SCOPE
This report presents the results of our Subgrade Investigation and Pave-
ment Design for the planned roadway improvements within Phase I of Fox Grove
in Fort Collins, Colorado. The purpose of our subgrade investigation was to de-
termine the subsurface conditions and to evaluate pavement support characteris-
tics. The report was conducted in general conformance with the Chapters 5 and
10 of the Larimer County Urban Areas Street Standards (LCUASS) updated Sep-
tember 2016, as adopted by the City of Fort Collins (City).
This report was prepared from data developed during field exploration, la-
boratory testing, engineering analysis, and experience with similar conditions.
The report includes a description of the subsurface conditions found in explorato-
ry borings and laboratory test results for the proposed neighborhood roadways.
If plans change significantly, we should be contacted to review our investigation
and determine if our recommendations still apply. A brief summary of our con-
clusions is presented below, with more detailed criteria and recommendations
contained in the report.
SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS
1. Soils encountered in our borings consisted of 4 to 8 feet of sand
and clay fill over native sand and gravel to the depths explored.
Bedrock was not encountered during our investigation. Groundwa-
ter was encountered in one boring during drilling at a depth of 8
feet.
2. The subgrade soils were variable and classified as A-1, A-2, A-2-6
and A-6 group materials.

SITE LOCATION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Fox Grove is located southeast of Interstate 25 and Highway 14 in Fort
Collins, Colorado. The project consists of constructing portions of Carriage
Parkway, Fox Grove Drive, Huntsman Drive and Vixen Drive and constructing all
of Kit Den Drive and Todd Drive. The area slopes down gradually to the south
with ground cover consisting of sparse vegetation.
FIELD AND LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
Our field investigation consisted of drilling eight borings to a depth of ap-
proximately 10 feet, logging the subsurface conditions, recording penetration-
resistance tests, and acquiring samples of the subgrade materials. The approx-
imate boring locations are shown on Figure 1. The borings were drilled with 4-
inch diameter solid-stem augers and a truck-mounted drill. Our field representa-
tive directed the field investigation and collected samples. Bulk samples were
obtained from the upper 4 feet of each boring. Drive samples were taken at se-
lected intervals in each boring by driving a modified California sampler with blows
from a 140-pound hammer falling 30 inches. Borings were backfilled following
drilling. Summary logs of the borings, including results of field penetration re-
sistance tests, are presented on Figure 2.
Samples were returned to our laboratory and examined by the geotech-
nical engineer for the project. Laboratory testing was performed in general ac-
cordance with AASHTO and ASTM methods to determine index properties, clas-
sification, and subgrade support values for those soil types influencing the pave-
ment design. Laboratory tests included moisture content, swell-consolidation,
Atterberg limits, particle size analysis, and water-soluble sulfate testing. A
Hveem stabilometer test was conducted on a combined sample of the upper 4

3
feet of our borings. Results of our laboratory tests are presented in Appendix A
and summarized in Table A-I.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Soils encountered in our borings consisted of 4 to 8 feet of sand and clay
fill with occasional gravel. The fill was underlain by sand and gravel to the
depths of explored. Bedrock was not encountered during this investigation. Sam-
ples of the fill tested indicated nil to 8.4 percent swell with only one sample swell-
ing greater than 2 percent. A Hveem stabilometer test was conducted on a com-
posite sample (S-1) of the upper 4 feet from all the borings. The test indicated an
R-value of 43, which we converted to a resilient modulus of 10,471 psi according
to CDOT criteria.
The sand and gravel encountered in our borings classified as loose to
dense based on field penetration test results. Laboratory testing indicated fines
contents (percent passing No. 200 sieve) of 5 and 7 percent. These soils are
considered low-swelling to non-expansive based on laboratory testing and our
experience.
One boring (TH-4) showed groundwater at 8 feet during the time of our in-
vestigation. There is a low risk of pavement performance when groundwater is
located at least 5 feet below the pavement section. Further description of the
subsurface conditions is presented on our boring logs (Figure 2) and in our la-
boratory test results (Appendix A).
SUBGRADE PREPARATION
Soil samples were tested for swell-consolidation. The majority of the soils
were low-swelling to non-expansive with the exception of one swell of 8.4 per-

