Elk ,. River
TO: Park and Recreatio Commission
FROM: Michele McPherso"r'irector of Planning
DATE: January 10, 2001
SUBJECT: Review and Approve Trail Construction Standards
Request
The Commission is asked to review and approve a proposed trail construction
standard for the construction of bituminous off-street trails.
Attachments
• • Bituminous Trail Typical Section
• Pedestrian Curb Ramps for Trails
• Aggregate Mixture
• Thickness and Surface Smoothness Requirements
• Longitudinal Deviation
Analysis
Staff has prepared the attached trail cross section and pedestrian curb ramp
details for inclusion in the City's construction standards manual. These
standards would be presented to developers for inclusion in their construction
documents for the construction of off-street bituminous trails. These drawings
and information reflect discussions conducted with staff and Commission Dave
Anderson. We believe that these are manageable and cost-effective standards
for trail construction.
In order to maintain these standards and to insure proper installation, trail
construction will be discussed as part of all pre-construction meetings and with all
developers. Contractors will also be required to arrange inspection of the sub
grade, aggregate base, and wear-course installation as well as restoration with
superintendent Phil Hals.
The typical trail section drawing will be revised to eliminate the point in the
transition area between the trail and the side slopes.

• Plant Mixed Asphalt Pavement
Sections 2331 and 2340 of the Standard Specifications are deleted and replaced with the
following;
2350.1 DESCRIPTION
This work consists of the construction of one or more pavement courses of hot plant mixed
asphalt-aggregate mixture on the approved prepared foundation, base course or existing
surface in accordance with the specifications and in conformity with the lines, grades,
thicknesses and typical cross sections shown on the plans or established by the Engineer.
2350.2 MATERIALS
A-Aggregate
Al General Requirements
The aggregate blend used in the work shall conform to the requirements of Section 3139, as
revised following this provision, for the particular material specified, except as hereinafter
otherwise or additionally stipulated. Class B aggregate will not be allowed in the final lift of
roadways with traffic levels over 10 million, 20 year design ESAL's.
A2 Aggregate Gradation for Asphalt Mixtures
• The combined aggregates, including mineral filler when required, shall conform to the following
gradation requirements.

B Additives
An additive is any material added to a asphalt mixture or material, such as mineral filler,
hydrated lime, asphalt additives, antistrip, and similar products that do not have a specific pay
item. When a Contract requires additives, compensation is included with the pay items for the
appropriate mixture. If the Engineer directs the Contractor to incorporate additives, the
•
Trench rollers shall be self propelled and have a mass of not less than 4400 kg per meter (2960
III lb per ft) of width.
C5 Mixture Temperature Controls
If compaction is obtained by the ordinary compaction method, the minimum laydown
temperature in all courses (as measured behind the paver or spreading machine) of the asphalt
mixture shall be in accordance with the temperature requirements of Table 2350 - 11.

(B) A minimum of one pneumatic-tire roller shall be used for intermediate rolling unless
otherwise directed by the Engineer.
The Engineer may specify or modify in writing (with concurrence from the Bituminous Engineer)
• a minimum laydown temperature.
2350.7 Thickness and Surface Smoothness Requirements
A Thickness
After compaction the thickness of each course shall be within a tolerance of 6 mm (1/4 in) of the
thickness shown in the Plans, except that, if automatic grade controls are used, this thickness
requirement will not apply to the first course placed. This thickness requirement will not apply to
a leveling course whether or not automatic grade controls are required. Any part of any course
that is constructed to less than the minimum required thickness may be removed and replaced
at the discretion of the Engineer.
On that portion of any course constructed to more than the maximum permissible thickness, the
materials used in the excess mixture above that required to construct that portion of the course
to the Plan thickness plus 6 mm (1/4 in) will be excluded from the pay quantities and may
require removal and replacement at the discretion of the Engineer.
Cores taken for density determination shall be measured for thickness also. Each core shall be
measured 3 times for thickness prior to sawing. Report the average of these three
measurements. Each lot's average core thickness shall be documented and submitted to the
Engineer. If the average of the two Contractor cores exceed the specified tolerance, an
additional two cores may be taken in the lot in question. The average of all core thickness
• measurements per course will be used to determine compliance with thickness specifications.
A profilogram will be made for each segment of 15.24 m (50 ft) or more. The profilogram will
0 include the 4.57 m (15 ft) at the ends of the section only when the Contractor is responsible for
the adjoining surface.
End of run areas not included in the profilograph trace and any sections of pavement less than
15.24 m (50 ft) in length shall be checked longitudinally with a 3.028 m (10 ft) straight edge and
the surface shall not deviate from a straight line by more than 3 mm in 3.028 m (1/8 inch in 10
ft).
The profile trace and index for each segment of pavement must be furnished to the Engineer
within 48 hours after each days run. Identification of all bumps and dips, with signature of the
Operator shall be included with the submitted trace.
For each day's run, an evaluation will be submitted to the Engineer within five days after
pavement placement. The evaluation submitted shall include identification of segments which
may qualify for less than 100 percent payment, segments that qualify for incentive payment and
segments to be corrected.
The Contractor will be responsible for all traffic control associated with the smoothness testing.
Any portion of the project may be tested if the Engineer determines that the Contractor's test
results are in question. If results are found to be inaccurate, the Contractor will be charged at a
rate of $155.34 per lane km ($250 per lane mile) that is retested, with a minimum charge of
$500.00. If the results are found to be accurate, the Department will be pay the Contractor at a
rate of$155.34 per lane km ($250 per lane mile) that is retested, with a minimum charge of
• $500.00.
C4 Profile Index
The profilograph trace will be evaluated by the Contractor for the profile index (PI) in
accordance with California Method 526 on file with the Bituminous Engineer. The original trace
shall be provided to the Engineer for verification of the Contractor's evaluation.
A profile index shall be calculated for each segment. The index will be determined by summing
the vertical deviations outside a 5 mm (0.2 in) blanking band. The units of this index are mm per
km (inch per mile). When there is a segment of 76.2 m (250 ft) or less in length, the profilograph
measurements for that segment shall be added to and included in the evaluation of the adjacent
section to that segment.
Bumps and dips exceeding 10.2 mm in a 7.62 m (0.4 inch in a 25 ft) span shall be identified
separately.
C5 Surface Correction
All areas represented by deviations of 28 mm (1.1 in) or more, as measured by the 7.62 m (25
ft) profilograph, will be corrected by the Contractor.
The Contractor may elect to correct dips or bumps of 10.2 to 25 mm (0.4 to 1.0 in) in a 7.62 m
(25 ft) span. The Contractor will be assessed a penalty for dips or bumps of 10.2 to 25 mm (0.4
• to 1.0 in) that are not corrected. Bumps and dips not corrected will also be included in the
