PROPOSED CONCRETE SIDEWALK
PARK DRIVE, ADJACENT TO 4269 HILLSIDE DRIVE
CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA
I. INTRODUCTION
The proposed new sidewalk alignment investigated includes graded surfaces along the
westerly side of Park Drive, south of Hillside Drive. The site location is indicated on a
Vicinity Map enclosed with this report as Plate 1. We understand that a new sidewalk is
planned from Hillside Drive extending approximately 180 feet southward. Consequently,
the purpose of this study was to provide bearing soil preparation for the proposed sidewalk
that is consistent with the site geotechnical conditions. Test pit excavations dug along the
alignment with soil sampling and selected laboratory testing was also conducted in order
to supplement this effort.
II. SITE CONDITIONS/PROPOSED GRADING
Site existing conditions, and the planned new sidewalk, are shown on a Tentative Parcel
Map (provided by bHA, Inc.) attached as Plate 2.The planned sidewalk alignment is
planned along graded surfaces that were likely created in association with the construction
of Park Drive. A short fill slope marks the westerly margin of the graded surfaces. The fill
slope was constructed at gradients that approach 2:1 maximum and ranges to
approximately 8 feet high. Documentation pertaining to the creation of the grades surfaces
is not available. Surface areas are generally mantled by grass and ice-plant, with a large
Torrey Pine tree to be protected. Site drainage generally flows over the graded surfaces
to the natural terrain to the west. Excessive run-off erosion is not in evidence.
As shown on Plate 2, the new sidewalk is planned for construction at, or very near to
existing grades. The sidewalk will be 5 feet wide and approximately 180 feet long. Some
minor grade alterations and fine grading are expected in order to create the sidewalk
subgrade surfaces. Portions of the existing embankment may also need to be widened, or
extended to provide an adequate width to support the new sidewalk.
111. INVESTIGATION
Geotechnical and subsurface conditions along the planned sidewalk alignment were chiefly
determined from 3 exploratory test pits provided by the client. All of the test pits were
logged by our filed personnel who also retained soil samples for laboratory testing. Test
pit locations are depicted on Plate 2.Logs of the test pits are enclosed as Plates 3-5.
Laboratory test results are summarized in a following section herein.
IV. FINDINGS
The planned sidewalk will be constructed on existing grades surfaces underlain by artificial
fills to the depths explored. Instability which could preclude the new sidewalk is not in
evidence. The following conditions are apparent:

A. Earth Materials
The planned sidewalk alignment is underlain by fill soils that are thought to have been
placed at the time of the construction of Park Drive. Site existing fills consist largely
of sandy soils that locally include some clay-bearing sands. The fills were found in dry
to moist and loose to medium dense conditions overall. Potentially clayey soils are
generally at depth, and not expected to impact the overall performance of the finished
sidewalk.
The existing fills are not suitable for sidewalk support in their present condition and
should be reworked as recommended in a following section. Additional details of
project earth materials are given on the enclosed test pit logs, Plates 3-5.
B. Laboratory Testing/ Results
Earth deposits encountered in our exploratory test excavations were closely examined
and sampled for laboratory testing. Based upon our test pits and field exposures, site
soils have been grouped into the following soil types:
TABLE 1
Soil Tvne Description
1 Brown/off-white/light grey silty sand: Fill (af)
2 Brown sand with clay: Fill (af)
The following tests were conducted in support of this investigation:
1. Maximum Dry Density and Optimum Moisture Content: The maximum dry density
and optimum moisture content of Soil Types 1 and 2 were determined in accordance
with ASTM D-1557. The results are presented in Table 2.

V. CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the foregoing investigation, construction of the planned sidewalk, as proposed,
is feasible from a geotechnical engineering viewpoint. Subsurface profile underlying the
planned sidewalk consists of sections of loose to firm fill soils. The following geotechnical
factors will most impact the construction of planned roadway improvements and associated
construction costs:
• Surficial soils occurring along the proposed sidewalk alignment were found in loose
to firm conditions overall. Site surficial soils should be regraded as a part of
preparation of the sidewalk bearing soils, as recommended herein.
New fills may be required along portions of the alignment to accommodate the
sidewalk construction.
• Based on our observations and subsurface exploratory excavations, bearing soil
conditioning for the sidewalk may be achieved utilizing small to medium excavation
equipment (skip loader, backhoe, vibratory compactor).
• Soils generated from the excavation of the upper fill section will consist of generally
sandy materials suitable for reuse in the new fills. Clayey soils, if encountered,
should be thoroughly mixed with onsite granular soils to create a very low
expansive mixture.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
MAY 6, 2020
PAGE 4
The following recommendations are consistent with the indicated geotechnical conditions
along the project sidewalk alignment and should be considered and implemented during
the construction phase. Added or modified recommendations may also be appropriate as
directed by the project geotechnical consultant in the field at the time of the soil bearing
preparation and construction, and should be anticipated:
A. Soil Bearing Preparation and Earthwork
Cut-fill and remedial grading techniques may be used in order to achieve sidewalk
subgrade and improve soils conditions beneath the planned sidewalk improvements.
All excavations, grading, earthwork, and ground preparation should be completed in
accordance with Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Appendix "J" (Grading) of the
2019 California Building Code (CBC), the Standard Specifications for Public Works
Construction, City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinances, the requirements of the governing
agencies and following sections, wherever appropriate and as applicable.
1. Clearing and Grubbing: Surface vegetation and deleterious material should be
removed from the sidewalk improvement areas, plus a minimum of 3 feet outside
the perimeter where possible, and as directed in the field.
Existing underground utilities, pipes and buried structures I improvements in the
roadway construction areas should be pot-holed, identified and marked prior to the
actual work. Abandoned underground structures should also be removed and the
generated voids properly backfilled with compacted soils in accordance with the
recommendations provided herein.
Ground preparation should be inspected and approved by the project geotechnical
engineer or his designated field representative prior to actual grading operations.
2. Removals and Remedial Grading: The most effective soil improvement method
to mitigate upper loose and dry compressible soils will utilize removal and
recompaction remedial grading techniques. Site surficial soils in areas of the
planned sidewalk, plus 3 feet outside the perimeter (where possible and as
approved in the field) should be removed 3 feet below sidewalk subgrade
elevations and placed back as properly compacted fills.
New fill embankments, if required, should be provided with a lower keyway
established at the toe of the new fill embankment. The keyway should be a
minimum of 3 feet deep, maintain a minimum width of 8 feet and heeled back a
minimum of 1-foot into the existing embankment.

