Design Requirements
 
GENERAL ROADWAY DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
  1. Road and Street Types:  Functional classification used to determine roadway geometrics and cross sections including design speed, entering and stopping sight distance, horizontal and vertical curvature, roadway width and grades, etc. shall be established in conjunction with JBLM Public Works. Additional design information may be obtained from UFC 3-201-01 - Civil Engineering, SDDCTEA Pamphlet 55-17 - Better Military Traffic Engineering and A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets as noted above.
  2. Design Controls: 
    1. Traffic studies to evaluate composition and volume for projects to be constructed on the JBLM Military Installation, shall be in accordance with Traffic Engineering Studies Reference 2016, SDDCTEA Pamphlet 55-8. The extent of analysis shall be determined in conjunction with JBLM Public Works. 
    2. The appropriate level-of-service (LOS) shall be determined in conjunction with JBLM Public Works.
    3. Street grade shall conform closely to the natural contour of the land. In some cases a different grade may be required by Public Works. The maximum and minimum allowable grades depend on the functional classification as noted in UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering.
  3. Cross Section Elements: 
    1. Cross section elements such as roadway cross slope, lane width and location of parking lanes will be determined in conjunction with the Standard Details, and JBLM Public Works. 
    2. In built-up areas, curbs, combination curbs and gutters, and paved gutters with underground storm drainage systems will be provided along streets and in open storage areas when required to aid in the collection and disposal of surface runoff including snowmelt, to control erosion, to confine traffic, or as required in the extension of existing similar facilities. In open areas, combination curbs and gutters will not be provided along roads except where necessary on steep grades to control drainage and prevent erosion of shoulders and fill slopes. 
    3. Location and extents of shoulders and medians shall be determined in conjunction with JBLM Public Works.
  4. Design Elements:  Sight distance, stopping sight distance, passing sight distance, maximum horizontal curvature, and superelevation and intersection design criteria shall be per AASHTO Green Book, SDDCTEA Manual 55-17 - Better Military Traffic Engineering, and WSDOT Design manual.
  5. Pavement Design:  Design of asphalt concrete and cement concrete pavements shall be based on evaluation of existing conditions, anticipated loadings over the service life, and other relevant requirements. Design methodology shall be based on UFC 3-250-01 - Pavement Design for Roads and Parking Areas and UFC 3-260-02 Pavement Design for Airfields and using PCASE software or other methods as approved by Public Works.
  6. Walks:  At certain isolated locations in open areas, the need for walks may be as great as in built-up areas, especially in the vicinity of shopping centers, schools, industrial plants, and at other similar locations. Minimum walk requirements should be determined on the basis of need, irrespective of type of area, as part of the master plan development. Design criteria for walkways shall be per UFC 3-201-01 Civil Engineering.
  7. Traffic Control:  All traffic control devices shall conform to the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (M.U.T.C.D.) as published by USDOT.
  8. Illumination:  Illumination and signals where required or requested by Public Works shall be designed according to the relevant Technical Manuals.
  9. Survey Monuments:  All existing survey monuments which are disturbed, lost or destroyed during surveying or construction shall be replaced with the proper monument by a land surveyor registered in the State of Washington. The monument types shall be as follows:
    1. Roadway Survey Monument with Case and Cover
      A survey monument with cast iron monument case and cover installed per JBLM Public Works Standards is required within the street pavement section (See Detail R-25). The monument case shall be installed after the final course of surfacing has been placed.
    2. Off-Road Survey Monument
      A cast-in-place concrete surface monument, with sufficient ferrous metal embedded to allow for detection by a magnetic detection device, installed per JBLM standards is required in off-road locations.(See Detail R-27
    3. Appropriate survey monuments shall be placed as follows:
      • At all street intersections;
      • At the PI of all horizontal curves;
      • At all section corners, quarter corners, and sixteenth corners that fall within the roadway section.
  10. Utility Trenching Across Existing Roadways and Parking Lots:
    1. The desired method of underground utility crossings of existing roadways or parking lots on JBLM is to jack or bore conduit under the roadway.  As of June 01, 2004, there is a moratorium on cutting any road or parking lot for any reason without prior written approval of the Director of Public Works.
    2. A request to trench across any paved roadway or parking lot must be submitted to the DPW for signature.  A sketch and supporting written justification for the need to trench must accompany the request.  A dig permit for open trenching across a paved roadway will not be issued without signed permission.
    3. If approved road cuts shall be a minimum of 8 feet wide and with at least a minimum of 2 feet of new pavement on each side of the trench wall.
  11. Sides of curb ramps: JBLM standard curb ramps use “returned sides” unless foot traffic across the ramp is expected. If the sidewalk is away from the road, then curb ramps should have returned sides (vertical sides). This style of curb ramp reduces abuse of pedestrian ramps by vehicles.
  12. Swales Adjacent sidewalks: In areas with significant on-street parking turnover, consider paving a 12- to 24-inch concrete strip at the back of the curb. In this instance, tailor the side slope to 3H:1V for the reduced level area in the step-out zone for pedestrian comfort. Level areas at the edge of the bioretention swale should be compacted to support people walking on the surface as well as vehicles and people using bikes, strollers, or wheelchairs who may encroach on the swale from the adjacent roadway or sidewalk. Consider using undisturbed, firm, native soil for the edge zone. If placing soil in this zone, consider compaction to 95% density in the edge zone.
Notes to Designers on Drawing Content
  1. Detailed plans shall be submitted for JBLM Public Works' review which provide the location and type of the proposed roadway system improvements. These plans will be separate from the water and sewer plans.
  2. All survey control shall be based on the nearest Corps of Engineer's benchmarks. Project plans shall have a horizontal scale of not more than 20 feet to the inch and a vertical scale of 2 feet or 5 feet to the inch depending on topography. Plans shall show:
    • Location of streets and existing utilities
    • All known existing structures, both above and below ground, which might interfere with the proposed construction, particularly sewer lines, gas mains, storm drains, overhead and underground power lines, and telephone lines and television cables.
  3. Where minimum values are stated, greater values should be used whenever practical; where maximum values are stated, lesser values should be used where practical. Alternate design standards will be accepted when it can be shown, to the satisfaction of Public Works, that such alternate standards will provide a design equal to or superior to that specified. In evaluating the alternate design, Public Works shall consider appearance, durability, ease of maintenance, public safety and other appropriate factors.
