Chief Engineer City of Co pus Christi Post Office Box 1622 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Reference: Soil Investigation and Pavement Design, Gollihar Road Dear Mr. Smith: In reference to your letter of September 30, we would propose to investigate Gollihar Road from Dody to Ayres to provide soil information for the design of pavements in connection with the proposed improvements. Our services would include the undisturbed sampling at forty core boring locations, large quantity sampling of the typical subgrade materials, the determination of in- place moisture and density conditions at each of the boring locations, the per- formance of soil classification tests, the triaxial strength testing of the rep- resentative subgrade materials, triaxial strength testing of a typical flexible base material tho investiaatinn of lima stahilivAfinn of cnhararin and 0— preparation of an engineering report which would include the results of the field exploration, the laboratory test results, and recommendations of pave- ment types and thicknesses for the anticipated traffic volume and desired num- ber of years of life. It is anticipated that three distinct subgrade soil types will be encountered within the limits of Gollihar Road to be investigated and that one representative tiexibie base material will be aaequate to provide design infor- mation of available base material sources. Pavement thickness designs for both rigid and flexible pavement can be provided in the recommendations, if desired. It is estimated that our 'services can be accomplished for a fee of approximately $4, 000. 00. ; The responsibilities of the City of Corpus Christi will be to provide traffic vol- ume and type of vehicular use data and assist in projecting these volume counts to the desired years of pavement life. We can furnish the proper 'forms for ob- taining the traffic data, if you so desire.
