PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposed Colerain Road/ CR 90 typical section is two 12-foot lanes in each direction

separated by a 20-foot raised median. The purpose of this Revised Concept Report is to change

the urban shoulder section from 4-foot bike lanes and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides to a 10-foot

multi-use path on the north side and a 5-foot sidewalk on the south side of proposed Colerain

Road as a cost savings measure while meeting Camden County's bike route system requirements

for Colerain Road. The rural shoulder section from 2664 feet west of I-95 to relocated Brazell

Road is changed to an urban section to eliminate the need for barrier separation between the

travel lanes and the multi-use path on the proposed bridge over I-95. The rural shoulder section

from 3800 feet west of Winding Road is changed to an urban section. Thesubstantial residential development planned for this area would use the sidewalks to the nearby

county high school. The rural shoulder section for 440 west of Winding Road to 1500 feet east of Kings Bay Road would remain but implementation of Value Engineering Study alternatives changed the typical section from 4-foot bike lanes and 10-foot shoulders (6’6” paved and 3’6” grass) to 10-foot shoulders consisting of a 4-foot bake lane and 6-foot grass strip in each direction.

ENVIRONMENTAL

GENERAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMMENTS:

The Environmental Resources Impact Table (Environmental Resources Impact Table) will be coordinated with the project's Environmental Commitments Table and other plan notes to illustrate the restrictions associated with various environmental resources. The responsibility for inserting the table into the plans will rest with the designer, and its content and accuracy will be confirmed by the NEPA analyst who is responsible for environmentally certifying the project. The table shall be included in the General Notes section of all plans beginning with projects that have field plan reviews scheduled for September 1, 2010, and later and/or projects that are scheduled to be let in November 2010 or later. All Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) flags on plan sheets shall be changed to read "ESA - See Environmental Resources Impact Table in General Notes for construction restrictions." The ESA notes shall be placed on ALL plan sheets where an ESA exists.

05-XXX TYPICAL SECTIONS

General Comments

GDOT has defined the Safety Edge as the standard treatment for the outside edge of all uncurbed pavements whether edge of travel lane or shoulder (excluding pavement behind guardrail). If it is not practical to provide the Safety Edge, then a decision to omit shall require a comprehensive study by an engineer and the prior approval of a Design Variance from the GDOT Chief Engineer. The Safety Edge placement should be noted on the construction plan typical sections, with reference to GDOT Construction Detail P-7 for details and method of quantity calculation. Verify that Safety Edge treatment is referenced throughout Typical Sections accordingly.

MAAI will verify that Safety Edge treatment is referenced throughout Typical Sections. MAAI will label both sides of applicable typical section and delete the label “Typ”.

Remove the R/W information as it is shown as varies and does not convey any useful information.

MAAI will remove all R/W information from typical sections.

Flag/note what material is to be placed between the curb & gutter and sidewalk.

MAAI will Flag and add to Required Pavement Depths Legend what material to be placed between the curb & gutter and sidewalk. FFPR plans call for grassing.

Provide left turn detail.

MAAI will provide left turn detail(s).

Why is a 3:1 front slope specified on the right side of the typical section and a 4:1 is specified on the left side or vice versa even though the Revise Concept Report specifies 4:1 will be used. For example see Typical section No.3 and 4 on Drawing No. 05-002.

As the proposed roadside ditch depth increases the 4:1 slope(s) are steepened to 3:1 to minimize the impacts to the properties.

Per the GDOT Pavement Design Manual, if paving material is supplied from Florida or soil cement, top soil or other soil bases are used, then showa Square Yard measure for payment if weighing is inconvenient. IfSquare Yard measurement is specified, the typical section shall beclearly dimensioned along the top finished surface and dimensionsnoted as the “Width of Payment.” Show the GAB Pay Limits for each applicable Typical Section.

Per the GDOT Pavement Design Manual, MAAI will showa Square Yard measure for paving material, soil cement, top soil and other soil bases used. The typical section shall beclearly dimensioned along the top finished surface, dimensionsnoted as the “Width of Payment.” and GAB Pay Limits labeled for each applicable Typical Section.

Drawing 05-001

Label P7 the left side shoulder for consistency since both sides have the proposed pavement labeled.

MAAI will label both sides of applicable typical section and delete the label “Typ”.

Graphically Typical Section No. 2 is shown as superelevated section but on the Mainline Plan Drawing No. 13-001 is specified as normal crown. See Curve Data No. 1.

MAAI will verify typical section line work represents a normal crown roadway section and revise if necessary.

Drawing 05-002

Revise Typical Section No. 3 to end and begin at the Begin Bridge/End Bridge not approach slabs (STA 41+77.19 not STA 41+47.19 & STA 44+70.19 not STA 45+00.09).

MAAI will revise Typical Section No. 3 to end and begin at the Begin Bridge/End Bridge not approach slabs (STA 41+77.19 not STA 41+47.19 & STA 44+70.19 not STA 45+00.09).
