About this file
This technical memorandum provides pavement structural recommendations for the proposed 7.3-mile Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail (MBSST) project in Santa Cruz County, California. The recommendations include a 2-inch asphalt concrete pavement layer and 6-inch aggregate base for the shared-use trail. For parking areas and approach roads, 3 inches of asphalt concrete pavement and 6 inches of aggregate base are recommended. The memorandum also recommends 8 inches of asphalt concrete pavement and 12 inches of aggregate base for added turning lanes on California Route 1 near the Yellowbank parking area. The structural sections are based on field investigations of subgrade soil conditions and traffic assumptions. Construction administration will be provided by the Central Federal Lands Highway Division, using the FP-14 specifications with revisions to meet local standards.

Subject: CA FLAP SCR T5(1) and T5(2) Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic
Trail (MBSST) Pavement & Materials Recommendations Structural Sections – Trail, Parking Areas, CA Route 1, Added Turning Lanes
From: Mike Voth Pavement & Materials Engineer, CFLHD
To: Dustin Robbins, Project Manager Jeff Felling, Lead Designer
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to provide the pavement and material recommendations for the following items:
• Trail surfacing for the 7.3-mile shared-use trail that goes from the Wilder Ranch State Park to Davenport.
• Parking areas, railroad crossings, and approach roads.
• The addition of turning lanes along CA Route 1 at the Yellowbank parking area at about milepost 26.7. This location is about 2 miles southeast of Davenport. Caltrans provided as-built plans of previous projects near milepost 26.7. The as-builts plans were used to determine the existing pavement structure on CA Route 1. See attached technical memo dated April 3, 2020 for more information.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
From August 8 to 10, 2016 a field investigation was completed which included dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing, sampling surface grab samples, and visual/photo reconnaissance.
24 locations were tested with the DCP and 4 soil samples from the upper subgrade were collected and tested for engineering properties by the CFLHD lab. The primary focus of this field investigation was evaluating the soil subgrade conditions along the alignment of the proposed shared use trail and parking lots to provide optimized recommendations for base and pavement thickness. Agriculture related equipment and access points were also observed and evaluated.
Below is a summary table of subgrade soil properties. For more complete and detailed results, see the attached field investigation log and lab test report.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The surfacing, base, design and other recommendations for the Trail, Davenport and Yellowbank Parking Areas, CA Route 1 turning lanes, railroad crossings, and approach roads are as follows:
TRAIL (SHARED-USE PATH):
The PDDM does not contain guidance or requirements for surfacing thickness of paved trails, but the minimum asphalt concrete pavement (ACP) thickness for new roadways is 2 inches.
FLH has successfully constructed numerous bike and pedestrian trails with 2 inches of ACP including projects in Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Grand Teton National Park.
The AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the CalTrans Highway Design Manual, and guidance from Illinois DOT are good references for developing pavement structural sections for trails and they were used in developing surfacing recommendations for this project.
The following are some key excerpts:
•CalTrans Highway Design Manual-
On page 1000-11, bike path pavement structure guidance includes the following, “A minimum pavement thickness of 50 mm (2 inches) of asphalt is recommended”. (No minimum for aggregate base is provided, but for this project an aggregate base will be important to establish a firm foundation to pave on.)
•AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities- On page 5-25, surface structure recommendations are, “…the total pavement depth should typically be a minimum of 6 in. (150 mm), inclusive of the surface course (asphalt or Portland cement concrete) and the base course (typically an aggregate rock base).”
•Best Practices for Bicycle Trail Pavement Construction and Maintenance in Illinois- This report includes mechanistic analysis of stresses and strains to estimate the number of passes to failure. This is a good resource and was used as a reasonableness check and to generate recommended base and surfacing thickness.
For the MBSST, only light duty traffic is expected along the trail. Light duty traffic is defined as golf carts, small utility vehicles (Polaris Ranger), automobiles, and pick-up trucks. Based on light duty traffic, the following are the recommended pavement structural sections for the trail:
Table 2. Pavement Structural Section Recommendations - Trail Location / Feature Asphalt Concrete Pavement
(403 pay item) Aggregate Base (302 pay item)
MBSST – mainline 2 inches (single lift) 6 inches (roadway aggregate) MBSST – surface aggregate connectors n/a 6 inches (crusher fines)
MBSST – rest areas n/a 4 inches (crusher fines)
PARKING AREAS, RAILROAD CROSSINGS, AND APPROACH ROADS
Traffic:
Parking areas were conservatively assumed to “turn-over” 4 times a day and include 12 RVs (class 5 trucks) per day. No large bus parking will be accommodated in the parking areas. Using these assumptions, the 20-year 18-kip equivalent single axle load (ESAL) were estimated at 44,500. As a result, the CFL 50,000 ESAL design minimum was used for design of the parking areas. Approach roads serve only a few residences and/or access to agricultural fields. These approach roads have very little traffic and again the minimum 50,000 ESALs was used for design.
Subgrade strength:
Based on DCP testing throughout the project, the upper 20 inches of subgrade soil generally has medium to high CBR values. The average CBR value for the project was 21. The CBR results at the Davenport and Yellowbank parking areas were 11 and 10 respectively. To account for some variability and include some conservativeness, a design CBR of 8 was selected for the project. This equates to a resilient modulus value (MR) of approximately 8000 psi.
The following table includes the recommended pavement structural sections for parking areas, railroad crossings, and approach roads. For more detailed information, the AASHTO pavement design summary and calculations are attached.

