Subject: RE: Cover over Gas by Overland Trail
I checked with our Area Engineer (Randy Blank) to make sure we are ok with this situation. We
both feel there is enough cover to keep the line safe and protected. If everyone works in a safe
manor in the public right of ways,with locates, potholes, etc. there should be never be an issue
with this gas line. Thanks again Len Hilderbrand 970-225-7848

Len,
The City has concerns that the proposed concrete cap would be too shallow and be less desirable than a gas line
that is a few inches shallower than their standard (see attached email). They would like a statement from you that
you are ok with the proposed cover over the gas line. Based on the shallow pothole result at the north end of the
project, the gas line would be approximately 2A0" from the proposed concrete pavement surface. The concrete
pavement is to be 8.5 inches thick with 8 inches of prepared subgrade.

Date: 9/21/04 3:54PM
Subject: Re: Turn lane at OVerland and Rampart
I have received the information and auxiliary lanes are required as part of the Biocontainment laboratory.
The requirements are as follows:
1.- A northbound left turn lane at a length of 540 feet ( 105 feet of storage and deceleration - 435 feet that
includes a bay taper of 200 feet.
2. a southbound right turn lane of 435 feet including a bay taper of 200 feet.

Eric says he has received nothing on this recently. My recollection was that Eric would determine taper
and storage lengths necessary based on traffic input that was to be provided to him, in addition to traffic
counts and other info that he has on hand.
I thought from the previous meetings on this (most recently June 14, 2004) that there was general
agreement on the need for the turn lanes at Rampart, and it was just a matter for the project's civil
engineer (S. A. Miro, Inc.) to survey and design the improvements. We discussed the possibility of
right-of-way needing to be dedicated by CSU, and of avoiding impacts to the homeowners on the east side
of Overland Trail.
I'm waiting on a return phone call from Will Welch. I will copy him and Eric on this message, in case my
memory is wrong (wouldn't be the first time).

>>> Brian Chase <bchaseO-)users.fm.colostate.edu> 09/20/04 11:58AM >>>
My understanding was we had supplied info to Eric so he could determine
if a turn lane was necessary. Based on the increased growth, which is
minimal, it appears it was not. However we did discuss concern about
all the construction traffic that will be more significant than the new
employees.
We currently have the CDC contractor parking his workers in the Equine
lot, which has a turn lane, which will greatly reduce the turn movements
into Rampart but I do worry about the impact of the construction
vehicles which was our topic of concern last Spring.
If you determine one isn't needed that is fine with me but I didn't want
to get into aposition where we had a problem before we addressed it.
thanks,Cam.

I am going to be meeting with CSU today at 2:30 to discuss my remaining comments on the Overland Trail
widening plans that I had routed out for review. If you have any comments still remaining or would like
brought up at this meeting if you could get those into the DMS system or emailed to me before 2 pm I can pass

