ACTIVITY: Revise initial line and grade for intermediate (50%) design consists of the steps below.

  1. Incorporate comments from 30% review
  2. Develop responses to 30% review comments
  3. Update Typical Sections
  4. Update Roadway geometric design
  5. Develop approach road design
  6. Develop pullouts and parking area design
  7. Develop' worst case' construction and clearing limits

Step 1 (Weight: 25)

Description: Incorporate comments from 30% review

Step 2 (Weight: 10)

Description: Develop responses to 30% review comments

Step 3 (Weight: 10)

Description: Update Typical Sections

  • Update roadway templates (lane, shoulder, curve widening, foreslope, ditch, median, curbs, etc.) and subexcavation.
  • Update the typical section limits - (clear zone, topsoil, seeding, clearing, construction)
  • Update the structural section - (in conformance with the Pavement Selection Team decision)

Step 4 (Weight: 30)

Description: Update Roadway geometric design

  • Provide final line and grade for final TS&L
  • Complete the horizontal and vertical alignments
  • Update planimetric design features
  • Paved ditches, curb, etc.
  • Complete design exception portion of WFLHD-3.
  • Update the Roadway Cross Sections

Step 5 (Weight: 10)

Description: Develop approach road design

  • Revise horizontal and vertical for approaches
  • Create/Update plan and profile sheets
  • Develop major intersection plans
  • Update cross sections.

Step 6 (Weight: 10)

Description: Develop pullouts and parking area design

  • Revise layouts
  • Develop proposed curb and gutter, sidewalks, and parking stalls
  • Adjust grades for proper drainage
  • Verify design meets ADA requirements

Step 7 (Weight: 5)

Description: Develop' worst case' construction and clearing limits

Develop' worst case' construction and clearing limits based on 1, 2, 3, and 4 above. This will be used for permits, R/W and utility work.
