abandoned, and they are asbestos cement and HDPE. The Active water line has been recently installed
and it is constructed of ductile iron. There is an existing RAW water line that is still active, and it is built
out of clay pipe.
Main Gas lines are expected to be found between 30"to 42" below top of pavement. Service lines depth
are unknown.
The plans show approximate locations of the utilities based on plat maps provided by utilities company.
County cannot guarantee their final location and depth. County cannot guarantee that there are other
utilities not shown in the plans. Contractor is responsible for contacting underground service alert(USA)
811, coordinating with utilities companies and potholing all utilities before processing with work.
The County has some records of potholes to the existing utilities performed in the past for the

County staff has coordinated with PG&E. The following are the requirements/statement from PG&E staff:
Distribution pressure gas line email coordination from PG&E:
When excavating near PG&E facilities, per TD-4412P-05, one of the requirements listed helps follow a
safe an approved method for excavating in and around PG&E's 24"tolerance zone. The tolerance zone is
where no mechanical digging can be performed. Once the utility is found, through daylighting, the
contractor is then permitted to use power equipment within the tolerance zone, thus a reduced tolerance
zone. Once daylighted at two locations (and working between the two points), only then can the reduced
tolerance zone be decreased to 12"from the gas distribution pipe. Any digging beyond the reduced
tolerance zone must be done by hand. As far as additional measures of protecting in place, PG&E
requires NO scarification within 12"from any gas distribution facility, and no heavy vibratory mechanical
compaction within 18"from gas distribution facilities. Only hand compaction equipment is permitted within
18"from gas facilities. A smooth drum roller can be the exception provided the weight of each drum does
not exceed the allowable wheel load at the given depth (below). If gas main or gas service is exposed,
12"of fine sand must be placed around the facility before any final backfill is placed. PG&E does not allow
any cement slurry backfill to be placed on top of(or in contact with) P.E. gas pipe, as it deteriorates the
integrity of the pipe over time. Prior to final backfill over gas main, place a 6"wide yellow warning tape
over sand backfill.
Maximum allowable wheel load(half-axle)over the existing 2"steel distribution main:
12"of cover= 32,000 lb (half-axle)
18"of cover= 52,000 lb (half-axle)
24"of cover= 78,000 lb (half-axle)

request in writing, either on his or her own behalf or on behalf of a lower tier subcontractor, that
the contractor present a claim for work which was performed by the subcontractor or by a lower

presented to the public entity shall furnish reasonable documentation to support the claim. Within

proceed directly to the commencement of a civil action or binding arbitration, as applicable; and (2) a
public entity may prescribe reasonable change order, claim, and dispute resolution procedures and

2.2.4 The data obtained from the investigation were evaluated with regard to the
various pavement reconstruction options.
2.2.5 This report was prepared to describe the background information, the
investigation procedures, our findings, evaluation, conclusions and
recommendations.
3.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The site description and anticipated construction are summarized in the following subsections.
3.1 Site Description: The subject project includes West El Progresso Avenue, West
Hidalgo Avenue, and Juarez Avenue within the community of El Porvenir in the Three Rocks area
of the County of Fresno,California. A site location map is provided as Drawing No. 1 in Appendix
A.
The subject road segments are residential streets,about 32 feet wide,with a concrete curb and gutter
on both sides of the roads. The subj ect streets are bordered by residential development with concrete
driveway approaches. Numerous underground utility services are located within the roadways.
In general,the existing asphalt concrete wear surfaces were observed to be in a poor condition and
exhibited distress including longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, alligator cracking, and
weathering. Depressions where surface runoff ponds were noted throughout the roadways,creating
a subtle wavy road surface profile. In addition, differential movement was noted in the curb/gutter
in some locations. In addition,patches from utility installation and/or repair were noted within most
of the roadways. Photographs of some of the observed conditions are included in Appendix E of this
report.
3.2 Anticipated Construction:It is our understanding areas the subject roadways do not
drain effectively,which has been suspected to be due to differential subsidence. In order to correct
the surface drainage and flooding type issues, it is our understanding West El Progresso Avenue,
West Hidalgo Avenue, and Juarez Avenue are planned to be reconstructed to new elevations. It is
our understanding some areas may be lowered in elevation by—I foot in some areas. As part of the
project, most of the concrete curb and gutter will be reconstructed and the existing driveway
approaches will need to be modified. Based on information provided by Fresno County, it is
understood that a structural pavement section for a traffic index range of 5 to 7 is desired for the road
segments.

