II. Training
The Contractor shall have individuals trained to input work-zone information into VDOT’s proprietary LCC/LCI system, currently LCAMS and VaTraffic, on a weekly basis and to update as needed. These individuals shall be able to speak, understand, read, and write English, and be able to operate a computer. No advanced computer skills are needed to use the LCAMS or VaTraffic systems. The Contractor shall have a computer with internet connectivity and email capability.
The Contractor shall contact the Regional TOC Work Zone Lane Closure (LCAMS/VaTraffic) Coordinator to initiate system access and schedule training, when necessary. VDOT requires a 10 business-day notice to schedule classroom training for LCAMS. The Contractor’s designated individuals shall complete the courses Introduction to VaTraffic, VaTraffic Reports, VaTraffic Planned Events, and VaTraffic Work Zones. LCAMS and VaTraffic training for the individuals shall be completed prior to the Notice to Proceed date.
III. Lane Closure Process
1. Lane Closure Coordination Process. All lane closures shall be entered as precisely as possible into the Lane Closure Advisory Management System (LCAMS) and VaTraffic no later than 8 AM on Thursday of the week prior to the planned lane closure, and updated as needed. For the purposes of this Special Provision, a week starts on Sunday. If this submission deadline changes (e.g., for weeks involving a holiday), the CO will notify the Contractor at least one week in advance. Final approval for the lane closure will be issued by the CO. All fields in LCAMS and VaTraffic must be properly filled out.
A. Point of Contact. The data fields labeled “Requesting Org POC” in LCAMS and “Point of Contact” in VaTraffic shall contain the name and email address of the person physically entering the request into LCAMS.
B. Conflict Resolution. LCAMS will identify and flag most conflicts, and will automatically assign priority as first-come, first-serve. The Contractor has the right to contact the higher-priority party and attempt resolution with them, provided the Contractor submits the final resolution to the CO no later than 5 PM on Thursday of the week prior to the planned lane closure. The CO will handle all unresolved conflicts between requests and other events according to the priorities listed below, with the highest priority item first. If some or all requests involved in the conflict are the same priority level, conflict resolution will be on a first-come, first-serve basis.
(1) Emergency Work. Work that if not done “will result” in damage to a motorist vehicle or infrastructure, or danger to public health and safety.
(2) Lower Priority Items Previously Delayed. Work that while considered a lower priority, if perpetually delayed could result in severe consequences.
(3) Urgent Work. Work that if not done “may result” in damage to the motorist vehicle or infrastructure, or danger to public health and safety.
(4) Contractual Obligated Work. Work that is expected to be accomplished “on-time, on-budget”.
(5) Weather Dependent Work. Work that is dependent on the temperature and clear or dry conditions.
(6) Routine Maintenance Work. Work that is routine in nature that can be rescheduled and moved around, within limits, without undue risk.
C. The request shall be supported by the Schedule of Record, and the CO may deny requests which are not. The Contractor will be allowed to request lane closures to accommodate potential weather delays.
D. The Contractor may revise his entries in LCAMS and VaTraffic after the Thursday deadline subject to the approval of the CO and the conflict resolution requirements herein.
2. Lane Closure Implementation Process. The Contractor shall notify the Regional TOC no later than 15 minutes, but no earlier than 45 minutes, prior to installing the lane closure, or no later than 15 minutes prior to scheduled start time if lane closure is delayed or canceled. The Contractor shall notify the TOC and update VaTraffic of any changes in lane-closure impact during the execution of work. The Contractor shall notify the Regional TOC no later than 15 minutes after the lane is reopened to traffic.
3. Emergency Lane Closure. If an Emergency Lane Closure is required, the Contractor shall coordinate directly with the TOC regarding the lane closure as soon as the location and size of the lane closure is known. An Emergency Lane Closure is defined as road work which could not have been anticipated and is required to protect the public from immediate, severe harm, and has a priority as defined by Section III-1B(1).
IV. Measurement and Payment
Lane closure coordination will not be measured or paid for separately, but the cost thereof shall be included in the price of other items.

SPECIAL PROVISION FOR
STORMWATER MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
September 26, 2016
I. DESCRIPTION
These specifications cover miscellaneous stormwater facility items and structural components.
II. DETAIL REQUIREMENTS
(a) UNDERDRAINS (Media Pipe Drains) shall be 4-inch or 6-inch rigid schedule 40 PVC pipe conforming to ASTM F758, Type Ps 28 or ASTM F949. Underdrains shall be perforated, except for the last 5-ft section of pipe if connected directly to a storm sewer drainage structure, with 4 rows of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) holes with a hole spacing of 3.25 + 0.25 inches (82.5 + 6.4 mm) or a combination of hole size and spacing that provides a minimum inlet area greater than 1.76 square inches per linear foot (37.2 cm2/m) of pipe or be perforated with slots 0.125 inches (3.2 mm) in width that provides a minimum inlet area greater than 1.5 square inches per linear foot (31.8 cm2/m) of pipe.
