Roadway Design Clause Samples
The ROADWAY DESIGN clause establishes the standards and requirements for the planning and engineering of roadways within a project. It typically outlines the technical specifications, design criteria, and regulatory guidelines that must be followed by the design team, such as lane widths, materials, drainage, and safety features. By clearly defining these parameters, the clause ensures that the resulting roadway is safe, functional, and compliant with relevant laws, thereby minimizing the risk of design errors and facilitating regulatory approval.

Roadway Design. The Engineer shall provide roadway plan and profile drawings using CADD standards as required by the State. The drawings must consist of a planimetric file of existing features and files of the proposed improvements. The roadway base map must contain line work that depicts existing surface features obtained from the schematic drawing. Existing major subsurface and surface utilities must be shown if requested by the State. Existing and proposed right-of-way lines must be shown. Plan and Profile must be shown on separate or same sheets (this depends upon width of pavement) for main lanes, frontage roads, and direct connectors. The plan view must contain the following design elements:

Plan and Profile must be shown on separate or same sheets (this depends upon width of pavement) for main lanes, frontage roads, and direct connectors. The plan view must contain the following design elements:
1. Calculated roadway centerlines for mainlanes, ramps, cross streets and frontage roads, as applicable. Horizontal control points must be shown. The alignments must be calculated using GEOPAK.
2. Pavement edges for all improvements (mainlanes, direct connectors, ramps, cross streets, driveways and frontage roads, if applicable).

Roadway Design. The Engineer shall prepare roadway plans, profiles and typical sections for the proposed improvements as requested by the State. Prior to the 30% submittal the Engineer shall schedule a workshop to review profiles and cross-sections with the State. The profile and cross sections shall depict the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 500 year (if available) water surface elevations. The drawings must DocuSign Envelope ID: 2136EF24-41E3-476A-9DE8-B6DB65099AD1 provide an overall view of the roadway and existing ground elevations with respect to the various storm design frequencies for the length of the project. This must enable the State to determine the most feasible proposed roadway profile. The State approval of the proposed profiles and cross sections must be procured before the Engineer continues with the subsequent submittals. The roadway plans must be complete and organized in accordance with the latest edition of the State’s PS&E Preparation Manual.
A. DRAINAGE DESIGN
1. DATA COLLECTION The Engineer shall provide the following data collection services:
a. Conduct field inspections to observe current conditions and the outfall channels, the cross drainage structures, drainage easements, the tributary channel, and land development projects that contribute flow to the tributary. Document field inspections with digital photos.
b. Collect available applicable data including GIS data and maps, site survey data, construction plans, previous reports and studies, and readily available rainfall history for the area. Particular sources of data collected must include, but are not limited to, the State, County, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
c. Collect available Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), Flood Insurance Study (FIS) study data, and any effective HECRAS or HEC-2 models.
d. Review survey data and coordinate any additional surveying needs with State.
e. Meet with local government officials to obtain historical flood records. Interview local residents or local government employees to obtain additional high-water information if available. Obtain frequency of road closure and any additional high-water information from the District Maintenance office.
f. Submit a letter report to the State Project Manager detailing completion of data collection.
Roadway Design. The Engineer shall use ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ OpenRoads 3D Design technology in the design and preparation of the roadway plan sheets, using the version of MicroStation OpenRoads Designer and/or MicroStation Connect Edition that are implemented at TxDOT at the time. However, FBCTRA may approve the use of other versions. The Engineer shall provide roadway plan and profile drawings using CADD standards as required by the FBCTRA. The drawings must consist of a planimetric file of existing features and files of the proposed improvements. The roadway base map must contain line work that depicts existing surface features obtained from the schematic drawing. Existing major subsurface and surface utilities must be shown if requested by the FBCTRA. Existing and proposed right-of-way lines must be shown. Depending on the width of the pavement, the plan view and profile view may be shown on separate sheets or the same sheets for main lanes, frontage roads. The plan view must contain the following design elements:
1. Calculated roadway centerlines for mainlanes, ramps, and frontage roads, as applicable. Horizontal control points must be shown. The alignments must be calculated using OpenRoads horizontal geometry tools.
2. Pavement edges for all improvements (mainlanes, ramps, and frontage roads, if applicable).
3. Lane and pavement width dimensions.
4. The geometrics of ramps.
5. Proposed structure locations, lengths, and widths.
6. Direction of traffic flow on all roadways. Lane lines and arrows indicating the number of lanes must also be shown.
7. Drawing horizontal scale must be 1” =100’
8. Control of access line, ROW lines, and easements.
9. Begin and end superelevation transitions and cross slope changes.