STAFF PROJECT REVIEW
City of. Fort Collins
Date: 6/9/2008
Staff has reviewed your submittal for OVERLAND TRAIL AND RAMPART
IMPROVEMENTS-CSU, and we offer the following comments:
ISSUES:
Department: Engineering Issue Contact: Sheri Langenberger
Topic: General
Number: 6 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Need City signature block on these plans.
Number: 26 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] See plans for additional comments
Number: 28 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Has a preliminary soils report been done? The plans include a reference to a
soils report that was done in 2005. This report has not been submitted to the City for
review.
Number: 42 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] Row needed at this time for ultimate improvements is 57 Y2 feet from Centerline.
This amount does not include a future right turn lane if that would be needed or desired by
CSU when the road would go to a 4 lane section. The TIS submitted doesn't identify if this
will be a future need. So if only 57.5 feet is dedicated then a future right turn lane will not be
provided.
Number: 43 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] See notes on the plans regarding the typical sections for Overland Trail. Two of the
sections have the same label, but show different sections. Show that the 4 foot gravel
shoulder is being provided where you are not installing curb and gutter. Need to show that
57.5 feet of row is being provided on the west side of the road. You indicate that there is 60
feet of existing row; I come up with closer to 70 feet when I measure it on the county site.
Number: 45 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] One the plan view and in one of the x-sections there is a 20inch ADS pipe
identified. ADS is not allowed within the row. This pipe if needed (I couldn't figure out what
it was for) will need to be replaced with a pipe type that is allowed within the row.
Number: 46 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] Add the following note to the plan and profile sheet - Limits of street cut are
approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering Inspector.
All repairs to be in accordance with City street repair standard.
Number: 47 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] Really need to pot hole and fine out the exact location and elevation of the electric
system before these plans are finalized and approved. The vault if correctly shown,
minimum cover requirements for the roadway can not be met. If minimum cover (minimum
of 2 feet from top of vault to bottom of scarified subgrade) then the lane(s) above the vault
Page 1
will need to be constructed in concrete. This needs to be shown and noted on the plans. If
the location and depth of the vault is not determined before the plans are approved, we will
need a set of as -built plans showing the vault location and elevations, cover amount and
what exactly is built to be provided before the improvements will be accepted by the city.
Topic: intersection
Number: 22 Created: 2/28/2005
[2128/05] Provide a transition elevation and distance (if to be built like a street intersection).
This needs to be clarified - where is the flowline of Overland cross this intersection.
Topic: Plan and Profile
Number: 8 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] What is the driveway at station 13+50 for? 14 feet probably doesn't met our
minimum driveway width requirements. This driveway will need to be built per standard
detail with concrete to Property line or beyond so that dragout of gravel and dirt does not
occur
Number: 9 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Why are you putting in curb and gutter when this is an interim situation?
Number: 11 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] The x-hatching you are using does not allow us to see the roadway striping, lines
or text behind it.
Number: 12 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Need to make sure that the x-hatching, text and line work meets City scanning
criteria. Can not read most of the plan view due tot eh line weights and x-hatching.
Number: 13 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Remove the notes regarding full depth asphalt. The pavement design is not done
until a final soils report is done. The pavement design for Rampart can stay on the plans - it
will just be for the portion of Rampart that is behind the ROW line.
Number: 14 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] How is the intersection with Rampart to be built? This is not a public street. Need
to show how this is to be designed and built. If going to have a cross pan it needs to be
concrete. Need to either build this like a street intersection or as a driveway intersection.
Follow the appropriate design requirements and include the appropriate details.
Number: 15 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05]The radii at Rampart - the radii shown do not meet standards. The radii would be
20-25 feet per table 8-2 depending on whether this is considered a driveway or equivalent to
a street. If there is a reason for the greater radii, please submit a variance request with
information and turning templates showing the movements and why the greater radii is
needed for consideration.
Number: 16 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] For the dedication of new right-of-way. Please let me know if you need sample
documents for this dedication.

Number: 17 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Are any of the utilities to be relocated or are they going under the pavement?
Number: 18 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] The existing entry sign and rocks, please try and get this located out of future row.
Row needed at this time for ultimate improvements is 57'h feet from Centerline. This
amount does not include a future right turn lane if that would be needed or desired by CSU
when the road would go to a 4 lane section.
Number: 20 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Make sure it is clear that this is an interim improvement (flowline profile, curb and
gutter, pavement edge). In addition to the labeling you have done, please make the label
changes as shown on the redlined plans including adding interim to the sheet titles for the
overland trail x-sections.
Number: 44 Created: 6/9/2008
[6/9/08] Although you are providing interim improvements these improvements still need to
meet standards. There is one section where the flowline grades do not meet minimum
grade requirements. Minimum grade of .5% needs to be maintained, the flowline in this
area will need to be adjusted. Also have a few locations where the maximum grade break is
being exceeded.
Topic: x-section
Number: 25 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] Where you are not providing curb and gutter, you need to provide a paved
shoulder (2 foot min) and a gravel shoulder (4 foot min) beyond the travel edge.
Department: Light & Power Issue Contact: Doug Martine
Topic: electric utility
Number: 2 Created: 2/28/2005
[2/28/05] comment from Doug Martine - Light and power
There is a major, concrete encased, electrical substation tie circuit along the western side of
Overland Trail that is not shown on the drawings. In some areas they are changing the
grade which may leave less than the minimum cover over this line as required by the
National Electric Safety Code. The NESC prescribed minimum cover is 36 inches, but may
be reduced by providing "supplemental protection". This is defined as adding one inch of
concrete to replace 2 inches of soil over the top of the electric facilities. In other words, if
concrete is added from the top of the electric conduits all the way to the surface, the
minimum depth maybe reduced to 18".
Number: 32 Created: 5/22/2008
[5/22/08] Sheet C3.1 includes a note referencing backfilling above the electric duct bank
with flowable backfill. CSU needs to pothole the exact depth of the electric substation tie
circuit. This line must be a minimum of 36" below the final grade, or a minimum of 18" if the
entire area from the top of the duct bank to the final surface is backfilled with concrete (1000
psi minimum) - see comment #2 above. Backfilling with flow -fill is not adequate.