4
cent. We judge the existing fill is suitable for support of the majority of the road-
way. If larger areas of clay fill are identified during construction, the clay fill
should be removed, moisture conditioned and recompacted to a minimum depth
of 2 feet. We believe chemical stabilization is not necessary for the soils encoun-
tered.
Subgrade soils that do not require stabilization can be prepared with con-
ventional moisture treatment and compaction. To prepare the subgrade for pav-
ing with conventional moisture treatment and compaction, subgrade soils should
be scarified a minimum of 12 inches deep and compacted to at least 95 percent
of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698, AASHTO T99). Sand fill
should be moisture conditioned to within 2 percent of optimum moisture content.
Clay fill should be moisture conditioned to 1 percent to 3 percent above optimum
moisture content before compaction.
Scarification and recompaction of the upper 12 inches of subgrade soils
should occur as close to the time of pavement construction as possible. The final
subgrade surface must be protected from excessive drying or wetting until such
time as the pavement section is constructed.
Maintaining moisture contents near optimum will be critical to avoid ex-
cessive deflections, rutting and pumping of the subgrade during subgrade prepa-
ration of streets. If moisture and density cannot be sufficiently controlled during
subgrade preparation and stabilization is required, chemical stabilization, stabili-
zation by removal and replacement, or stabilization using geotextiles and import-
ed granular materials may be used. For isolated or small areas requiring stabili-
zation, removal and replacement or “crowding” crushed, coarse aggregate into
the subgrade may be effective. If large areas require stabilization, chemical
treatment of the soils may be a more effective alternative.

PAVEMENT DESIGN
New construction is planned for portions of Carriage Parkway, Fox Grove
Drive, Huntsman Drive and Vixen Drive and all of Kit Den Drive and Tod Drive.
We understand roadway construction is regulated by the Larimer County Urban
Area Street Standards (LCUASS) which requires the use of the AASHTO pave-
ment design methods for their roadways. These design methods require input
parameters for traffic projections for a specified design life, roadway classifica-
tion, characteristics of the subgrade materials, type and strength characteristics
of pavement materials, groundwater conditions, drainage conditions, condition of
the existing pavement, number of construction stages, minimum pavement sec-
tions, and statistical data.
Traffic Projections
Traffic projections were provided by City of Fort Collins personnel using a
20-year design life. Traffic projections are expressed as an 18-kip Equivalent
Daily Load Application (EDLA) for a single day and as an 18-kip Equivalent Sin-
gle Axle Load (ESAL) for the design life. Table A presents the Design ESALs
used with our calculations.

Pavement Thickness Calculations
We used AASHTO Design methods to develop our pavement thickness
recommendations for both flexible and rigid pavements with input values provid-
ed by the City, LCUASS, and our laboratory tests and observations. For our de-
sign, we assumed the pavement will be constructed during a single stage. Input
values including initial and terminal serviceability indices, reliability factor, layer
strength coefficients, and minimum sections were provided by LCUASS for the
planned roadways. Other input values not specified by LCUASS were estimated
based on our experience with similar projects.
Pavement Recommendations
For our design, we assume the pavement will be constructed during a sin-
gle stage. If multiple-stage construction is desired, we should be consulted to
revise our recommendations. Our pavement thickness calculations did not in-
clude credit towards chemically treated subgrade soils or the design of a soil/fly
ash mixture. If plans change, we are available to perform a soil/fly ash lime mix
design.
We have provided pavement design alternatives for new construction in-
cluding hot mix asphalt (HMA) on aggregate base course (ABC), and portland
cement concrete (PCC) pavement. Our pavement thickness alternatives are
presented on Table B. Additional discussion regarding advantages and disad-
vantages of the pavement alternatives and their expected performance is includ-
ed under the PAVEMENT SELECTION section of this report.

PAVEMENT SELECTION
Both HMA/ABC composite (flexible) and PCC (rigid) pavements are ex-
pected to perform well for the roadways. However, PCC pavement has better
performance in freeze-thaw conditions and should require less long-term mainte-
nance than HMA pavement. PCC pavement is also recommended for sections
that may experience frequent stopping and turning, heavy point loads, or chemi-
cal spills.
SUBGRADE AND PAVEMENT MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
The construction materials are assumed to possess sufficient quality as
reflected by the strength factors used in our design calculations. Materials and
construction requirements of LCUASS should be followed.

