Supplement for Earthwork Quantities through Geopak

Proposed Project:

Roadway: FM 1607
County: Scurry
Range: Station 125+00 to 172+00
Proposed: Cut Section Station 140+00 to Station 151+50
Fill Section Station 151+50 to Station 172+00
Tie into existing grade @ Station 125+00 and Station 172+00

Geopak Data:
Chain: G
Profile: PROP2
DTM: 1607.TIN
General Project Information:
No superelevated surface.
Pavement Slope Constant ¼” per 1’ (2.08%)
22’ of pavement, 2~11’ lanes undivided
4” HMACP
6” New Flex Base
Rework Subgrade 6”

Governing Specifications:
Item 110 ~ Excavation
Payment by the Cubic Yard (CY)
Quantity of excavation is measured to the top of finished subgrade
Undercut (6” depth) is considered incidental to Item 110
Item 132 ~ Embankment
Payment by the Cubic Yard (CY)
Payment is for compacted volume
Item 247 ~ Flexible Base Material
Payment by the Cubic Yard (CY)
Payment is for compacted volume

Earthwork Steps

After initial geometrics and project setup,

1) Define Project
a) Extent of Work
b) Method of Payment
2) Existing Ground Sections
3) Proposed Ground Sections
4) Define earthwork limits in earthwork.inp
5) Run earthwork.inp and generate earthwork.log
