Geotechnical Report Summary
This is a Roadway Soil Survey Report prepared by Tierra South Florida, Inc. for the City of Doral, Miami-Dade County, Florida, dated August 10, 2021. The report documents subsurface conditions and geotechnical recommendations for the widening and resurfacing of three roadway segments: NW 66th Street (1,400 linear feet from NW 102nd Avenue to NW 99th Avenue), NW 102nd Avenue (300 linear feet widening plus 420 linear feet resurfacing south of NW 66th Street), and NW 99th Avenue (670 linear feet new construction plus 100 linear feet resurfacing south of NW 66th Street). The geotechnical exploration consisted of 16 Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to 6 feet below grade, 2 auger borings with Borehole Permeability (BHP) tests to 15 feet depth, and 6 asphalt pavement cores. Laboratory testing included grain size analysis, natural moisture content tests, and organic content tests performed in accordance with AASHTO soil classification standards.
The subsurface conditions identified six primary soil strata: topsoil (A-8, unsuitable), brown sand with trace silt and limerock (A-2-4, suitable), brown organic sand with limerock (A-8, unsuitable), light brown sandy limestone (suitable), limerock fill (A-1-a, suitable), and asphalt (unsuitable). The Seasonal High Groundwater Table (SHGWT) is estimated between 5 and 6 feet above sea level, with groundwater not encountered in most borings within the 6-foot exploration depth. Engineering recommendations include standard site preparation with removal of topsoil and organic materials, compacted stabilized subgrade with 12-inch sand-gravel mixture (minimum LBR of 40), and limerock or shell rock base course with minimum LBR of 100. All fills should be constructed on slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or flatter, and geofabrics are recommended in embankments to maintain stability as organic layers decay over time.

3.2 USGS Soil Data
Based on a review of the USGS website for Miami-Dade County, Florida, the below three Geologic units are described:
Miami Limestone (Pleistocene) at surface, covers 92 % of this area The Miami Limestone (formerly the Miami Oolite), named by Sanford (1909), occurs at or near the surface in southeastern peninsular Florida from Palm Beach County to Dade and Monroe Counties. It forms the Atlantic Coastal Ridge and extends beneath the Everglades where it is commonly covered by thin organic and freshwater sediments. The Miami Limestone occurs on the mainland and in the southern Florida Keys from Big Pine Key to the Marquesas Keys. From Big Pine Key to the mainland, the Miami Limestone is replaced by the Key Largo Limestone. To the north, in Palm Beach County, the Miami Limestone grades laterally northward into the Anastasia Formation. The Miami Limestone consists of two facies, an oolitic facies and a bryozoan facies (Hoffmeister et al. [1967]). The oolitic facies consists of white to orangish gray, poorly to moderately indurated, sandy, oolitic limestone (grainstone) with scattered concentrations of fossils. The bryozoan facies consists of white to orangish gray, poorly to well indurated, sandy, fossiliferous limestone (grainstone and packstone). Beds of quartz sand are also present as unindurated sediments and indurated limey sandstones. Fossils present include mollusks, bryozoans, and corals. Molds and casts of fossils are common. The highly porous and permeable Miami Limestone forms much of the Biscayne Aquifer of the surficial aquifer system.
Holocene sediments (Holocene) at surface, covers 7 % of this area The Holocene sediments in Florida occur near the present coastline at elevations generally less than 5 feet (1.5 meters). The sediments include quartz sands, carbonate sands and muds, and organics.