4.0 INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES
The field exploration and laboratory testing programs conducted for this investigation are
summarized in the following subsections.
4.1 Field Exploration: The field exploration consisted of a visual site reconnaissance
of the existing roadway surfaces, coring the pavements to measure the existing pavement section
thicknesses,drilling borings to collect samples of the underlying aggregate base and subgrade soils,
and dynamic cone penetration testing.
4.1.1 Site Reconnaissance: The site reconnaissance consisted of walking and
driving the roadway segments to identify the general surface condition of the existing pavements.
The reconnaissance was conducted by a Moore Twining project engineer on June 20, 2024. The
general features noted are described in the`Background Information,"and Section 5.1 of this report.
Photographs of the existing pavement surface conditions are included in Appendix E of this report.
4.1.2 Pavement Coring and Borings: Prior to the pavement investigation work,
an encroachment permit was obtained from the County of Fresno. On June 20,2024,borings were
cored and drilled at four (4) locations (labeled C-1 through C-4) within the existing roadways to
depths of about 5 feet below the existing pavement surface. The core locations were coordinated
with Fresno County. The approximate boring locations are depicted on Drawing No.2 in Appendix
A. The logs of borings are included in Appendix B. In addition,photographs of the cores obtained
during the investigation are included in Appendix E.
The pavement coring was conducted using a hand operated coring machine equipped with a 4 inch
diameter coring barrel. The borings were then drilled using a CME 75 drill rig equipped with 6-5/8
inch hollow stem augers. The soils encountered in the test borings were logged during drilling by
a staff engineer. The field soil classification was in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification
System and consisted of particle size, color, and other distinguishing features of the soil.
In addition to the soil sampling, dynamic cone penetration(DCP)tests were conducted at three (3)
of the boring locations in accordance with ASTM D6951 to assess the general penetration
resistance/stiffness of the subgrade soils. The dynamic cone penetration test consists of advancing
a 5/8 inch diameter stainless steel rod with a cone tip into the ground using a 17.6 pound slide
hammer free falling 22.6 inches for each drop. The number of blows and depth of tip penetration
are recorded. The field data included recording the tip penetration for every 5 blows of the hammer.
The results of the DCP tests are included in Appendix D.
The core/boring locations were estimated by pacing with reference to existing roadway features.
Elevations of the test borings were not surveyed as a part of the investigation.
The cores/borings were backfilled with granular soils and patched with asphalt cold patch to a
thickness at least equal to the existing asphalt concrete thickness.

Community of El Porvenir April 24,2025
County of Fresno, California Page No. 4
4.1.3 Soil Sampling: During drilling of the test borings, bulk samples of the
aggregate base and subgrade soil were obtained and were taken to Moore Twining's laboratory for
laboratory testing.
4.2 Laboratory Testing: The laboratory testing was programmed to determine selected
physical and engineering properties of various samples of aggregate base and subgrade soils,
including sieve analysis, liquid and plastic limits, moisture content, sulfate content, and R-value
testing.
The results of laboratory tests are included in Appendix C. These data, along with the field
observations, were used to prepare the final test boring logs in Appendix B.
5.0 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
The findings and results of the field exploration and laboratory testing are summarized in the
following subsections.
5.1 Pavement Surface Conditions: The condition of the existing pavement surfaces
were observed as part of this investigation. The majority of the pavement surface exhibited distress
in the form of alligator cracking,block cracking,areas of patches,weathering,longitudinal cracking
and transverse cracking. Depressions and a wavy profile(low and high areas)were noted within the
roadways and differential movement was noted in the curb and gutter at some locations.
Photographs of the observed conditions are included in Appendix E of this report.
5.2 Existing Pavement Thicknesses, Subgrade Soils and R-Value Results: The
existing pavement sections encountered at the core locations ranged from 3 inches to 5 inches of
asphalt concrete,over 4 1/2 to 91/2 inches of aggregate base,which was classified as a clayey sand with
gravel at core locations C-1 and C-4 and a silty gravel and silty sand with gravel at the other two
locations. The subgrade soils encountered below the pavement section generally consisted of sandy
lean clay,lean clay and clayey sand. This finding is consistent with information reviewed from the
Web Soil Survey (U.S. Department of Agriculture), which maps Cerini sandy loam within the
project areas.
The results of testing one bulk sample of the sandy lean clay subgrade indicated a maximum dry
density of 127.7 pounds per cubic foot at an optimum moisture content of 9.4 percent. The moisture
contents of the subgrade soil samples tested ranged from 3.8 to 10.1 percent. The results of the
moisture content tests and the dynamic cone penetration tests did not identify overly soft or overly
moist subgrade conditions.
A sieve analysis and Atterberg limits tests conducted on a sample of the base material collected from
below the asphalt concrete at core location C-1 indicated a fines content of 23.8 percent(passing the
No. 200 sieve) and a plasticity index of 12, indicating the presence of plastic fines.
The thicknesses of the existing asphalt concrete pavement sections and a description of the subgrade
soils encountered at the core/test boring locations are summarized below in Table No. 1. In addition,
photographs of selected cores obtained during the investigation are included in Appendix E.