Stephen,
Following up our conversation from earlier today, please allow this email to serve as the City's position that
condition number 9 on page 2 of the DCP (Development Construction Permit) for the work out on
Overland and Rampart, referencing a warranty of 5 years for the improvements, does not apply to the
project. The City agrees to the term of a two year warranty as specified in the security letter from Brian
Chase to the City and accepted by Sheri Langenberger. Condition 9 is our standard template and was not
tweaked to reflect the understanding set forth in the letter from Mr. Chase.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Project: Utility Plans for Overland Trail at Rampart Road
Fort Collins, Colorado
Project No. 0801.00-RIC
On behalf of our client with the above referenced project, we are requesting variances
to the City's Standard Design Criteria. Per the Larimer County Urban Area Street
Standards, Sec. 8.2.8.A, corner radii shall meet the requirements of Table 8.2. For the
purposes of this design, the private Rampart Road is being treated as a Local street.
Table 8-2 indicates that a curb radius of 25 feet be used for an intersection of an Arterial
and a Local street. The proposed corner radii for this intersection are designed to be 30
feet.
The larger corner radius was requested by Colorado State University to accommodate
the anticipated truck traffic passing through the intersection. As shown on the attached
exhibit, a larger radius allows more room for trucks to maneuver. Even with the 30 foot
radius, larger trucks will still need to use caution, as with any city intersection. The
larger radius will facilitate smoother and safer truck movement through the intersection.
It is our opinion that the proposed design will adequately meet the intent of the
standards for the health, safety and welfare of the public.

