (4%) of optimum moisture content. 3.06 MOISTURE MAINTENANCE: The specified moisture content shall be maintained in all embankments that are to function as subgrade for structures, areas of pavement, or for select _ embankment. After completion of the embankment, the Contractor shall prevent excessive loss of moisture in the embankment by sprinkling as required. Loss of moisture in excess of two percent (2%) below optimum in the top twelve inches (12") of the fill will require that the top twelve inches (12') of the embankment be scarified, wetted, and recompacted prior to placement of the structure, select fill or pavement. If desired, the Contractor may place an asphalt membrane of emulsified or cutback asphalt over the completed embankment and thus , eliminate the sprinkling requirement. 3.08 TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT: Topsoil shall be carefully placed to avoid any displacement or Y damage to the subgrade. If any of the subgrade is rutted, damaged or displaced it shall be restored prior to placing topsoil. Topsoil shall be replaced as specified herein per Item 3.02.