6.0 ASPHALT CONCRETE PAVEMENT EVALUATION
The evaluations associated with the proposed pavement reconstruction are included below.
6.1 Asphalt Concrete Pavement Surface Conditions and Subgrade Soils: Based on
our visual observations,the existing asphalt concrete pavements were generally in a poor condition
based on the extent and severity of distress. It is our understanding the project will include
reconstruction of the pavements due in part to the grade changes that are required to establish
drainage. Based on the information requested by Fresno County, it is understood a traffic index
range from 5 to 7 is required for design. The typical target design life is 20 years for new pavements.
The subgrade soils encountered below the existing pavement section at the core locations generally
consisted of sandy lean clays,lean clay and clayey sands. Based on the results of the R-value testing
conducted on the subgrade samples, a design R-value of 15 was selected.
6.2 Asphalt Concrete Pavement Section Design:Evaluation of the pavement structure
for a replacement pavement section depends on factors such as the anticipated traffic loading, and
the subgrade soil properties.
Pavement thickness design analysis was conducted using the gravel equivalent method in accordance
with the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual. The analysis was based
on a traffic index values ranging from 5 to 7. Pavement section thickness recommendations for a
traditional two-layer pavement based on a R-value of 15 are included in Section 8.2 of this report.
Based on the Guidelines for the Stabilization of Subgrade Soil in California, prepared by the
University of California Pavement Research Center, the concentration of sulfates detected in the
subgrade samples tested is associated with a "moderate" risk for sulfate induced heave when
additives such as lime or cement are used. Thus,due to the high concentrations of sulfates indicated
in two(2)out of the three(3)subgrade samples tested(4,900 and 4,700 parts per million),chemical
stabilization approaches such as use of lime or cement are not recommended for the project.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS
Based on the data collected during the field exploration and laboratory testing program, our
experience in the vicinity of the project site, and our understanding of the project, the following
general conclusions are presented.
7.1 The existing pavement sections encountered at the core locations ranged from 3
inches to 5 inches of asphalt concrete,over 4%2 to 9%2 inches of aggregate base,which
was classified as a clayey sand with gravel at core location C-1 and C-4 and a silty
gravel and silty sand with gravel at the other two core locations. The pavement
sections encountered are summarized in Table No. 1 of this report and are shown
graphically on the boring logs in Appendix B.
7.2 The subgrade soils encountered below the existing pavement section at the core
locations generally consisted of sandy lean clays, lean clay and clayey sand. Based
on the results of the testing conducted as part of this report, a design R-value of 15
was selected for the subgrade soil conditions encountered.
7.3 Laboratory testing conducted on three(3)subgrade soil samples indicated from 1,900
to 4,900 parts per million(by weight)concentrations of sulfate. Based on the results
of the testing,as noted in Section 6.2 of this report,chemical stabilization approaches
such as use of lime or cement are not recommended for the project. Thus,this report
provides recommendations for construction of new pavement structural sections
based on the requested range of traffic indexes.
8.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the evaluation of the field and laboratory data and our experience with similar projects,the
following recommendations are presented for use in the project design and construction. However,
this report should be considered in its entirety. When applying the recommendations for design,the
background information, procedures used, findings, evaluations and conclusions should be
considered. The recommendations of this report should be incorporated into the project plans and
specifications.
It is anticipated that a set of plans and specifications will be developed by others to detail the
construction requirements for the pavement reconstruction.
Where the requirements of a governing agency,product manufacturer or utility agency differ from
the recommendations of this report, the more stringent recommendations should be applied to the
proj ect.