Shelly sediments of Plio-Pleistocene age (Pliocene/Pleistocene) at surface, covers 1 % of this area Tertiary-Quaternary Fossiliferous Sediments of Southern Florida - Molluskbearing sediments of southern Florida contain some of the most abundant and diverse fossil faunas in the world. The origin of these accumulations of fossil mollusks is imprecisely known (Allmon, 1992). The shell beds have attracted much attention due to the abundance and preservation of the fossils but the
Roadway Soil Survey Report 4
City of Doral, FL biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy of the units has not been well defined (Scott, 1992). Scott and Wingard (1995) discussed the problems associated with biostratigraphy and lithostratigraphy of the Plio-Pleistocene in southern Florida. These "formations" are biostratigraphic units. The "formations" previously recognized within the latest Tertiary-Quaternary section of southern Florida include the latest Pliocene - early Pleistocene Caloosahatchee Formation, the early Pleistocene Bermont formation (informal) and the late Pleistocene Fort Thompson Formation. This section consists of fossiliferous sands and carbonates. The identification of these units is problematic unless the significant molluscan species are recognized. Often exposures are not extensive enough to facilitate the collection of representative faunal samples to properly discern the biostratigraphic identification of the formation. In an attempt to alleviate the inherent problems in the biostratigraphic recognition of lithostratigraphic units, Scott (1992) suggested grouping the latest Pliocene through late Pleistocene Caloosahatchee, Bermont and Fort Thompson Formations in to a single lithostratigraphic entity, the Okeechobee formation (informal). In mapping the shelly sands and carbonates, a generalized grouping as Tertiary-Quaternary shell units (TQsu) was utilized. This is equivalent to the informal Okeechobee formation. The distribution of the Caloosahatchee and Fort Thompson Formation are shown on previous geologic maps by Cooke (1945), Vernon and Puri (1964) and Brooks (1982). The Nashua Formation occurs within the Pliocene - Pleistocene in northern Florida. However, it crops out or is near the surface is an area too small to be shown on a map of this scale. Lithologically these sediments are complex, varying from unconsolidated, variably calcareous and fossiliferous quartz sands to well indurated, sandy, fossiliferous limestones (both marine and freshwater). Clayey sands and sandy clays are present.
These sediments form part of the surficial aquifer system
Key Largo Limestone (Pleistocene) at surface, covers 0.2 % of this area The Key Largo Limestone, named by Sanford (1909), is exposed at the surface in the Florida Keys from Soldier Key on the northeast to Newfound Harbor Keys near Big Pine Key on the southwest (Hoffmeister, 1974). This unit is a fossil coral reef much like the present day reefs offshore from the Keys. An exceptional exposure of the Key Largo Limestone occurs in the Windley Key Quarry State Geological Site in the upper Florida Keys. Exposures of the limestone containing large coral heads are in a series of old quarries. The Key Largo Limestone is a white to light gray, moderately to well indurated, fossiliferous, coralline limestone composed of coral heads encased in a calcarenitic matrix. Little to no siliciclastic sediment is found in these sediments. Fossils present include corals, mollusks and bryozoans. It is highly porous and permeable and is part of the Biscayne Aquifer of the surficial aquifer system

4.0 RESULTS OF SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
4.1 Field Explorations
The subsurface conditions along the project interchange were explored by sixteen (16) borings, with depth of 6 feet below the ground surface, and two (2) borings with a depth of 15 feet for the BHPs. The 6-foot borings were performed as Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings per ASTM D1586, and the BHP borings were completed as auger borings. The soils information is presented on the Soil Profiles Sheets in Appendix A.
The boring field locations were determined by TSF personnel using a hand-held GPS system.
Approximate locations of the borings performed are presented on the Boring Location Plan included in Appendix A. The soil samples were returned to our laboratory for classification by a geotechnical engineer. The samples were visually classified in the laboratory in general accordance with the AASHTO Soil Classification Systems.
4.2 General Soil Conditions
The soil types encountered in the borings have been assigned a stratum number. The stratum numbers and soil types encountered are listed in Table 4.2 below.

Profiles for the soils encountered in the borings are presented in Appendix A.
A Geotechnical engineer bases soil stratification on a visual review of the recovered samples, laboratory testing, and interpretation of the field boring logs. The boring stratification lines represent the approximate boundaries between soil types of significantly different engineering properties; however, the actual transition may be gradual. In some cases, small variations in properties not considered pertinent to our engineering evaluation may have been abbreviated or omitted for clarity. The boring profiles represent the conditions at a particular boring location, and variations do occur and should be expected among the borings.
5.0 LABORATORY TESTING
5.1 Classification Testing
Representative soil samples collected from the borings were classified and stratified in general accordance with the AASHTO Soil Classification System for roadway borings. Our classification was based on visual inspection, using the results from the laboratory testing as confirmation. The laboratory tests performed included natural moisture content, grain size analysis, and organic content tests. Laboratory test results are included in Appendix B as Summary of Laboratory Test Results and Grain Size Data Sheets.
