Project Background
Project Background
The City of Round Rock (the "City') proposes roadway rehabilitation/reconstruction of Smyers
Lane from RM 620 to Wyoming Springs Drive(0.6 Miles)and CR 122 from Red Bud Lane to south of
the low water crossing (0.75 Miles) (the "Project") utilizing the services of The Estes Group, LLC.,
(the "Engineer") as the prime consultant. The Engineer will provide Geotechnical investigations
and preparation of plans, specification, and estimates (PS&E). The current understanding of the
project is to hold and maintain the existing edge of payment width of approximately 20-22' (two
10' lanes) for both roadways and safety improvements for the upstream end of one cross culvert
on Smyers Lane.

guidelines.Work includes drilling 5 pavement borings for Smyers and 9 pavement borings for CR 122
spaced approximately 500 ft apart to approximate depths of 15 feet below the existing ground
surface.
Field Sampling and Laboratory Testing:
• Develop soil-boring layout for approval prior to mobilization. Dynamic Cone Penetrometer
(DCP) testing will be conducted in the vicinity of the borings up to 24 inches below existing
ground surface.
• Stake the borings in the field utilizing tape and right-angle measurement from existing
benchmark or using a recreation-grade FPS (does not include surveying of boring locations).
• The existing pavement will be cored and thickness will be determined. The borings will be
drilled to a depth of 15 feet below the existing grade.
• We anticipate up to 1 day of traffic control for drilling on Smyers Land and 2 day for CR 122
• We will perform One Call utility location request, as well as coordinating with the City of
Round Rock and associated utilities who do not subscribe to the Texas 811 service. We will
also call a private Site Utility Locator to confirm the absence of utilities.
• We will perform appropriate laboratory tests on soil samples recovered from the borings.
Laboratory testing will include but not limited to moisture content, liquid limit, plastic limit,
particle size analysis tests,visual classification,dry density,and sulfate concentration.
Geotechnical Engineering Report:
Prepare a Geotechnical Engineering Report for the project reviewed and sealed by a professional
geotechnical engineer licensed in the State of Texas. The following items will be included in the
report:
• A summary of the field and laboratory sampling and testing program
• Boring logs and laboratory testing results

stratigraphy, groundwater conditions, and the presences and condition of fill materials, if
encountered
• Estimated Potential Vertical Rise (PVR) using empirical method developed by the Texas
Department of Transportation
• Flexible pavement Design Recommendations (3 Options) and Construction guidelines, to
include a full depth reconstructed asphalt pavement section, a reclaimed asphalt pavement
section, and a thickened asphalt pavement section. Pavement design will be provided using
TxDOT software FPS 21.
