I. INTRODUCTION
This report is written to provide pavement and materials recommendations for CO FLAP MES 18(1) 18 Road. The project is located north of Fruita, Colorado in Mesa County. 18 Road runs from the Government Canal on the south end of the project to the BLM North Fruita Campground on the north end. The project will include realignments, widening, grade changes, and a new roadway surface. See Appendix A for location map.
The Preliminary Pavement Recommendations Memo was issued in March 2021. The memo provided the pavement recommendations as well as the proposed pay items. This memo is found in Appendix F. The pavement recommendations have been finalized and are discussed in Part VI of this report.
Revision to the final document include updating the report date, updating the results on corrosivity ratings based on soil resistivity, pH and sulfate and chloride exposure and Appendix B Laboratory Reports to include AASHTO T 290 Sulfate Content and AASHTO T 291 Chloride Content test results revised on 02/18/2021.
II. CLIMATE
Climate data was obtained from noaa.gov. This data is summarized in Table 1 below.
The average annual precipitation for this area is approximately 9.66 inches. The project is in a high desert area and at an elevation that receives both snow and rain, dependent upon the time of year.

III. EXPLORATION
On June 9th, 2020 CFLHD pavement & material engineer Marty Fey completed a field investigation which included boring and subgrade sampling. DA Smith Drilling was hired through the CFLHD BPA to assist with the field investigation. A CME 55 track-mounted drill rig with a 6” O.D. solid stem auger was used to complete the borings. Pavement borings were logged at 16 locations, subgrade samples were collected and tested in the laboratory. CFL personnel logged the borings; this included depth of boring, visual soil classification, and pavement thickness when applicable. Boring locations, test results, and other information is shown in Appendix B.
IV. EXISTING PAVEMENT & SOILS
The existing roadway was observed to consist of old, oxidized asphalt pavement with high severity fatigue cracking, large areas of patching, chip seals, and poorly performing gravel surfaces extending throughout the length of the project. Due to highly variable existing sections and large amount of embankment work, a full reconstruction is recommended for this project. Because this project is located in a high desert area, boulders and cobbles may be encountered during construction.
Pavement thickness was found to be 0 to 6.5 inches in depth at the locations drilled, supported by 0 to 6 inches of aggregate road base.
Drilling efforts were relatively easy. The subgrade materials encountered are of moderate quality. The subgrade soils encountered consisted primarily of silty and clayey sands to sandy clays and were classified primarily as A-2-4(0) and A-4. Subgrade soils exhibited low plasticity and had R-values of 14 to 48.
3 samples were used for estimating the corrosion potential through the following tests Soil Resitivity, pH, Water Soluble Sulfate Content and Water Soluble Chloride Content.
Soil Resistivity for 3 samples were measured at 730, 800 and 660 ohm-cm indicating corrosive to extremely corrosive soils, where less than 1000 ohm-cm is considered extremely corrosive based on Roberge (2012).
pH values were measured at 7.9 for all 3 samples which indicates a normal range for corrosion potential.
Sulfate Content for the 3 samples were measured at 3,620, 1240 and 2,440 ppm which is within the range of 1,500 – 10,000 which is considered Severe (S2).
Chloride Content for the 3 samples were measured at 47, 53 and 128 ppm chloride contents greater than 500 ppm are corrosive to ferrous materials. The measured values are less than what is considered corrosive.
See the laboratory reports and boring logs in Appendix B for more information. Ratings and classifications are based on standard industry criteria.
V. PAVEMENT DESIGN CALCULATION INPUTS
Design Parameters
Traffic counts were provided with the FLAP application and were used to develop ESAL estimates. An average daily traffic (ADT) of 259 and a truck factor of 7% class 5, resulted in a calculated cumulative equivalent single axel load (ESALs) of 50,000 for a 20-year period. The assumptions made in the ESAL calculations as well as related design factors are included in Appendix D. Design factors used in the ESALs calculations as well as the structural coefficients were taken from the CFLHD Project Development Design Manual (PDDM), Chapter 11.
Roadbed Soil Resilient Modulus
The soil resilient modulus was converted from R-Values, AASHTO T 190, using the following equation:
Resilient Modulus (psi) = 10[ ( S
+ 18.72 ) / 6.24 ] where S1 = [(R-Value – 5) / 11.29] + 3
The average R-value was found to be 31. However, due to high variability in in the subgrade, an R-value of 15 was selected to generate a design resilient modulus of 5,000 psi.
VI. PAVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS & DISCUSSION
Utilizing AASHTO 93 Flexible Pavement Design (Appendix D), a 20-year pavement design required a Calculated Design Structural Number (SN) of 2.21. After evaluating alternatives and performing various iterations, the following is the recommended pavement structural section:
Table 2: Recommended Pavement Section Layer Thickness
HACP 3 inches (two lifts) Aggregate Base Course 8 inches
SN = 2.28
VII. MATERIALS RECOMMENDATIONS
Selection of Asphalt Binder
LTPPBind software was utilized to assist in the selection of asphalt binder. The information presented in LTPPBind is shown in Appendix E. LTPPBind indicated that a PG 64-22 binder should be used. Consideration was given to the location of the project as well as performance of past projects in similar conditions.