Tests were performed in general accordance with the test methods noted in Table 5.1 below.

6.0 GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
6.1 Groundwater
Encountered groundwater depth was measured at the boring locations following the termination of drilling. Groundwater was marked as “GNE” (Groundwater Not Encountered) when the groundwater was not encountered within the boring depth. Encountered groundwater depths measured in the borings are presented on the Soil Profiles Sheets in Appendix A, along with a summary titled Groundwater Table and Boring Location Summary Data in Appendix A recorded.
Based on the reviewed maps for the project area, the Seasonal High Groundwater Table (SHGWT) levels are expected to be between +5 and +6 feet (Seal Level) The water levels are controlled by existing drainage features present throughout the corridor. We recommend the project design be also coordinated with the existing permits from previous constructions, profiles of existing roadway and drainage structures, and the SHGWT and Design High Water (DHW) elevations are adjusted accordingly.
Groundwater conditions will vary with environmental variations and seasonal conditions, such as the frequency and magnitude of rainfall patterns, as well as human-made influences (i.e., existing canals, swells, drainage ponds, under drains, and areas of covered soils, like paved parking lots and sidewalks). Fluctuation should be anticipated. We recommend that the contractor determine the actual groundwater levels at the time of construction to determine groundwater impact on the construction procedures. Based on the Site Groundwater Map, included in Appendix A, the groundwater high levels should be anticipated to be near 5 feet, Sea Level.
6.2 Borehole Permeability (BHP) Test Results
Two (2) BHP tests were performed using the usual open-hole, constant head methodology. The holes were advanced to approximately 15 feet below the existing grade and they were drilled with a hollow stem auger so that soil samples could be retrieved for visual classification by an engineer.
The BHP test borings were completed as open well with gravel pack (6-20 silica sand). The well-screen slot widths were 0.020 inches. Water from the drill rig tank was then pumped into the open well, and the amount of water required maintaining a constant head was recorded. The test results are presented as the Summary of Borehole Permeability Test Results in Appendix C. The borings are presented on the Soil Profiles Sheets in Appendix A.
7.0 ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 General
In general, the existing shallow subsurface soils encountered in the borings are suitable for supporting the proposed improvements after proper subgrade preparation. Site preparation should consist of normal clearing and grubbing, followed by compaction of subgrade soils.
Roadway Soil Survey Report 8
City of Doral, FL
The removal of topsoil, where required, should be accomplished in accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Standard Specifications Section 120 – Excavation and Embankment. Encountered buried organic soils, plastic soils, debris, or unsuitable fills encountered during construction (which are not shown on the boring profiles) should be removed and replaced with properly compacted suitable fill if encountered during excavations. The removal of organic soils and plastic soils, where required, should be accomplished in accordance with FDOT Standard Plans Index 120-002. Backfill should consist of materials conforming to FDOT Standard Plans Index 120-001 and compacted in accordance with Section 120-9 of the Standard Specification for Road and Bridge Construction, latest edition.
An underlying layer of organic material exists at the site, as noted in the borings from the previous roadway project. The relatively thin layer encountered in the borings may remain in place, due to the depth of excavation required to remove the layer. Geofabrics shall be included in the embankment to assist in maintaining embankment stability as the organic layer decays over time.
7.2 Permanent Cut and Fill Slopes
We anticipate that fills will be required for the proposed roadway widening. Assuming proper subgrade preparation and adequate fill materials are utilized, we recommend that all proposed permanent side slopes be constructed on 2.0 horizontal to 1.0 vertical (2H:1V) or flatter. To prevent minor sloughing at the surface, we recommend that the slopes be seeded, mulched, and maintained to enhance slope stability soon after being completed.
7.3 Excavations
All excavations should be performed in accordance with FDOT Standard Plans 120-002, the latest Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, and in accordance with OSHA Standards. We recommend that sides of temporary excavations be sloped to 2H:1V or flatter or supported by temporary shoring.