Based on the results of laboratory testing and LCUASS, we believe that
mitigation for swell will not be required. Only one of twelve fill samples tested
swelled beyond 2 percent. We judge the existing fill is suitable for support of the
majority of the roadway. If larger areas of clay fill are identified during construc-
tion, the clay fill should be removed, moisture conditioned and recompacted to a
minimum depth of 2 feet. We believe conventional moisture treatment and com-
paction of the subgrade is appropriate for these conditions.
These criteria were developed from analysis of the field and laboratory
data, our experience and LCUASS requirements. If the materials cannot meet
these requirements, our pavement recommendations should be re-evaluated
based upon available materials. The use of recycled materials, such as recycled
asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete may be used in place of aggre-
gate base course provided they meet minimum R-values and gradations estab-
lished by LCUASS and CDOT. Materials planned for construction should be
submitted and the applicable laboratory tests performed to verify compliance with
the specifications. Recommendations for subgrade and pavement materials and
construction are presented in Appendix B.
MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance, such as sealing and repair of cracks, is necessary
to achieve the long-term life of a pavement system. We recommend a preven-
tive maintenance program be developed and followed for all pavement systems
to assure the design life can be realized. Choosing to defer maintenance usually
results in accelerated deterioration leading to higher future maintenance costs,
and/or repair. A recommended maintenance program is outlined in Appendix C.

Excavation of completed pavement for utility construction or repair can
destroy the integrity of the pavement and result in a severe decrease in service-
ability. To restore the pavement top original serviceability, careful backfill com-
paction before repaving is necessary.
WATER-SOLUBLE SULFATES
Concrete that is exposed to sulfate-rich soils can be subject to sulfate at-
tack. If concrete pavements or structures will not be in contact with sulfate-rich
soils, by means of an aggregate base course layer or other materials, the risk of
sulfate attack should be low. We measured water-soluble sulfate concentrations
in eight samples from this site; concentrations were 0.01 percent or less. Water-
soluble sulfate concentrations less than 0.1 percent indicate Class 0 exposure to
sulfate attack for concrete that is exposed to the soils, according to the American
Concrete Institute (ACI). For this level of sulfate concentration, ACI indicates any
type of cement can be used for concrete that is exposed to the soils. In our ex-
perience, superficial damage may occur to the exposed surfaces of highly per-
meable concrete, even though sulfate levels are relatively low. To control this
risk and to resist freeze-thaw deterioration, the water-to-cementitious material
ratio should not exceed 0.50 for concrete in contact with soils that are likely to
stay moist due to surface drainage or high water tables. Concrete should be air
entrained.
LIMITATIONS

SUBGRADE PREPARATION
Moisture Treated Subgrade (MTS)
1. The subgrade should be stripped of organic matter, scarified, mois-
ture treated and compacted to the specifications stated below in
Item 2. The compacted subgrade should extend at least 3 feet be-
yond the edge of the pavement where no edge support, such as
curb and gutter, are to be constructed.
2. Sandy and gravelly soils (A-1-a, A-1-b, A-3, A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-
2-7) should be moisture conditioned near optimum moisture content
and compacted to at least 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum
dry density (ASTM D 698, AASHTO T 99). Clayey soils (A-6, A-7-5,
A-7-6) should be moisture conditioned between optimum and 3 per-
cent above optimum moisture content and compacted to at least 95
percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density (ASTM D 698,
AASHTO T 99).
3. Utility trenches and all subsequently placed fill should be properly
compacted and tested prior to paving. As a minimum, fill should be
compacted to 95 percent of standard Proctor maximum dry density.
4. Final grading of the subgrade should be carefully controlled so the
design cross-slope is maintained and low spots in the subgrade that
could trap water are eliminated.
5. Once final subgrade elevation has been compacted and tested to
compliance and shaped to the required cross-section, the area
should be proof-rolled using a minimum axle load of 18 kips per ax-
le. The proof-roll should be performed while moisture contents of
the subgrade are still within the recommended limits. Drying of the
subgrade prior to proof-roll or paving should be avoided.
6. Areas that are observed by the Engineer that have soft spots in the
subgrade, or where deflection is not uniform of soft or wet subgrade
shall be ripped, scarified, dried or wetted as necessary and recom-
pacted to the requirements for the density and moisture. As an al-
ternative, those areas may be sub-excavated and replaced with
properly compacted structural backfill. Where extensively soft,
yielding subgrade is encountered; we recommend a representative
of our office observe the excavation.

