At least twenty days before each progress payment is scheduled (but not more often than once a month). CON- TRACTOR shall submit to ENGINEER for review an Appli- cation for Payment filled out and signed by CONTRACTOR covering the Work completed as of the date of the Application and accompanied by such supporting documentation as is required by the Contract Documents. if payment is requested on the basis of materials and equipment not incorporated in the Work but delivered and suitably stored at the site or at another location agreed to in writing. the Application for Payment shall also be accompanied by a bill of sale. invoice or other documentation warranting that OWNER has received the materials and equipment free and clear of all liens. charges. security interests and encumbrances (which are hereinafter in these General Conditions referred to as "Liens ") and evidence that the materials and equipment are covered by appropriate property insurance and other arrangements to protect OWN ER's interest therein. all of which will be sat- isfactory to OWNER. The amount of retainage with respect to progress payments will be as stipulated in the Agreement. CONTRACTOR's Warranty of Title: 14.3. CONTRACTOR warrants and guarantees that title to all Work. materials and equipment covered by any Appli- cation for Payment. whether incorporated in the Project or not. will pass to OWNER no later than the time of payment free and clear of all Liens. Review of Applications for Progress Payment: 14.4. ENGINEER will, within ten days after receipt of each Application for Payment, either indicate in writing a recommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER. or return the Application to CONTRACTOR indi- cating in writing ENGINEER's reasons for refusing to rec- ommend payment. In the latter case. CONTRACTOR may make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Applica- tion. Ten days after presentation of the Application for Pay- ment with ENGINEER's recommendation, the amount rec- ommended will (subject to the provisions of the last sentence of paragraph 14.7) become due and when due will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.5. ENGINEER's recommendation of any payment requested in an Application for Payment will constitute a 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 I- 1 representation by ENGINEER to OWNER. based on ENGI- NEER's on -site observations of the Work in progress as an experienced and qualified design professional and on ENGI- NEER's review of the Application for Payment and the accompanying data and schedules that the Work has pro- gressed to the point indicated; that, to the best of ENGI- NEER's knowledge, information and belief. the quality of the Work is in accordance with the Contract Documents (subject to an evaluation of the Work as a functioning whole prior to or upon Substantial Completion. to the results of any subsequent tests called for in the Contract Documents, to a final determination of quantities and classifications for Unit Price Work under paragraph 9.10. and to any other qualifi- cations stated in the recommendation): and that CONTRAC- TOR is entitled to payment of the amount recommended. However, by recommending any such payment ENGINEER will not thereby be deemed to have represented that exhaus- tive or continuous on -site inspections have been made to check the quality or the quantity of the Work beyond the responsibilities specifically assigned to ENGINEER in the Contract Documents or that there may not be other matters or issues between the parties that might entitle CONTRAC- TOR to be paid additionally by OWNER or OWNER to withhold payment to CONTRACTOR. 14.6. ENGINEER's recommendation of final payment will constitute an additional representation by ENGINEER to OWNER that the conditions precedent to CONTRAC- TOR's being entitled to final payment as set forth in paragraph 14.13 have been fulfilled. 14.7. ENGINEER may refuse to recommend the whole or any part of any payment if. in ENGINEER's opinion. it would be incorrect to make such representations to OWNER. ENGINEER may also refuse to recommend any such pay- ment, or. because of subsequently discovered evidence or the results of subsequent inspections or tests. nullify any such payment previously recommended, to such extent as may be necessary in ENGINEER's opinion to protect OWNER from loss because: 14.7.1. the Work is defective. or completed Work has been damaged requiring correction or replacement, 14.7.2. the Contract Price has been reduced by Writ- ten Amendment or Change Order. 