Pipe joints and storm sewer drainage structure connections shall be sealed watertight. Pipe sections shall be coupled with suitable connection rings and flanges, gaskets, or another construction adhesive. Turns and connections used in the underdrain network shall consist of standard commercially-available PVC fittings. Field connections to storm sewer drainage structures and pipes shall be sealed with polymer grout material that can adhere to surfaces.
Underdrain pipe shall be capped (at structure) until completion of site work. Underdrain pipes shall be spaced at a maximum of 20 feet apart laterally, unless otherwise indicated on the plans.
Observation wells, or clean-outs, consisting of an anchored 4-inch or 6-inch diameter perforated PVC pipe fitted with a lockable cap shall be installed flush with the ground surface, where shown on the plans. Clean-outs shall be placed such that the entire underdrain network may be readily cleaned. If herbaceous cover is specified as part of the design plans instead of mulch ground cover, a metal stake, extending 2-3 feet vertically from the ground surface, shall be used to mark the clean-outs to prevent mower damage during maintenance operations.
Gaskets shall conform to Section 212.02(h) of the Specifications.
(b) LEVEL SPREADERS:
1) Gravel Diaphragms are created by excavating a 2-foot wide and 1-foot deep trench that runs on the same contour at the top of the filter strip (perpendicular to flow entering the practice and parallel to the contours). The diaphragm first acts as a pretreatment device, settling out sediment particles before they reach the facility then acts as a level spreader, maintaining sheet flow as runoff flows over. Gravel diaphragms are constructed of No. 1 aggregate conforming to Section 203 of the Specifications.
• The flow should travel to the practice as sheet flow and then drop at least 2 inches onto the gravel diaphragm. The drop helps to prevent runoff from running laterally along the pavement edge, where grit and debris tend to build up and allow runoff to by-pass the treatment facility.
• A layer of non-woven geotextile filter fabric, conforming to Section 245 (c) of the Specifications, shall be placed between the gravel and the underlying soil trench.
2) Engineered Level Spreaders (ELS) shall conform to the following:
• Forebays shall have a minimum depth of 12 inches. A forebay is not necessary if the concentrated flow is from the outlet of an extended detention basin or similar facility.
• The length of the level spreader should be determined by the type of filter area and the design flow.
• The minimum level spreader length is 13 feet and the maximum is 130 feet.
• The level spreader lip should be concrete, wood, pre-fabricated metal, or other durable non-erodible material with a well-anchored footer. The contractor shall submit samples of the pre-fabricated metal or durable non-erodible material to the Engineer for approval before installation.
• The ends of the level spreader section should be tied back into the slope to avoid scouring around the ends of the level spreader.
• The width of the level spreader channel on the up-stream side of the level lip should be three times the diameter of the inflow pipe, and the depth should be 9 inches or one-half the culvert diameter, whichever is greater.
• The level spreader lip should be placed 3- to 6-inches above the downstream natural grade elevation to avoid blockage due to turf buildup. In order to prevent grade drops that re-concentrate the flows, a 3-foot wide section of No. 1 aggregate, underlain by filter fabric, should be installed just below the spreader to transition from the level spreader to natural grade.
• Vegetated receiving areas down-gradient from the level spreader must be able to withstand the force of the flow coming over the lip of the device. It may be necessary to stabilize this area with a soil stabilization mat (VDOT EC-3) if the area has not been fully and permanently stabilized before directing runoff to it.
(c) CHECK DAMS type, size, and materials shall conform to the plans unless otherwise directed by the Engineer.
1) Check dam (Type 1) shall be constructed of timber railroad ties or lap-spliced 6x6 pressure treated lumber conforming to Section 236 of the Specifications.
2) Check dam (Type 2) shall conform to Section 302 of the Specifications and shall be constructed of riprap or aggregate as required to withstand hydraulic forces. Aggregate shall conform to Section 203 of the Specifications and riprap shall conform to Section 204 of the Specifications.
3) Check dam (Type 3) shall be constructed of cast-in-place concrete conforming to Section 217 of the Specifications.
Stone splash pads shall be provided at the downstream side of all check dams in accordance with the plans and specifications.
Check dams shall be firmly anchored into the side-slopes, embedded or armored 2-3 feet on both sides. Check dams shall also be embedded into the channel bottom a minimum of 6 inches.