B-2
Chemically Stabilized Subgrade (CSS)
1. Utility trenches and all subsequently placed fill should be properly
compacted and tested prior to subgrade preparation. As a mini-
mum, fill should be compacted to 95 percent of standard Proctor
maximum dry density.
2. The subgrade should be stripped of organic matter and should be
shaped to final line and grade.
3. The contractor or owner’s representative should have a mix design
performed in general accordance with ASTM D 558 using the actu-
al site soils and the approved stabilizing agent (lime, fly ash or a
combination of lime and fly ash). Scheduling should allow at least
two weeks for the mix design to be completed prior to construction.
4. High calcium quicklime should conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 977 and ASTM C 110. Dolomitic quicklime, magnesia
quicklime with magnesium oxide contents in excess of 4 percent, or
carbonated quicklime should not be used.
5. Fly ash should consist of Class C in accordance with ASTM C 593
and C 618.
6. All stabilizing agents should come from the same source as used in
the mix design. If the source is changed, a new mix design should
be performed.
7. Stabilizing agents should be spread with a mechanical spreader
from back of curb to back of curb for detached sidewalks or back of
walk to back of walk for attached sidewalks, where applicable.
8. The subgrade should be mixed to the specified depth and at the
specified concentration until a uniform blend of soil, stabilizing
agent and water is obtained and the moisture content is at least 2
percent (for fly ash) and 3 percent (for lime) above the optimum
moisture content of the design mixture (ASTM D 558).
9. If lime is used, a mellowing period of up to seven days may be re-
quired following initial mixing. Once the pH of the mixture is 12.3 or
higher and the plasticity index is less than 10, the soils shall again
be mixed and moisture conditioned to at least 3 percent over opti-
mum moisture content and compacted to at least 95 percent of the
mixture’s maximum dry density (ASTM D 558). Up to sev-

en additional days may be required for curing prior to paving. The
treated surface shall be kept moist or sealed with emulsified as-
phalt. Traffic should not be allowed on the surface during the mel-
lowing and curing periods.
10. If fly ash is used, the mixture should be moisture conditioned to at
least 2 percent over optimum moisture content and compacted to at
least 95 percent of the mixture’s maximum dry density (ASTM D
558) within 2 hours from the time of initial fly ash mixing.
11. If a lime/fly ash combination is used, the lime should be mixed first
and allowed to mellow as indicated for lime treatment in item 9.
Following the mellowing period, the fly ash should be added, mois-
ture conditioned and compacted as indicated above within 2 hours
of initial fly ash mixing.
12. Samples of loose, blended stabilizing agent/soil mixture should be
sampled by a representative of CTL Thompson, Inc. for compres-
sive strength testing (ASTM D 1663) to determine compliance (op-
tional) when full credit for the FASS layer is used in the pavement
thickness design.
13. Batch tickets should be supplied to the owner or owner’s repre-
sentative with the application area for that batch to determine com-
pliance with the recommended proportions of fly ash to soil.
14. The subgrade should be re-shaped to final line and grade.
15. The subgrade should be sealed with a pneumatic-tire roller that is
sufficiently light in weight so as to not cause hairline cracking of the
subgrade.
16. Where sulfate concentrations are over 0.5 percent, a double treat-
ment method should be performed. When a double treatment is re-
quired, the first half of the stabilizing agent should be placed, mois-
ture treated and allowed to mellow or cure for at least two weeks.
The remaining half of the stabilizing agent plus an additional 0.5
(for lime) to 2 (for fly ash) percent shall then be applied.
17. Mixing of the fly ash, lime, or lime/fly ash treated subgrade should
not occur if the temperature of the soil mixture is below 40o
F.
18. We recommend a minimum of 2 days curing prior to paving. The
surface of the stabilized area should be kept moist during the cure
period by periodic, light sprinkling if needed. Strength gains will be