Topic: General:
Number:6 Need City Signature block on these plans
Signature is on the plans
Number:26 See plans for additional comments
Additional comments have been looked at.
Number:28 Has a preliminary soils report been done? The plans include a
reference to a soils report that was done in 2005. This report has not been submitted
to the city of Ft. Collins
Soils report has been done and was submitted with original plans in
2005. Additional copies have been provided.
Number:42 Row needed at this time for ultimate improvements is 57 '/ feet from
the centerline. This amount does not include a future right turn lane if that would be
needed or desired by CSU when the road would go to a 4 lane section. The TIS
submitted doesn't identify if this will be a future need. So if only 57.5 is dedicated
then a future right turn lane will not be provided.
Additional ROW is being dedicated for the planned improvements.
Number:43 See notes on the plans regarding the typical sections for Overland
Trail. Two of the sections have the same label, but show different sections. Show
that the 4 foot gravel shoulder is being provided where you are not installing curb
and gutter. You indicate that there is 60 feet of existing ROW, I come up with closer
to 70 feet when I measure it on the county site.
Typical sections have been added to street sheet. Labels now include
stationing for clarity. The duplicate label has been corrected. Has
additional ROW been dedicated here recently? All of the existing ROW
shown is based upon recorded plats.
Number:45 One the plan view and in one of the x-sections there is a 20 inch ADS
pipe identified. ADS is not allowed within the ROW. This pipe if needed (I couldn't
figure out what it was for) will need to be replaced with a pipe that is allowed within
the ROW.
The pipe has been removed from the design.
Number:46 Add the following note to the plan and profile sheet- Limits of street cut
are approximate. Final limits are to be determined in the field by the City Engineering
Inspector. All repairs to be in accordance with the city street repair standard.
The note has been added
Number.47 Really need to pot hole and find out the exact location and elevation of
the electric system before these plans are finalized and approved. The vault if
correctly shown, minimum cover requirements for the roadway can not be met. If
minimum cover (minimum of 2 feet from top of vault to bottom of scarified subgrade)
then the lane(s) above the vault will need to be constructed in concrete. This needs
to be shown and noted on the plans. If the location and depth of the vault is not
determined before the plans are approved, we will need a set of as -built plans
showing the vault location and elevations, cover amount and what exactly is built to
be provided before the improvements will be accepted by the city
Potholes have been done for this area. DMW has coordinated the
design over the duct bank with Doug Martin.
Topic: Intersection:
Number:22 Provided a transition elevation and distance (if to be built like a street
intersection). This needs to be clarified- where is the flow line of Overland cross this
intersection
The cross sections needed to be revised and no longer indicate a flow
line across the intersection. There is only a slight warp to the pavement
to promote proper drainage.
Topic: Plan and Profile:
Number:8 What is the driveway at station 13+50 for? 14 feet probably doesn't meet
our minimum driveway width requirements. This driveway will need to be built per
standard detail with concrete to property line or beyond so that dragout of gravel and
dirt does not occur
The driveway was requested by utility companies to access equipment in
the right of way behind the new curb.
Number:9 Why are you putting in curb and gutter when this is an interim situation?
A roadside ditch along Overland Trail south of Rampart would have
possibly exposed the duct bank.
Number:11 The x-hatching you are using does not allow us to see the roadway
striping, lines or text behind it.
This has been cleaned up.
Number:12 Need to make sure that the x-hatching, text and line work meets City
scanning criteria. Can not read most of the plan view due to the line weights and x-
hatching.
Another view for existing has been added for clarity.
Number:13 Remove the notes regarding full depth asphalt. The pavement design is
not done until a final soils report is done. The pavement design for Rampart can stay
on the plans- it will just be for the portion of Rampart that is behind the ROW line.
The note has been removed
Number:14 How is the intersection with Rampart to be built? This is not a public
street. Need to show how this is to be designed and built. If going to have a cross
pan it needs to be concrete. Need to either build this like a street intersection or as a
driveway intersection. Follow the appropriate design requirements and include the
appropriate details.
The intersection will be built like a street intersection with no pan.
Number.15 The radii at Rampart- The radii shown do not meet standards. The radii
would be 20-25 feet per table 8-2 depending on whether this is considered a
driveway or equivalent to a street. If there is a reason for the greater radii, please
submit a variance request with information and turning templates showing the
improvements and why the greater radii is needed for consideration.
The Radii meets the larger radii requirements for CSU.
Number:16 For the dedication of new right-of-way. Please let me know if you need
sample documents for this dedication.
435' of 20' of ROW is being dedicated.
Number:17 Are there any of the utilities to be relocated or are they going under
pavement?
Several utilities are being relocated such as telephone and cable tv.
Other utilities, such as the electric duct bank will stay under the
pavement.
Number:18 The existing entry sign and rocks, please try and get this located out of
the future ROW. ROW needed at this time for ultimate improvements is 57 % feet