The maximum check dam height should be 12 inches. Each check dam should have a weep hole or similar drainage feature so it can de-water after storms.
(d) NON-WOVEN GEOTEXTILE FILTER FABRIC used within BMP systems for drainage and subdrainage shall be consistent with VDOT Drainage Fabric requirements contained in Section 245.
(e) EARTHEN BERMS WITH CUTOFF TRENCHS may be used to separate forebays from treatment practices or to separate treatment cells within one facility. Berms shall consist of suitable clay material, with side slopes no steeper than 2:1. Berms shall be keyed in 1 foot below the surrounding ground surface. The clay core shall be centered under the berm crest and extend vertically downward 4 feet. The side slopes from the bottom of the berm to the bottom of the clay core shall be 1:1. Berms shall be compacted per Section 303.04 of the Specifications. Earthen berms may be armored with riprap or aggregate, if indicated on the plans.
(f) RIPRAP BERMS may be used to separate forebays from treatment facilities or to separate treatment cells within one facility. Such berms shall consist of a Class I riprap core with 2:1 side slopes built on a riprap pad having a minimum thickness of twice the D50. The riprap pad shall extend a minimum of 5 feet beyond the toe of the berm core, and shall be underlain by nonwoven geotextile filter fabric, keyed in 2 feet into the adjacent ground surface. A choker layer of aggregate shall be installed on the upstream face of the berm with a 3:1 slope, as well as across the crest of the weir in the berm (if indicated on the plans).
(g) INFILTRATION AND SOIL TESTING is required to assess soil infiltration, defined as the rate at which stormwater enters the soil.
Facilities equipped with underdrains shall be tested using an infiltration screening test. Native soil facilities shall use field determination of soil infiltration.
Infiltration field tests (i.e., permeability or hydraulic conductivity tests) shall be conducted at the most restrictive layer between the bottom elevation of the proposed infiltration facility and 4 feet below the bottom or two times the maximum potential water depth in the facility, whichever is greater. For example, permeability tests for a bioretention basin with a proposed bottom elevation 6 feet below the existing surface with a maximum potential water depth of 4.5 feet should be conducted at the most restrictive layer between a depth of 6 feet and 15 feet below the existing ground surface. Alternately, permeability tests for a bioretention basin with a proposed bottom elevation 3 feet below the existing surface with a maximum potential water depth of 1.5 feet should be conducted at the most restrictive layer between a depth of 3 feet and 7 feet below the existing ground surface.
When performing exploration for infiltration and soil testing, samples of the most restrictive layer shall be returned to a VDOT approved laboratory for Texture Class determination. Such samples shall be classified per the USDA soil classification system. The laboratory shall complete ASTM D 422 grain-size distribution, including hydrometer evaluation of sand-, silt- and clay-size particles. The grain-size distribution shall be interpreted using USDA size ranges for sand, silt and clay. USDA size classifications for sand ranges from 0.05 to 2.0 mm, for silt from 0.002 to
0.05 mm and clay is finer than 0.002. The USDA grain-size distribution data shall be plotted on the USDA texture class triangle for classification.
Where the stormwater infiltration facilities are near fractured bedrock, there should be a minimum of two feet of soil between the bottom of the infiltration facility and the bedrock. Where the permeability rate of the bedrock is critical to basin function, the design engineer shall demonstrate that appropriate testing methods (such as a Basin Flood Test – Appendix A) are used to establish the permeability rates of the infiltration BMP. The number of permeability tests for fractured bedrock shall be no less than the tests required for the permeability in the soil.
The following tests are acceptable for use in the determining soil infiltration rates. The Geotechnical Report for the facility shall include a detailed description of the test method and published source references.
• Tube permeameter Method (ASTM D 2434, note that this test is only for soils with fewer than 10 percent materials finer than 0.075 mm)
• Double-Ring Infiltrometer (ASTM D 3385, note that this test requires a table-top-size excavation to the target depth)
• Basin Flooding Test for Bedrock (note that this test requires a 50 sf excavation to the target depth, refer to the appendix)
• Other constant-head permeability tests that use in-situ conditions and accompanied by a recognized published source reference (e.g., USBR 7300-89)
When evaluating the infiltration rate only for the benefit of determining the need for an underdrain (i.e., the infiltration rate is not a factor in stormwater routing), the field infiltration rate can be determined using the falling-head method referenced in Appendix B. Such field infiltration rate shall be accompanied with an appropriate field exploration program and USDA texture classification.