7.4 Groundwater Control
Groundwater may not have an impact on the proposed roadway widening if the proposed roadway elevations are kept at or above the existing road level. However, depending upon groundwater levels at the time of construction, some form of dewatering may be required for utility and/or drainage structure excavations. The groundwater was not encountered in some of the boring depths completed. A summary of recorded groundwater readings is included as page titled Groundwater Table and Boring Location Summary Data in Appendix A.
7.5 Pavement Design Considerations
We anticipate that the proposed pavement structure will be a semi-flexible asphaltic concrete section. Soils existing along the majority of the project alignments should have modest subgrade strength for pavement support.
Roadway Soil Survey Report 9
City of Doral, FL
For a stabilized subgrade, we recommend a sand-gravel mixture, 12 inches thick, with a minimum design LBR of 40. The Base course should consist of limerock, shell rock or coquina, meeting the minimum requirements of the FDOT “Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction,” Sections 911, 913 or 915, respectively. The limerock should have a minimum LBR value of 100.
Both the base and stabilized subgrade should be compacted to at least 98 percent of maximum dry density (FM 1-T180 Method D).
Asphalt thickness should be determined considering the anticipated traffic loading conditions and expected life expectancy of the pavement section.
7.6 On-Site Soil Suitability
The following notes are included on the Roadway Soil Survey Sheet, which is included in Appendix A, with some minor edits in this written report for clarity.
Stratum 1 consists of Topsoil (A-8) and should be stripped from the proposed widening and new pavement areas. It may be used on the project in accordance with Standard Plans Index 120-001 or discarded per Specification 120 Excavation and Embankment.
Stratum 2 consists of Brown Sand with Trace Silt and Limerock (A-2-4). This material appears to be suitable to use in subgrade and embankment support and should be utilized according to Standard Plans Index 120-001. However, this material is likely to retain excess moisture and may be difficult to dry and compact. It may be used in the embankment above the water level existing at the time of construction and should be used according to Standard Plans Index 120-001. It may be used in the subgrade portion of the roadbed when approved by the District Materials Engineer.
Material placed below the existing water level must be non-plastic and contain less than 15% passing the Number 200 U.S. Standard Sieve.
Stratum 3 consists of Brown Organic Sand with Limerock (A-8) and should be removed and replaced per Standard Index 120-002 if encountered during excavations. The relatively thin layer encountered in the borings may remain in place, due to the depth of excavation required to remove the layer. Geofabrics shall be included in the embankment to assist in maintaining embankment stability as the organic layer decays over time.
Stratum 4 consists of Light Brown Sandy Limestone. This material can be used as select material as long as the gradation satisfies the FDOT Standard Specification Requirements. Limestone is anticipated to be Hard to Difficult to excavate. Additionally, Limestone can be porous and difficult to dewater.
Stratum 5 consists of Limerock (fill) (A-1-a). These materials appear to be suitable to use in subgrade and embankment and should be utilized according to Standard Plans Index 120-001.

City of Doral, FL
8.0 PAVEMENT CORES
8.1 Roadway General Information
The existing pavement section details, including total pavement thickness, layer thickness, base type, and base thickness were determined by performing cores within the project asphalt. A total of six (6) asphalt cores were obtained. The asphalt layer and base-depth information is provided on the Pavement and Base Material Data Sheets in Appendix D, with abbreviations for Pavement Layer Type and Base Type.
8.2 Coring Process
The pavement cores were located in the field by a representative of TSF using handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment (non-survey grade), which is estimated to have an accuracy of 30 feet.
The approximate pavement core and base check locations are presented on the Boring Location Plan sheets in Appendix A. The GPS coordinates (Latitude/Longitude) are included on the Pavement and Base Material Data Sheets in Appendix D and on the Photographs of Pavement Cores, included in Appendix D.
The pavement cores were performed with the use of a 6-inch outside diameter core bit. Core samples of the existing pavement section were collected, and the thickness of the pavement and base was measured.
9.0 REPORT LIMITATIONS

The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:24,000.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements.
Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Miami-Dade County Area, Florida Survey Area Data: Version 12, Jun 9, 2020
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Dec 6, 2019—Mar 24, 2020
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