8.1 General
8.1.1 Moore Twining should be retained to review the final pavement improvement
plans so that any relevant recommendations can be presented.
8.1.2 A preconstruction meeting including, as a minimum, the owner, general
contractor,earthwork contractor,paving subcontractor, and Moore Twining
should be scheduled at least one week prior to the start of construction or
demolition. The purpose of the meeting should be to discuss critical project
requirements and scheduling.
8.1.3 If overly moist clayey soils are encountered during construction, it is
anticipated the subgrade will experience instability under construction vehicle
loading and difficulties to achieve compaction will be provided. Thus,
aeration such as by repeated mixing/scarification or placement of a bridge lift
to achieve stabilization should be implemented if overly moist soil conditions
are encountered. In order to reduce the potential for subgrade instability
resulting from construction equipment, it is recommended the pavement
rehabilitation work that requires exposing the subgrade be conducted during
the summer months when temperatures are higher.
8.1.4 The depth of existing utilities should be evaluated to determine potential
impacts and conflicts with the proposed excavation, preparation and new
pavement construction.
8.1.5 If actual pavement subgrade materials are significantly different from those
tested for this study due to unanticipated grading or soil importing, the
pavement sections should be re-evaluated for the changed subgrade
conditions.
8.1.6 Pavement materials and construction methods should conform to the project
specifications, as applicable.
8.1.7 It is recommended the asphalt concrete,including the joint density,should be
compacted to an average relative compaction of 93 percent, with no single
test value being below a relative compaction of 91 percent and no single test
value being above a relative compaction of 97 percent of the referenced
laboratory density determined according to ASTM D2041.

AC - Asphalt Concrete in accordance with the project specifications
AB - Class II Aggregate Base compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction
(ASTM D1557)
Subgrade- Subgrade soils compacted to at least 95 percent relative compaction(ASTM
D1557)
8.2.2 As part of the subgrade preparation, after removal of the existing surface
improvements,the subgrade soils should be scarified to a depth of 6 inches,
uniformly moisture conditioned to within optimum to three(3)percent above
optimum moisture content and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent
relative compaction (based on the maximum dry density determined in
accordance with ASTM D 1557) and to achieve a stable subgrade condition
prior to placement of aggregate base. The subgrade stability should be
evaluated by proof rolling in accordance with Section 8.2.3 of this report.
8.2.3 Prior to placement of the aggregate base,the prepared native subgrade should
be proof-rolled using a loaded water truck under the observations of Moore
Twining to confirm a firm, non-yielding condition. Soft, unstable areas
should be repaired to achieve a surface compact, stable subgrade condition
prior to placement of the aggregate base.

8.3 Pavement Maintenance
The pavement recommendations assume that proper maintenance will be performed on an as needed
basis for longevity and safety. When properly performed,regular maintenance of asphalt concrete
pavements can maintain the integrity of the pavements and maximize the serviceable life of the
pavement. The following general guidelines have been prepared for future maintenance of the
asphalt concrete pavements at this site.
8.3.1 The surface of the pavement should be monitored on a regular basis to review
visual distress,adjacent irrigation,surface drainage and performance of prior
maintenance activities. At a minimum,regular observations and assessment
of the overall pavements should be conducted about every 3 years until
distress features begin manifesting, at which point the frequency of
observations should be increased.
8.3.2 Crack sealing should be conducted on a regular basis to reduce surface water
infiltration below the pavements.
8.3.3 Runoff from adjacent properties should be monitored regularly for ponding
of water and excessive runoff into the shoulders. Areas of ponding water and
drainage issues should be corrected expeditiously.
8.3.4 A sealcoat, and crack sealing/patching as required, should be conducted
generally about every 3 to 5 years, or as determined based on the results of
regular pavement monitoring.
9.0 DESIGN CONSULTATION
9.1 It is recommended the client provide plans and specification documents for our
review prior to their issuance for construction bidding purposes.
10.0 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING
10.1 It is recommended that Moore Twining be retained to observe the excavation,
earthwork, and pavement construction phases of work to determine that the
subsurface conditions are compatible with those used in the analysis and design.
10.2 Moore Twining can conduct the necessary observation and field testing to provide
results so that action necessary to remedy indicated deficiencies can be taken in
accordance with the plans and specifications. Upon completion of the work, a
written summary of our observations,field testing and conclusions will be provided
regarding the conformance of the completed work to the intent of the plans and
specifications. This service is not, however, part of this current contractual
agreement.

