All materials and mailto:Charles.R.Tanner@usace.army.mil mailto:James.R.Milner@usace.army.mil mailto:Jason.Almodovar@usace.army.mil workmanship will be manufactured and accomplished according to industry standards and specifications.

1. The Contractor shall prepare two (2) individual camping sites backing up to the river.

Parameter Specification Details Excavation Depth 10 inches Excavate the road entrance and designated pathways to a minimum depth of 10 inches. Then apply road grade geo-textile fabric before introducing the foundation stone.

Foundation Base Structural Stone Base Prior to surface application, install and compact a foundational stone base in accordance with KYTC specifications, selecting aggregate based on the subgrade soil type.

Where stable soil conditions are present, Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA) is sufficient; however, if the underlying soil is soft, wet, or clay-heavy, No. 2 or No. 3 stone must be used to establish a stable bridging lift. All base material must be placed and compacted in uniform lifts not exceeding 6 inches in loose depth to ensure maximum density and eliminate subgrade deflection.

Finished Surface Dense Grade Aggregate

(DGA)

The final driving surface must be capped with Dense Graded Aggregate (DGA), graded and compacted to an elevation between 2” and 4” above the surrounding soil grade.

This elevated profile ensures positive cross-slope drainage, allowing stormwater runoff to shed freely off the shoulders, preventing standing water, and deterring localized puddling on the driving lane.

Dimensions 175 Linear feet Total length of the drive is 175’ and the total width of the drive is no less than 20 feet or more than 22’,