slower during cooler weather. Traffic should not be permitted on
the treated subgrade during the curing period. The subgrade
should be protected from freezing or drying at all times until paving.
19. The treated areas will gain greater strength if they are allowed to
cure for 1 to 3 days prior to paving. Construction traffic on the
treated subgrade prior to pavement section construction should be
limited and the subgrade should be protected from freezing or dry-
ing at all times until paving.
20. Placement, mixing and compaction of stabilized subgrade should
be observed and tested by a representative of our firm.
Geogrid Stabilized Subgrade (GSS)
1. Utility trenches and all subsequently placed fill should be properly
compacted and tested prior to subgrade preparation. As a mini-
mum, fill should be compacted to 95 percent of standard Proctor
maximum dry density.
2. For areas identified as requiring stabilization, at least 3 feet of soil
should be removed from below the subgrade elevations and dis-
carded or stockpiled for reuse.
3. The sub-excavation should be flat so that there are no ridges or de-
pressions prior to placement of the geogrid.
4. Tensar® BX1100 geogrid, or equal, should be placed over the sub-
excavation, making any overlaps at seams per the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
5. Recycled concrete or other crushed, granular material should be
placed and compacted over the geogrid, being careful not to cause
any distortion of the geogrid. Construction equipment should not be
allowed over the surface until at least 18 inches of fill overlies the
geogrid.
6. The crushed concrete or other approved fill should have a maxi-
mum particle size no more than 3 inches and at least 50 percent
fractured faces. The top 12 inches of the fill may consist of the na-
tive soil that was removed from the sub-excavation.
7. The native soil fill should be compacted and proof-rolled to the re-
quirements for the MTS.

should not commence until the underlying subgrade is properly
prepared and tested.
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA)
1. HMA should be composed of a mixture of aggregate, filler, hydrated
lime and asphalt cement. Some mixes may require polymer modi-
fied asphalt cement, or make use of up to 20 percent reclaimed as-
phalt pavement (RAP). A job mix design is recommended and pe-
riodic checks on the job site should be made to verify compliance
with specifications.
2. HMA should be relatively impermeable to moisture and should be
designed with crushed aggregates that have a minimum of 80 per-
cent of the aggregate retained on the No. 4 sieve with two mechan-
ically fractured faces.
3. Gradations that approach the maximum density line (within 5 per-
cent between the No. 4 and 50 sieves) should be avoided. A gra-

weight of the aggregate and should be included in the amount pass-
ing the No. 200 sieve. Hydrated lime for aggregate pretreatment
should conform to the requirements of ASTM C 207, Type N.
7. Paving should be performed on properly prepared, unfrozen sur-
faces that are free of water, snow and ice. Paving should only be
performed when both air and surface temperatures equal, or ex-
ceed, the temperatures specified in Table 401-3 of the 2006 Colo-
rado Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for
Road and Bridge Construction.
8. HMA should not be placed at a temperature lower than 245o
F for
mixes containing PG 64-22 asphalt, and 290o
F for mixes containing
polymer-modified asphalt. The breakdown compaction should be
completed before the HMA temperature drops 20o