All soil evaluations, including test profile pits, soil borings and permeability tests shall be conducted under the supervision of a Professional Engineer licensed to practice engineering in the Commonwealth of Virginia or a Professional Geologist certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia.

APPENDIX A - PROCEDURES FOR BASIN FLOODING TEST
A Basin flooding test can be used to establish the permeability rates of bedrock in accordance with the procedures below. The basin flooding test shall not be conducted in rock strata that have been blasted with explosives.
A. EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
The following equipment is required for performing a Basin flooding test:
• Excavating equipment capable of producing a test basin as prescribed in “B” below;
• A water supply (minimum of 375 gallons per basin filling); and
• A means for accurately measuring the water level within the basin as required in “C” below.
B. TEST BASIN PREPARATION
The test basin shall be prepared in accordance with the following:
• A test basin meeting the following requirements shall be excavated within or immediately adjacent to the area of concern.
• The bottom area of the basin shall be a minimum of 50 square feet.
• The bottom of the basin should be made as level as possible so that high areas of rock do not project above the water level when the basin is flooded as prescribed in “C” below.
• If groundwater is observed within the test basin, the basin flooding test shall not be used.
C. BASIN FLOODING TESTING PROCEDURE
The following procedure shall be used to conduct the Basin Flooding test:
• Step One: Fill the test basin with exactly 12 inches of water and record the time. Allow the basin to drain completely. If the time required for the basin to drain completely is greater than 24 hours, the test shall be terminated and the limiting zone in question shall be considered to be a massive rock substratum.
• Step Two: If the basin drains completely within 24 hours after the first flooding, immediately refill the basin to a depth of 12 inches and record the time. If the basin drains completely within 24 hours of the second filling, the limiting zone in question shall be considered to be fractured rock substratum. If water remains in the basin after 24 hours, the limiting zone in question shall be considered to be a massive rock substratum.
D. PERMEABILITY RATE DETERMINATION
A design permeability rate shall only be used if the basin drains completely within 12 hours while performing Step Two described in “C” above. The design permeability rate used shall be 0.5 in/hr.
Appendix B - Infiltration Testing for Underdrain Evaluation
The following procedure for falling-head infiltration testing is only appropriate to assess the infiltration rate and subsequent need for underdrain. Specific requirements are as follows:
• Drill two borings adjacent to the initial test pit or boring, each at an offset of greater than 5 feet, and to the top of the previously-identified, “most restrictive layer” identified within 4 feet of the proposed facility’s invert elevation. The diameter of the boring shall be at least 2-inches in diameter larger than the test casing (see below). Remove any loose material from each boring.
• Install a solid casing 3 to 5 inches in diameter to the bottom of each boring. A 2-inch thick layer of coarse sand or fine gravel may be placed at the bottom of the boring to prevent scouring and sedimentation.
• Provide bentonite chips in the annular space between the outside of the casing and the borehole sidewalls. Provide a minimum 12-inch thick interval of bentonite in this annular space. Hydrate the bentonite by adding water to the annular space. Provide cuttings from the drill hole above the bentonite.
• Fill standpipe with water to a height of at least 2 feet above the bottom of the casing, and allow pre-soaking for 24 hours. 24 hours later, refill standpipe to a height of 2 feet and monitor the water level at 10 minute intervals for the first hour and hourly thereafter for 3 additional hours or until the standpipe runs out of water. Record the water level readings and the drop in inches during the infiltration tests.
• Determine the infiltration rate associated with each time reading. As an example, if the water drops 0.3 inches in the first 10 minutes, the calculated infiltration rate would be 1.8 inches per hour.
• The infiltration rate of each test boring is the average of the change in water level readings in inches per hour, over the test period, or until water is no longer observed in the standpipe. Should the infiltration rates in the two borings prove inconsistent, additional borings and infiltration tests must be performed or the lowest infiltration rate obtained shall be used as the field infiltration rate.
• The field infiltration rate for a proposed facility is the average of all field infiltration rates conducted within that facility, per Section 2(c). The design rate is one-half of the field infiltration rate.
• Soil boring location stakes are to be left in the field until plan approval by the Environmental and Site Review Division.
• Infiltration testing shall be performed by a qualified professional or his/her authorized representatives. The professional shall either be a Professional Engineer holding a valid license to practice engineering in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with experience in geotechnical engineering or a Professional Geologist certified by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• A change in design at the permitting plan review stage may necessitate additional testing. The final design invert of the proposed facility must be within 24 inches of the elevation at which the infiltration test(s) used for design were conducted.
• Septic percolation tests are not acceptable as an alternative to infiltration tests.
GEOGRID SUBGRADE STABILIZATION
September 9, 2016