from centerline. This amount does not include a future right turn lane if that would be
needed or desired by CSU when the road would go to a 4 lane section.
A note has been added to place landscaping out of future ROW and
sight triangle
Number:20 Make sure it is clear that this is an interim improvement (flow line
profile, curb and gutter, pavement edge). In addition to the labeling you have done,
please make the label changes as shown on the redlined plans including adding
interim to the sheet titles for the Overland Trail x-sections.
Additional labeling has been added.
Number:44 Although you are providing interim improvements these improvements
still need to meet standards. There is one section where the flow line grades do not
meet minimum grade requirements. Minimum grade of 0.5% needs to be
maintained, the flow line in this area will need to be adjusted. Also have a few
locations where the maximum grade break is being exceeded.
The plans have been modified to be in better conformance with the
standards. In order to match the existing street and have acceptable
cross slopes, there had to be a few exceptions to some of these criteria.
Topic: x-section:
Number:25 Where you are not providing curb and gutter, you need to provide a
paved shoulder (2 foot minimum) and a gravel shoulder (4 foot min) beyond the
travel edge.
If the 6 feet of shoulder were to be used, the roadside ditch would
interfere with additional utilities.
Department: light and Power
Topic: Light and Power:
Number.2 There is a major, concrete, encased, electrical substation tie circuit along
the western side of Overland Trail that is not shown on the drawings. In some areas
they are changing the grade which may leave less than the minimum cover over this
line as required by the National Electric Safety Code. The NESC prescribed
minimum cover is 36 inches, but may be reduced by providing "supplemental
protection". This is defined as adding one inch on concrete to replace 2 inches of soil
over the top of the electric facilities. In other words, if concrete is added from the top
of the electric conduits all the way to the surface, the minimum depth maybe
reduced to 18"
This has been worked out and approved by Doug Martine.
Number.32 Sheet C3.1 includes a note referencing backfilling above the electric
duct bank with flowable badcflll. CSU needs to pothole the exact depth of the electric
substation tie circuit. This line must be a minimum of 36" below the final grade, or a
minimum of 18" of the entire area from the top of the duct bank to the final surface is
backfilled with concrete (1000 psi minimum)- see comment #2 above. Backfiliing
with flow -fill is not adequate.
This has been worked out and approved by Doug Martine.
Department: Traffic Operations
Topic: Traffic:
Number:34 Signage and Pavement Marking notes: Add to end of note #2, "or
epoxy paint". Please insert "traffic" between entity and engineer in note #6, Note
#11, and at 2 locations in note #14. Please insert "or their Designate" at the end of
the first sentence of note#11 (after local (Traffic) Engineer). Please insert "City of
Fort Collins, "after MUTCD, in note #14.
The notes have been updated.
Number:35 Please shown width of existing/ remaining lanes thru area of Overland
Trail roadway improvements.
Dimensions have been added for clarity of existing lanes.
Number:36 Please add a R1-1 Stop sign on east bound Rampart at Overland.
There is an existing stop sign at that location. Its placement will be
updated per intersection improvements.
Number:37 Need to indicate the dbl yellow striped medians on Overland.
Double yellow is indicated as symbol 7" on striping plan. Median striping
has been added and labeled with symbol "10".
Number:38 The attached A TIS Base Assumptions form does not indicate the
approving Local Entity Engineers name. Please provide.
I have asked the Traffic Engineer to provide this information and will
forward it on to you.
Number:39 Turn lane lengths are appropriate
Complete
Number:40 The TIS is acceptable to the city.
Complete
Number:41 All landscaping at the Overland and Rampart need to maintain sight
distances as per LCUASS standards. No ornamental trees within those sight
distances should be allowed.
A note has been added to place landscaping out of future ROW and
sight triangle
Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater
Topic: Stormwater:
Number:30 Does drainage go from the swale onto the curb and gutter? Erosion
concerns? Sediment on the street concern?
Drainage goes from street to a culvert under Overland Trail.
Number:33 Please provide a "drainage letter" discussing any changes in the
drainage patterns along the area proposed for improvements. Include the new curb -
cut and discuss where these flows, which have probably increased, go down stream.
A drainage letter was provided with the original submittal in 2005. An
additional copy is provided.

[3/1/05] Comment from Wes Lamarque in Stormwater.
Does drainage go from the swale onto the curb and gutter? Erosion concerns? Sediment
on street concern.

[2/28/05] comment from Doug Martine - Light and power
There is a major, concrete encased, electrical substation tie circuit along the western side of
Overland Trail that is not shown on the drawings. In some areas they are changing the
grade which may leave less than the minimum cover over this line as required by the
National Electric Safety Code. The NESC prescribed minimum cover is 36 inches, but may
be reduced by providing "supplemental protection". This is defined as adding one inch of
concrete to replace 2 inches of soil over the top of the electric facilities. In other words, if
concrete is added from the top of the electric conduits all the way to the surface, the
minimum depth maybe reduced to 18".

[2/28/05] The planset doesn't read very well. At this point I'm primarily concerned with
deciphering the proposed width of the bike lanes at this location. City standards call for 8'.
Please clarify. Thanks.