13. Placement and compaction of HMA should be observed and tested
by a representative of our firm. Placement should not commence
until approval of the proof rolling as discussed in the Subgrade
Preparation section of this report. Sub base, base course or initial
pavement course shall be placed within 48 hours of approval of the
proof rolling. If the Contractor fails to place the sub base, base
course or initial pavement course within 48 hours or the condition of
the subgrade changes due to weather or other conditions, proof roll-
ing and correction shall be performed again.
Portland Cement Concrete (PCC)
1. Portland cement concrete should consist of Class P of the 2005
CDOT - Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction
specifications for normal placement or Class E for fast-track pro-
jects. PCC should have a minimum compressive strength of 4,200
psi at 28 days and a minimum modulus of rupture (flexural strength)
of 650 psi. Job mix designs are recommended and periodic checks
on the job site should be made to verify compliance with specifica-
tions.
2. Portland cement should be Type II “low alkali” and should conform
to ASTM C 150.
3. Portland cement concrete should not be placed when the subgrade
or air temperature is below 40°F.
4. Concrete should not be placed during warm weather if the mixed
concrete has a temperature of 90°F, or higher.
5. Mixed concrete temperature placed during cold weather should
have a temperature between 50°F and 90°F.
6. Free water should not be finished into the concrete surface. Atom-
izing nozzle pressure sprayers for applying finishing compounds
are recommended whenever the concrete surface becomes difficult
to finish.
LC HOMES AT FOX GROVE, LLC

CTL T PROJECT NO. FC07952-135
B-4
7. Curing of the portland cement concrete should be accomplished by
the use of a curing compound. The curing compound should be
applied in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
8. Curing procedures should be implemented, as necessary, to pro-
tect the pavement against moisture loss, rapid temperature change,
freezing, and mechanical injury.
9. Construction joints, including longitudinal joints and transverse
joints, should be formed during construction or sawed after the
concrete has begun to set, but prior to uncontrolled cracking.
10. All joints should be properly sealed using a rod back-up and ap-
proved epoxy sealant.
11. Traffic should not be allowed on the pavement until it has properly
cured and achieved at least 80 percent of the design strength, with
saw joints already cut.
12. Placement of portland cement concrete should be observed and
tested by a representative of our firm. Placement should not com-
mence until the subgrade is properly prepared and tested.

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
LC HOMES AT FOX GROVE, LLC
FOX GROVE SUBDIVISION
CTL T PROJECT NO. FC07952-135
C-1
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS
A primary cause for deterioration of pavements is oxidative aging resulting in brittle
pavements. Tire loads from traffic are necessary to "work" or knead the asphalt concrete to
keep it flexible and rejuvenated. Preventive maintenance treatments will typically preserve the
original or existing pavement by providing a protective seal or rejuvenating the asphalt binder
to extend pavement life.
1. Annual Preventive Maintenance
a. Visual pavement evaluations should be performed each spring or fall.
b. Reports documenting the progress of distress should be kept current to pro-
vide information on effective times to apply preventive maintenance treat-
ments.
c. Crack sealing should be performed annually as new cracks appear.
2. 3 to 5 Year Preventive Maintenance
a. The owner should budget for a preventive treatment at approximate intervals
of 3 to 5 years to reduce oxidative embrittlement problems.
b. Typical preventive maintenance treatments include chip seals, fog seals, slur-
ry seals and crack sealing.
3. 5 to 10 Year Corrective Maintenance
a. Corrective maintenance may be necessary, as dictated by the pavement con-
dition, to correct rutting, cracking and structurally failed areas.
b. Corrective maintenance may include full depth patching, milling and overlays.
c. In order for the pavement to provide a 20-year service life, at least one major
corrective overlay should be expected.

C-2
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RIGID PAVEMENTS
High traffic volumes create pavement rutting and smooth, polished surfaces. Preventive
maintenance treatments will typically preserve the original or existing pavement by providing a
protective seal and improving skid resistance through a new wearing course.
1. Annual Preventive Maintenance
a. Visual pavement evaluations should be performed each spring or fall.
b. Reports documenting the progress of distress should be kept current to pro-
vide information of effective times to apply preventive maintenance.
c. Crack sealing should be performed annually as new cracks appear.
2. 4 to 8 Year Preventive Maintenance
a. The owner should budget for a preventive treatment at approximate intervals
of 4 to 8 years to reduce joint deterioration.
b. Typical preventive maintenance for rigid pavements includes patching, crack
sealing and joint cleaning and sealing.
c. Where joint sealants are missing or distressed, resealing is mandatory.
3. 15 to 20 Year Corrective Maintenance
a. Corrective maintenance for rigid pavements includes patching and slab re-
placement to correct subgrade failures, edge damage and material failure.
b. Asphalt concrete overlays may be required at 15 to 20 year intervals to im-
prove the structural capacity of the pavement.