Community of El Porvenir April 24, 2025
County of Fresno, California Page No. 11
10.3 In the event that the earthwork operations for this project are conducted such that the
construction sequence is not continuous, (or if construction operations disturb the
surface soils) it is recommended that the exposed subgrade be tested to verify
adequate compaction and/or moisture conditioning. If adequate compaction or
moisture contents are not verified,the fill soils should be over-excavated, scarified,
moisture conditioned and compacted are recommended in the Recommendations of
this report.
10.4 The construction monitoring is an integral part of this investigation. This phase of
the workprovides Moore Twining the opportunityto verifythe subsurface conditions
interpolated from the soil borings and make alternative recommendations if the
conditions differ from those anticipated.
10.5 If Moore Twining is not retained to provide engineering observation and field-testing
services during construction activities related to earthwork, pavements and trenches;
then, Moore Twining will not be responsible for compliance of any aspect of the
construction with our recommendations or performance of the structures or
improvements if the recommendations of this report are not followed. After their
review, the firm should, in writing, state that they understand and agree with the
conclusions and recommendations of this report and agree to conduct sufficient
observations and testing to ensure the construction complies with this report's
recommendations. Moore Twining should be notified, in writing, if another firm is
selected to conduct observations and field-testing services prior to construction.
11.0 NOTIFICATION AND LIMITATIONS
11.1 The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on the
information provided regarding the proposed construction,and the results of the field
and laboratory investigation, combined with interpolation of the subsurface
conditions between boring locations. The nature and extent of subsurface variations
between borings may not become evident until construction.
11.2 If variations or undesirable conditions are encountered during construction, Moore
Twining should be notified promptly so that these conditions can be reviewed and
our recommendations reconsidered where necessary. It should be noted that
unexpected conditions frequently require additional expenditures for proper
construction of the project.

RESULTS OF LABORATORY TESTS
This appendix contains the individual results of the following tests. The results of the moisture
content and dry density tests are included on the test boring logs in Appendix B. These data, along
with the field observations, were used to prepare the final test boring logs in Appendix B.
These Included: To Determine:
Moisture Content Moisture contents representative of field conditions at the time
(ASTM D2216) the sample was taken.
Grain-Size Distribution Size and distribution of soil particles,i.e.,sand,gravel and fines
(ASTM D422) (silt and clay).
Atterberg Limits Determines the moisture content where the soil behaves as a
(ASTM D4318) viscous material(liquid limit)and the moisture content at which
the soil reaches a plastic state
R-Value The capacity of a subgrade or subbase to support a pavement
(ASTM D2844) section designed to carry a specified traffic load.
Sulfate Content Percentage of water-soluble sulfate as SO4 in soil samples.

Evaluation of Bid Item List - Proposal 3
Abbreviations used in the bid proposal sheet are identified in Section 1-1.06, "Abbreviations," of these special provisions.
Bids are required for the entire work. Bids will be compared on the basis indicated in the Notice to Bidders. The bidder shall set
forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in
clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth
under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.
In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as
provided in (a) or (b), as follows:
(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as
the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be
divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;
(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one
hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the
entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the
Owner's Final Estimate of cost.
If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular.
Likewise, if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular
unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.
Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or
item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if
applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures
are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if
any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.
The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission,
inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid. Any situation not specifically provided for will be determined in
the discretion of the Owner, and that discretion will be exercised in the manner deemed by the Owner to best protect the public
interest in the prompt and economical completion of the work. The decision of the Owner respecting the amount of a bid, or the
existence or treatment of an irregularity in a bid, shall be final.
If this proposal shall be accepted and the undersigned shall fail to contract, as aforesaid, and to give the two bonds in the sums to
be determined as aforesaid, with surety satisfactory to the Owner, within eight (8) days not including Saturdays, Sundays and legal
holidays, after the bidder has received notice of award of the contract, the Owner, at its option, may determine that the bidder has
abandoned the contract, and thereupon this proposal and the acceptance thereof shall be null and void, and the forfeiture of such
security accompanying this proposal shall operate and the same shall be the property of the Owner.