Bottom of subgrade over-excavations and keyway embankments may expose very
loose soils which may not be suitable to receive new fills. Subgrade and
embankment fills can only be placed on stable and non-yielding ground
compacted to 90% minimum. In the areas of unsuitable bottom of subgrade over-
excavations or keyway embankments (where 90% compaction is not obtainable or
yielding conditions persist, and as determined by the project geotechnical
engineer) provide a layer of Tensar BX-1100 (or greater from the same series) at
the prepared bottom as directed in the field. Additional layers of Tensar BX-1100
may also be necessary within the compacted fill mass to construct a stable and
non-yielding conditions as directed in the field and should be anticipated.
3. Trenching and Temporary Construction Slopes: Excavations and removals
adjacent to the existing underground pipes, utilities and improvements should be
performed under inspection of the project geotechnical engineer. Undermining
existing improvements and structures by excavations and the removal operations
shall not be allowed. Temporary construction slopes should be adequately set
back from the existing pipes, structures and improvements as directed in the field.
Temporary trench excavations/embankments 3 feet high or less may be
constructed at near vertical gradients unless otherwise directed in the field.
Temporary slopes more than 3 feet are not expected.
All temporary construction slopes require continuous geotechnical inspection
during the grading operations. Additional recommendations including revised slope
gradients, setbacks and the need for temporary shoring support should be given
at that time as necessary. The project contractor shall also obtain appropriate
permits, as needed, and conform to the Cal-OSHA and local governing agencies'
requirements for trenching/open excavations and safety of the workmen during
construction.
4. Fill Materials and Compaction: Soils generated from the excavations of the site
fills are expected to consist largely of sandy soils suitable for reuse in new site fills.
Site fills should be clean deposits free of roots, stumps, vegetation, deleterious
matter, trash, debris and unsuitable materials as approved in the field by the
project geotechnical consultant. Fill soils should be adequately processed, properly
mixed, moisture conditioned to approximately 2%-3% above optimum levels as
directed in the field, manufactured into a uniform mixture, placed in thin (6 inches
maximum) lifts and mechanically compacted to a minimum of 90% in accordance
with ASTM D-1557.

VII. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
MAY 6, 2020
PAGE 6
1. All bearing soil preparation and remedial grading including over-excavations,
suitability of earth deposits used as compacted fills and backfills, and compaction
procedures should be continuously inspected and tested by the project
geotechnical consultant and presented in field daily reports and final as-graded
compaction report.
2. Adequate staking and grading control are critical factors in properly completing the
recommended remedial grading operations. Grading control and staking should
be provided by the project grading contractor or surveyor/civil engineer, and is
beyond the geotechnical engineering services. Inadequate staking and/or lack of
grading control may result in unnecessary additional grading which will increase
construction costs.
3. A preconstruction meeting between representatives of this office, the property
owner or planner, and the grading contractor/paver is recommended in order to
discuss grading/paving details associated with the site development.
VIII. LIMITATIONS
The conclusions and recommendations provided herein have been based on all available
data obtained from our field investigation and laboratory analysis, as well as our
experience with the soils and formational materials located in the general area. The
materials encountered on the project site and utilized in our laboratory testing are believed
representative of the total area; however, earth materials may vary in characteristics
between excavations.
Of necessity we must assume a certain degree of continuity between exploratory
excavations and or natural exposures. It is necessary, therefore, that all observations,
conclusions, and recommendations are verified during the grading operation. In the event
discrepancies are noted, we should be contacted immediately so that an inspection can
be made and additional recommendations issued if required.
The recommendations made in this report are applicable to the site at the time this report
was prepared. It is the responsibility of the owner I developer to ensure that these
recommendations are carried out in the field.

It is almost impossible to predict with certainty the future performance of a property. The
future behavior of the site is also dependent on numerous unpredictable variables, such
as earthquakes, rainfall, and on-site drainage patterns.
The firm of VINJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC., shall not be held responsible for
changes to the physical conditions of the property such as addition of fill soils or changing
drainage patterns which occur subsequent to issuance of this report.
This report should be considered valid for a period of one year and is subject to review by
our firm following that time. If significant modifications are made to your tentative
development plan, especially with respect to the height and location of cut and fill slopes,
this report must be presented to us for review and possible revision.
Vinje & Middleton Engineering, Inc., warrants that this report has been prepared within the
limits prescribed by our client with the usual thoroughness and competence of the
engineering profession. No other warranty or representation, either expressed or implied,
is included or intended.