Prime and Tack Coats, Blotter and Fog Seal
Prime Coat and Blotter are recommended for this project. A tack coat applied between pavement lifts is recommended. It is also recommended that a fog seal be applied to the final surfacing.
Drainage and Subexcavation
During the field investigation, areas of pavement distress were present. However, they appeared to be caused due to fatigue and age. No major water damage or drainage problems pertaining to the existing traveled way were observed. If any drainage issues are encountered, the scope of the project allows for partial reconstruction. A quantity of 100 cubic yards of subexcavation should be included in the contract. This quantity should remain in the Contract in the event that areas in need of repair are encountered.
Bid Items
Suggested FP-14 pay items for the proposed structural section are shown in Table 3 below.

INTRODUCTION
This memorandum provides preliminary pavement and material recommendations for the 18 Road project located in Mesa County, north of Fruita, Colorado.
18 Road, runs from the Government Canal on the south end of the project to the BLM North Fruita Campground on the north. The project will include reconstruction of the roadway surface along with minor realignments and widening.
CFLHD standards and guidelines were used to complete the pavement and materials recommendations.
FIELD INVESTIGATION
On June 9th, 2020 CFLHD pavement & material engineer Marty Fey completed a field investigation which included boring and subgrade sampling. DA Smith Drilling was hired through the CFLHD BPA to assist with the field investigation. A CME 55 track-mounted drill rig with a 6” O.D. solid stem auger was used to complete the borings. Pavement boring were logged at 16 locations, subgrade samples were collected and tested in the laboratory. See the attached boring and testing logs for more detailed information.
Technical Memorandum
Date: March 19, 2021
The primary objectives of this field investigation were as follows:
Measure and record existing pavement and subgrade layer depths;
Gather subgrade soil samples for follow-up testing to determine engineering properties;
Evaluate and record pavement distress conditions;
Evaluate roadway and project area for constructability concerns.
The existing roadway was observed to consist of old, oxidized asphalt pavement with high severity fatigue cracking, large areas of pathing, chip seals, and poorly performing gravel surfaces extending throughout the length of the project. This roadway would be a good candidate for full depth reclamation. Additional roadbase will need to be added in areas where existing asphalt is thin or nonexistent.
The information gathered as described above was used to support pavement rehabilitation, structural design, and material recommendations.
Below are summary tables of data gathered and test results. For more complete and detailed results, see the attached logs and lab test reports.
Summary of Sampling & Test Results
Pavement Depth
Roadbase Depth
R‐value, subbase
R‐value, subgrade Comments
0 to 6.5 inches
0 to 6 inches
N/A 14 ‐ 48
Subgrade material consists primarily of Silty and Clayey Sands to Sandy Clays, A‐2‐4(0) and A‐4.
Resistivity values are moderate and indicate a lower risk of sulfate and chloride attack.
TRAFFIC:
Traffic counts were provided with the FLAP application and used to developed estimates for ESALs. The road is primarily used for recreational access with very little to no commercial use.
Truck counts were based on engineering judgement and are assumed to be very low. The counts appear generally consistent with other historical traffic data and they align with what was experienced during the field investigation. The following is a summary of traffic data as well as the estimated ESALs used for design:
2020 AADT = 259
2040 AADT = 385 (2% growth rate) 2020 % trucks = 7% Class 5 (trucks/RVs) Directional factor = 60% Design Lane ESAL’s = 50,000
DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
The pavement design, rehabilitation method, and other recommendations are included below.
In developing the pavement structural and rehabilitation recommendations the following criteria was used:
Design Criteria Initial Serviceability 4.2 Terminal Serviceability 2.0 Design Reliability Level 75% Overall Standard Deviation 0.49 Soil Resilient Modulus 5,000 psi Performance Period (3R) 20 years 20-year ESAL 50,000 Existing Borrow Material R-Value 20 Calculated Structural Number (SN) 2.21
The following is the recommended pavement structural section:
Pulverize and Overlay Layer Thickness
HACP 3 inches (two lifts) Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) or Aggregate Base Course 8 inches
SN = 2.28
Portions of the roadway with asphalt patches thicker than 6” were observed. The contractor should be made aware that the FDR depth of 6” is a minimum and that isolated areas of thicker pavement are present and will need to be addressed.
ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
The asphalt binder grade should be PG 64-22. This aligns with recommendations from LTPPBind.
Include a nominal amount of subexcavation (~100 cu yd) to be used at discretion of the
CO.
Recommend the following bid items.