*Concrete surfacing was selected for crossings with agricultural related traffic due to the steel tracking implements used by some of the farming operations which mar and deform asphalt pavements. Concrete surfacing was selected for ADA stalls in parking lots to assure that strict cross-slope requirements are met.
TURNING LANES ON CA ROUTE 1
The attached technical memo dated April 3, 2020 includes the background and justification for the recommended pavement structural section for the added turning lanes on CA Route 1 which will access the Yellowbank parking area. The following table summarizes the recommendations.

SCRs, and OTHER MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS
SCRs:
For the most part, our standard SCRs as related to pavement & materials will be used. However, the following SCRs are recommended and have been developed for insertion.
• Section 403 – Use of ½ inch NMA Type A Caltrans mix for roadway segments of project. Option to use a ½ inch NMA Type A Caltrans mix or a local mix that meets 2021 Greenbook Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction for the Trail surfacing.
• Section 703.06 – Gradation and quality requirements for use of crusher fines for shoulder material along trail, rest areas, and connectors. Crusher fines provide more cushion for joggers (as compared to asphalt) and are not coarse or uncomfortable to walk on.
Other Material Recommendations:
• There is the potential that spot areas of moist subgrade and areas of soft, clayey soils will be encountered. While generally the subgrade soil is expected to be granular in nature, suggest including 2000 cubic yards of subexcavation as contingency to be used at the discretion of the CO.
• Use tack coat for application between asphalt concrete pavement lifts.
• Use prime coat on base material that will receive an asphalt layer(s) above, and include blotter for use with prime coat, to be used as needed.
• Include fog seal applied over the asphalt concrete pavement for the Davenport parking area, Yellowbank parking area, and CA Route 1 turning lanes.

From: Mike Voth Pavement & Materials Engineer, CFLHD
To: Wendy Longley, Project Manager Steve Short, Lead Designer
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to provide the pavement and material recommendations for the addition of turning lanes along CA Route 1 at the Yellowbank/Panther Beach parking area at about milepost 26.7. This location is about 2 miles southeast of Davenport. Caltrans provided as-built plans of previous projects near milepost 26.7. The as-builts plans were used to determine the existing pavement structure on CA Route 1. This memo is also to be used to convey our recommendations to Caltrans and attain their concurrence.
AS-BUILT PLAN REVIEW
Caltrans provided a total of 15 as-built plans that were dated from 1940 to 2018. Of these 15 as-built plans, 7 included pavement structural sections relevant to our project area. A summary of the reviewed as-built plans is attached. Based upon a review of the as-built plans, the estimated existing pavement structure is presented below in Table 1.

PAVEMENT & MATERIALS RECCOMENDATIONS
Section 612.3 Widening, of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual, indicates it is acceptable to match the existing pavement structure in lieu of determining the actual design life on widening projects. This was the approach used to develop recommendations for the pavement structure for the widened area along CA Route 1. The length of roadway impacted is about 1500 feet.
Technical Memorandum
Date: April 3, 2020
Using the data presented in Table 1 to complete a “match existing” design approach, the resulting recommended pavement structural section is as follows:
8 inches asphalt concrete pavement 12 inches aggregate base
New base and pavement will only be placed in the widened portion of CA Route 1. After the widened section has been completed and the existing pavement markings have been removed, and prior to the application of the permanent pavement markings, a fog seal will be applied over the full width of CA Route 1.
Based on a subgrade sample taken from the adjacent Yellowbank parking lot in August 2016, the soil in the area is expected to be generally granular and should provide a satisfactory subgrade material if properly drained. The material was classified as an A-2-4 according to AASHTO M 145 and a clayey sand (SC) according to ASTM D2487. Using a dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP), the estimated in-situ CBR of this subgrade material was 10. Based on visual examination, the in-situ moisture was slightly drier than optimum.
Contract administration for the project will be provided by CFLHD. Construction and materials specifications will be in accordance with the FP-14 (Standard Specifications for Construction of Roads and Bridges on Federal Highway Projects) with revisions, as appropriate, to meet local standards.
The following pay items as related to the pavement structure are recommended:
