Verify that the environmental document has been pursued for this clearing.Note #3 stating “The Contractor shall clear right-of-way to right-of-way and/or easements in advance of utility relocation” will be deleted to avoid exceptions such as in Environmentally Sensitive Area(s) (ESA) designated in the plans where the contractor shall clear to the limits of the orange barrier fence or in the heavily wooded infield areas of the interchange where the contractor shall clear to the construction limits shown in the plans.

Notes 5 & 6 are the same note, strike one.Will delete duplicate note regarding contractor responsible for acquiring borrow and waste pits

The Pipe Culvert Materials Alternates does not match the chart in the Approved Soil Survey. If the District 5 Construction Office and/or Camden County want to use the provided chart, a letter should be written to GDOT Office of Materials and Research (Ian Rish) for approval.Will revise pipe culvert materials alternates to match chart in approved soil survey

The Approved Soil Survey contained a Filter Fabric Placement Detail containing station numbers for its use. Please add this detail to the notes.Will add Filter Fabric Placement Detail to general notes


05-XXX TYPICAL SECTIONS

GDOT has defined the Safety Edge as the standard treatment for the outside edge of all uncurbed pavements whether edge of travel lane or shoulder (excluding pavement behind guardrail). If it is not practical to provide the Safety Edge, then a decision to omit shall require a comprehensive study by an engineer and the prior approval of a Design Variance from the GDOT Chief Engineer. The Safety Edge placement should be noted on the construction plan typical sections, with reference to GDOT Construction Detail P-7 for details and method of quantity calculation. Verify that Safety Edge treatment is referenced throughout Typical Sections accordingly.

Will add Const Detail P-7 to index and final plans. Will reference detail on all applicable typical sections

In accordance with the PPG Section 05.002 Required Information, Minimum and maximum dimensions of variable-width features shall be labeled.Will add min and max dimensions to variable widths

Per the GDOT Pavement Design Manual, if paving material is supplied from Florida or soil cement, top soil or other soil bases are used, then show a Square Yard measure for payment if weighing is inconvenient. If Square Yard measurement is specified, the typical section shall be clearly dimensioned along the top finished surface and dimensions noted as the “Width of Payment.”

Will coordinate with others to determine “if weighing is inconvenient” prior to dimensioning and labeling Width of Payment along the top finished surface of roadway typical(s) per GDOT Pavement Design Manual. According to the Design Manual, Appendix I, soil-cement is not to be used in hatched area which encompasses Camden County.

Due to the very granular native soils found in this region, District 5 Construction Office recommends that the graded aggregate base be deleted underneath the proposed curb & gutter. Curb and gutter constructed in this region of Georgia is normally installed directly on the subgrade.Will delete GAB under and behind curb and gutter

Revise the typical sections to clearly define the paving and base courses. Remove the flags “Pavement Section No. 1” and “Pavement Section No. 2”. Revise the Pavement Legend by adding a “callout” for each course. Flag each course with appropriate callout.Will delete GAB under and behind curb and gutter

Include Pavement Reinforcement Fabric for area where you’re widening existing. Add the Pavement Reinforcement Fabric detail.

Will reference to applicable typical sections and add Pavement Reinf Fabric Details

Drawing 05-001

Provide the stationing for Typical Section No. 1. It appears this typical section begins at STA 16+00.

Will add STA 16+00 to TS N0. 1

Drawing 05-005

Revise Typical Section No. 9 to show removal of the existing pavement from the face of the curb and gutter to under the raised median.Will show and label existing pavement removal


The District 5 Construction Office recommends showing areas within Typical Section No. 10 and Typical Section No. 11 as Mill and Inlay resurfacing.Will show and label mill and inlay on typical sections and x-sections

Drawing 05-009

Verify the Profile Grade location. It appears it should be located at the right side of the median as shown in the cross sections.The profile grade is shown on the construction centerline of the rural section. The 2’ gutter and 2’ additional pavement width for the turn lane left of the PGL slopes the same as the eastbound thru lanes for sheet flow away from the proposed median. The elevation difference between the proposed median pavement and the existing surrounding ground cannot accommodate an outfall from a median drainage structure which would intercept the runoff prior to crossing Colerain Road as concentrated flow.

Drawing 05-011

The current ramps are in bad condition. Consider upgrading ramps to PCC.In the August 31, 2009 Value Engineering Study-Responses number 13, Value Engineering Recommendation RD-19- Overlay existing Ramps and widen to the inside, it was noted that District 5 representatives commented in the Value Engineering introduction meeting that “There are no visible problems with the existing ramp pavement. Therefore it is recommended that the existing ramps be milled or leveled, overlayed and widened where feasible within the limits of reconstruction.” An e-mail dated September 29, 2009 stated that the “PDC concurs with the District to overlay the existing ramps and reconstruct the interchange to current standards in a future Widening and Interchange Improvement Project.” The September 30, 2009 Value Engineering Implementation Approval Letter recommended implementing the VE Study Alternative RD-19, Overlay existing Ramps and widen to the inside.

The construction plans currently show the southbound off-ramp to be overlayed and widened, the northbound off-ramp to be overlayed and widened with minimum reconstruction to tie to the proposed Colerain Road and the southbound and northbound on-ramps to be reconstructed to tie to the proposed Colerain Road.

The June 17, 2009 correspondence from the GDOT Office of Materials & Research regarding Pavement Type Selection and Pavement Design Recommendation recommended an asphalt pavement section in lieu of concrete for any required full depth reconstruction.

Drawing 05-012

Verify if there we be any work along I-95. Typical Section No. 20 shows no work to be performed on I-95 but Drawing 15-002 & 35-0001 appears to have widening and a TP 7W wall along the face of the columns. Please clarify.Will show and label 4” concrete slope paving at bridge end rolls and median ditch per 15-002. Proposed roadway template on bridge P&E drawing 35-001 will be revised match drawing 15-002 versus ultimate I-95 build out.

Drawing 05-015

Revise the Rural Shoulder w/Guardrail Detail to show full depth shoulder to the face of guardrail, then topping to the shoulder break point, add Asphalt Curb.Will revise typical per comment and add asphalt concrete spillways Ga Const Detail D-26 where required


The new 31-inch guardrail standards use a 12” offset block instead of the 8” offset block used on the 27” guardrail. Revise the shoulder width dimension to account for the additional 4 inches. If 2’ distance from back of post to shoulder break is not provided a 9’ post is required. Ensure 9’ posts are noted as required for guardrail.Will increase rural shoulder with guardrail width from 15’-6” (10’+2’+3’-6”) to 15’-10” (10’+2’+3’-10”) and urban shoulder with guardrail from 19’-6” to 19’-10” on drawing 5-15 and cross-sections.

06-XXX SUMMARY OF QUANTITIES

Please ensure correct pay items and quantities are entered into CES (Cost Estimation System) after the plans have been revised according to the PFPR Inspection comments.Will update CES upon completing PFPR comments

10-XXX TRAFFIC DIAGRAM SHEETS

Specify year for PHF diagrams.Will add applicable year and “Hour” where omitted to Peak Hour in legend. MAAI will add “ADT” where omitted in legend and revise title block to read Year “2017” & 2037 Average Daily Traffic

11-XXX CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT/STAKE-OUT SHEET

No comment.

13-XXX MAINLINE ROADWAY PLAN SHEETS

General Comments

Ensure when text needs to be vertical, it is placed on the plan sheet parallel to the right edge of the sheet, reading from the bottom of the sheet to the top of the sheet.Will evaluate comment on sheet by sheet basis

Ensure that the ESA notes are placed on ALL plan sheets where an ESA exists.Will add ESA note to cover sheet and WL #5 drawing 13-08

Callout type of curb cut ramps/wheelchair ramps (WCR) proposed.Will label all WCR Types

Add the structure number to all drainage structures. Add TP. 3 Rip Rap at all outlets.Will label all drainage structure numbers on plans and add TP 3 riprap at all outlets

Flag the end of curb and gutter station on side streets, in accordance with the PPG Section 13.002 Required Information.Will label all end C & G stations on side streets and mainline

There are many drainage structures in the median, it does not appear drainage will enter these boxes. Verify the need for these boxes. The District 5 Construction Office recommends sloping all pavement from the median toward the outside.The profile grade is shown on the construction centerline of the urban section. At locations with normal crown the 2’ gutter and 2’ additional pavement width for the turn lane left of the PGL slopes down towards the proposed median. The elevation difference between the proposed median and outside edge of pavement can accommodate a pipe from the median drainage structure. Sloping said gutter and pavement away from the median would result in exceeding the max 8’ gutter spread therefore requiring additional catch basins along the outside edge of pavement. The proposed pavement cross slope would require warping to match the normal crown through the width of the median opening.


Flag all R/W Markers with station and offset. Ensure R/W Markers are provided at each PC, PT.Will label Sta/ Offsets for all changes in r/w alignment

Several un-signalized locations show multi-lane approaches to Colerain, redesign w/ 75’R, concrete island, etc.Will evaluate comment on intersection by intersection basis

Ensure the proposed 4 ft/2 ft flat bottom ditches is located within right of way (throughout).Will revise required r/w width to include roadway longitudinal ditches

Determine if easement should be added, STA 26+60+/- to STA 27+50 +/- RT, between the driveway easement and the required right of way for Service Road # 2.Will add Easement for the Construction and Maintenance of Slopes

Drawing 13-002

Flag the Limit of Construction on Relocated Service Road #2.Will label the Limit of Construction

It appears 2 TP A WCRs are shown in the nose of the median, STA 35+03 +/-. Verify there is room for 2 WCRs or use cut-thru ramps. All TP A ramps require a 5’ diameter maneuvering room at the top, i.e. ramps cannot join each other in islands.Will revise WCR’s to cut-thru ramp

WCR should be parallel to crosswalks, i.e. direct pedestrians into crosswalk. An additional WCR is needed in the SW quadrant for the EB travel crossing the I-95 SB On Ramp.An additional WCR will be added to the sw quadrant for the x-walk across I-95 on-ramp

No acquisition is indicated for Parcel 8, but it appears required right of way and LA should be added for the proposed 4 ft flat bottom ditch along the southbound on ramp. It is unclear whether right of way will be needed for Service Road #2.Will label, correct line weight and add r/w monuments to the required R/W & L/A line shown on Parcel 8 approx. Sta 51+60 to Sta 53+00. Will also label Parcel 8 property line from Local Service Rd # 2 to Colerain Rd as “existing r/w”.

Determine if the L/A fence in the NW quadrant in the area of the new acquired R/W should be replaced. If so, please add to plans and quantities.Will label “6’ L/A fence” on all Reqd R/W and L/A lines and “Tie to exist L/A fence” at appropriate locations

Drawing 13-003


Place the note at the top left of the page concerning contaminated soil on parcels 9, 10, and 14 in Section 4 Project Specific Notes. In addition, move the note down to the bottom right of this sheet so that it is more prominent.Will copy note to section 4 under Project Specific Notes and add “Parcel 46”. Will move to bottom right corner drawing 13-04, 14-05, 14-06 and 13-12.

It appears that additional WCRs are needed in the NE & SE quadrants for the crosswalks crossing the I-95 ramps.Will modify or add WCRs to conform to the crosswalk layout

It appears 2 TP A WCRs are shown in the nose of the median, STA 51+30 +/-. Verify there is room for 2 WCRs or use cut-thru ramps. All TP A ramps require a 5’ diameter maneuvering room at the top, i.e. ramps cannot join each other in islands.Will revise WCR’s to cut-thru ramp

Add WCRs or cut-thru ramps for the islands located at STA 56+10 +/- LT & RT. Provide information for construction of ramp, type, type face, etc.Will add type, Sta/ Off/ Radii and WCR’s or cut-thru ramp to rt in/rt out islands

Required L/A should be added to the REQ’D R/W bump out for the NB off ramp drainage structure on Parcel 13. The 30 inch pipe should also be extended to allow installation of L/A fencing.Will add “& L/A” to Reqd R/W box-out and label “6’ L/A fence” and “Tie to exist L/A fence” at appropriate locations

Shift the REQ’D L/A line to coincide with the REQ’D R/W line on Parcel 12.Will revise Reqd R/W through Parcel 12 and along property line Parcel 12 & 14 to read Reqd R/W & “L/A”, label “6’ L/A fence” and “Tie to exist L/A fence” at appropriate locations

It appears that the REQ’D R/W line on Parcels 14, 15, & 16 should be shifted southward to accommodate and include the proposed 4 ft flat bottom ditch and the driveway piping under the driveway for Parcel 14. Will revise required r/w width to include roadway longitudinal ditches and side drain pipes

The header curb proposed between the two driveways for Parcel 10 should be located just inside the right of way, not in temporary easement.Will reconstruct face of header curb 6” inside existing R/W and revise driveway radius returns accordingly

Drawing 13-004

Delete Parcels 22 & 25 as no acquisition is indicated.Will delete Parcel 22 & 25 as shown

It appears Jimmy Lane is not a public R/W, but is instead the flag stem portion of a larger interior parcel for which it provides access to Colerain Road. It appears a parcel number should be assigned.Will add Parcel

Determine the need for the extravagant drive at STA 130+00 LT. Drive does not have to align with median opening.The proposed driveway is located to eliminate the need for a westbound eyebrow to accommodate u-turns that would be required to access the existing drive. According to the approved Access Plan provided to MAAI there will be no future driveway access permitted on Colerain Road between Wildcat Drive Sta 119+99 and this median opening.

Change rip rap at STA 126+95 LT to TP. 3 instead of TP. 1.Will revise to TP 3 Riprap

Drawing 13-009

Add WCRs to the island, STA 141+25 RT.Will add WCR’s or cut thru to island, or redesign crosswalk

Drawing 13-010

Consider beginning the full depth construction (Typical Section No. 5) outside of the Settlers Hammock Way radius returns, STA 155+00 +/-.Radius returns are Sta 154+60 Lt and 154+57 Rt. The max overlay and variable depth leveling is approximately 12” at cross sections Sta 154+50 and Sta 155+00. If this pavement section is acceptable to we will revise the “End Overlay and Widening and Begin Full Depth Pavement” station beyond the radius returns.

Settlers Hammock Way appears to be a private road. The project proposes to install 30 inch pipe and other drainage structures along the private road, within temporary easement. The proposed drainage structures appear to conduct stormwater runoff into the public drainage system. The drainage structures and pipe should be placed in permanent easement at a minimum, preferably in right of way. Driveway easement may also be required to accommodate the tie-in.The proposed relocated pipe and drainage structures along Settlers Hammock Way, a private road, replace in kind the existing system which serves as detention for the site.


Once constructed the responsibility for maintenance of the system should remain with the existing authority(s). The Easement for Construction of Drainage shown provides a sufficient width of approximately 20’ beyond the limit of pavement.

Appears the existing sign for Settlers Hammock will be damaged. Note the location of sign on plans.Will label sign with station (sign between two brick pillars w/ lights) to be acquired

Flag to tie to existing V gutter for Settlers Hammock Way.Will label Sta/ Offsets and tie to existing curb

Determine how the existing sidewalk at church is to be handled, STA 267+50 +/-. There is no sidewalk proposed for this section for it to join.The impacted portion of existing sidewalk runs approximately 16’ to 18’ off and parallel to the existing driveway from the front of the building to the existing R/W of the rural roadway which currently provides no sidewalk tie. The existing sidewalk would be saw-cut at the proposed construction limit. Further disposition of the sidewalk could be handled in the R/W Phase for Parcel.

There is an existing drive with gate being closed off, STA 271+50 +/- LT. Verify that this drive is no longer needed.Will verify if relocated driveway shown Sta 283+56 Lt can access the area currently served by driveway Sta 271+50 Lt. If not then we will add a proposed driveway to maintain access

Drawing 13-020

The plans indicate an existing right of way for a drainage ditch right of Station 288+00(+/-). The acquisition of a permanent easement within the existing right of way is indicated, but is not necessary if in fact the existing ditch right of way is public right of way.Will delete the proposed Easement for Construction and Maintenance of Slopes shown within the existing R/W limits

Access to drainage easement closed off both sides of roadway.Will develop and submit for approval an access plan to the City’s existing r/w for drainage ditch as graphically provided on the City’s existing water and sewer plans received August 7, 2006.

There is no median break between Winding Road & Kings Bay Road, 5412 LF. Consider adding a break on this sheet.Will develop and submit for approval a median break between Winding Rd and Kings Bay Rd.

Drawing 14-005

The Concrete Header Curb, TP 2 on the north side of Relocated Brazell Road is shown off of R/W and in easement. Move the Concrete Header Curb, TP 2 to the R/W line.Will show the proposed face of header curb 6” inside Reqd R/W south as well as north side of Reloc Brazell Rd

Drawing 14-006

The proposed realigned/relocated Brazell Road on the north side of Colerain Road and the associated right of way acquisition appears to be legally defensible due to Brazell Road being an existing public right of way that serves multiple property owners besides just the two gas station sites located in the northeast quadrant of I-95 and Colerain Road. However, the service road proposed for the southeast quadrant does not appear to be legally defensible from a right of way acquisition standpoint as it primarily serves and benefits only one property - Parcel 14. The perceived access impairment on Parcel 14 by limiting access to right-in/right-out is not compensable under Georgia law so there is no damage to "cure". In addition, the law does not allow government to condemn one property to "cure" an impact on another property. In this


instance, the County would potentially have to condemn three properties, two of which could include severance damages, in order to provide median break access to Parcel 14. Specific comments on the SE quadrant and service road include: Add a barricade or cul-de-sac at the southern terminus of Access Road A.Access Rd A and Access Rd B as shown at the PIOH and PHOH will remain on the plans until otherwise instructed by GDOT or Camden County to remove or revise. Will add a GaStd 9039 Permanent Timber Type Barricade at the end of Access Rd A Sta 3+30 .

It appears the western terminus of Access Road B should be reconfigured to include a cul-de-sac entirely within right of way, with a driveway off of the cul-de-sac to tie to Parcels 14's parking lot. Driveway easements are temporary (the property owner could tear it all out once the project is completed and the easement expires), not compensable and normally not condemned. Also, the proposed 4 ft flat bottom ditch and associated drainage structures within the driveway easement would not be maintainable.Will add a cul-de-sac on Access Rd B entirely on Reqd R/W within Parcel 14. The remaining Access RD B as shown will remain as the driveway off the cul-de-sac. Will revise required r/w width to include roadway longitudinal ditches and drainage structures.

19-XXX CONSTRUCTION STAGING & STAGING CROSS-SECTION PLAN SHEETS

The District 5 Construction Office requests full cross sections at each stage of construction.Staging cross sections as well as plan sheets are currently included to verify traffic control and interim grading/drainage between areas under construction and existing pavement. Plan sheets are included to verify traffic control on newly constructed pavement and to show remaining roadway template under construction. Adding cross sections for these latter stages which only complete the proposed roadway template would result in the addition of approximately 100 sheets to the plan set.

22-XXX DRAINAGE PROFILES

Determine how many of the median drains can be removed by eliminating the crown break-over in the turn lane and continue the 2% grade toward the outside.The profile grade is shown on the construction centerline of the urban section. At locations with normal crown the 2’ gutter and 2’ additional pavement width for the turn lane left of the PGL slopes down towards the proposed median. The elevation difference between the proposed median and outside edge of pavement can accommodate a pipe from the median drainage structure. Sloping said gutter and pavement away from the


median would result in exceeding the max 8’ gutter spread therefore requiring additional catch basins along the outside edge of pavement. The proposed pavement cross slope would require warping to match the normal crown through the width of the median opening.

23-XXX CROSS SECTIONS

The Project Manager should furnish electronic earthwork files to the District Construction Office. This should be done as soon as accurate information can be provided, but no later than one month prior to the FFPR request. This will allow enough time for the District Earthwork Coordinators to verify the earthwork.

Will furnish electronic earthwork files no later than one month before FFPR request

Numerous cross sections do not match mainline plans. (i.e. STA 36+00 to 40+00 is a turn lane with a narrow median but is not shown in earthwork cross sections.) Please verify all cross sections match mainline plans and typical sections.Will check typical sections, construction plans and cross section templates for continuity

Determine if the type of median changed, STA 105+00 to 121+00. This appears to be doweled median.Proposed integral versus curb and gutter medians are shown in areas where median pavement is used for traffic control during construction staging. Will show and/or label median types on typical sections, construction plans and cross section.
