ATTEST: C Secret ry MAYO T M CITY OF CO VUVCFMSTI, TEXAS APP 9ED: DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1974: EXEC. ASSTCity Attorney September 13, 1974 City of Corpus Christi Department of Engineering Services City Hall Corpus Christi, Texas 78401' Attention: Mr. Gerald Smith, P. E. Chief Engineer Gentlemen: In accordance with your recent request, we are pleased to submit the attached proposal for a foundation investigation at the site of the proposed Corpus Christi Municipal Auditorium in Corpus Christi, Texas. Subsurface exploration includes drilling four core boringe, each to a depth of 100.0 feet and seven core borings, each to a depth of 60. 0 feet below the existing ground surface. Undisturbed samples of the cohesive soils will be obtained from the borings by thin -wall, seamless steel, Shelby tube samplers. A 2 -inch O.D. split -spoon sampler will be used in obtaining disturbed samples and in determining standard penetration values of cohesionless granular soils. All samples of the subsurface materials will be extracted and classified in the field. Undisturbed samples will be identified according to boring number and depth, and encased in polyethylene plastic to prevent moisture changes. Dis- turbed samples will be identified according to boring number and depth, and placed in moisture -proof plastic bags. All samples will then be placed in core boxes and transported to the laboratory for tests and further study. The boring holes will be observed to investigate groundwater conditions at the site. All samples of subsurface materials from the borings will be examined and classified in the laboratory. Index properties, grain size characteristics, strength properties, and consolidation characteristics of subsurface materials will be determined by appropriate laboratory tests on selected samples.

The specific information requested by Caudill, Rowlett, Scott's requirements for subsurface investigation and aaalysis will be covered by the investigation. Ten copies of all the infor- mation obtained by the investigation will be furnished you in report form.