14.7.3. OWNER has been required to correct defec- tive Work or complete Work in accordance with paragraph 13.14. or 14.7.4. of ENGINEER's actual knowledge of the occurrence of any of the events enumerated in paragraphs 15.2.1 through 15.2.9 inclusive. OWNER may refuse to make payment of the full amount recommended by ENGINEER because claims have been made against OWNER on account of CONTRACTOR's per- formance or furnishing of the Work or Liens have been filed in connection with the Work or there are other items entitling 27 OWNER to a set -off against the amount recommended, but OWNER must give CONTRACTOR immediate written notice (with a copy to ENGINEER) stating the reasons for such action. Substantial Completion: 14.8. When CONTRACTOR considers the entire Work ready for its intended use CONTRACTOR shall notify OWNER and ENGINEER in writing that the entire Work is substantially complete (except for items specifically listed by CONTRACTOR as incomplete) and request that ENGI- NEER issue a certificate of Substantial Completion. Within a reasonable time thereafter. OWNER, CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of the Work to deter- mine the status of completion. If ENGINEER does not con- sider the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGIN EER will prepare and deliver to OWNER a tentative certificate of Substantial Completion which shall fix the date of Substantial Completion. There shall be attached to the certificate a tentative list of items to be completed or cor- rected before final payment. OWNER shall have seven days after receipt of the tentative certificate during which to make written objection to ENGINEER as to any provisions of the certificate or attached list. If, after considering such objec- tions. ENGINEER concludes that the Work is not substan- tially complete. ENGINEER will within fourteen days after submission of the tentative certificate to OWNER notify CONTRACTOR in writing, stating the reasons therefor. If. after consideration of OWNER's objections. ENGINEER considers the Work substantially complete. ENGINEER will within said fourteen days execute and deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a definitive certificate of Substantial Completion (with a revised tentative list of items to be com- pleted or corrected) reflecting such changes from the tentative certificate as ENGINEER believes justified after consider- ation of any objections from OWNER. At the time of delivery of the tentative certificate of Substantial Completion ENGI- NEER will deliver to OWNER and CONTRACTOR a written recommendation as to division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect to security. operation. safety, maintenance. heat. utilities, insurance and warranties. Unless OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree otherwise in writing and so inform ENGINEER prior to ENGINEER's issuing the definitive certificate of Substantial Completion, ENGINEER's afore- said recommendation will be binding on OWNER and CON- TRACTOR until final payment. 14.9. OWNER shall have the right to exclude CON- TRACTOR from the Work after the date of Substantial Com- pletion. but OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on the tentative list. Portia! Utilization: 14.10. Use by OWNER of any finished part of the Work, which has specifically been identified in the Contract Dacu- ments. or which OWNER. ENGINEER and CONTRAC- TOR agree constitutes a separately functioning and useable part of the Work that can be used by OWNER without sig- nificant interference with CONTRACTOR's performance of the remainder of the Work. may be accomplished prior to Substantial Completion of all the Work subject to the follow- ing: 14.10.1. OWNER at any time may request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to use any such part of the Work which OWNER believes to be ready for its intended use and substantially complete. If CON- TRACTOR agrees, CONTRACTOR will certify to OWNER and ENGINEER that said part of the Work is substantially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certificate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. CON- TRACTOR at any time may notify OWNER and ENGI- NEER in writing that CONTRACTOR considers any such part of the Work ready for its intended use and substan- tially complete and request ENGINEER to issue a certif- icate of Substantial Completion for that part of the Work. Within a reasonable time aftereither such request. OWN ER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspec- tion of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion. If ENGINEER does not consider that part of the Work to be substantially complete. ENGINEER will notify OWNER and CONTRACTOR in writing giving the reasons therefor. If ENGINEER considers that part of the Work to be substantially complete. the provisions of para- graphs 14.8 and 14.9 will apply with respect to certification of Substantial Completion of that part of the Work and the division of responsibility in respect thereof and access thereto. 14.10.2. OWNER may at any time request CON- TRACTOR in writing to permit OWNER to take over operation of any such part of the Work although it is not substantially complete. A copy of such request will be sent to ENGINEER and within a reasonable time there- after OWNER. CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER shall make an inspection of that part of the Work to determine its status of completion and will prepare a list of the items remaining to be completed or corrected thereon before final payment. If CONTRACTOR does not object in writ- ing to OWNER and ENGINEER that such part of the Work is not ready for separate operation by OWNER. ENGINEER will finalize the list of items to be completed or corrected and will deliver such list to OWNER and CONTRACTOR together with a written recommendation as to the division of responsibilities pending final payment between OWNER and CONTRACTOR with respect 10 security, operation. safety. maintenance. utilities. insur- ance. warranties and guarantees for that part of the Work which will become binding upon OWNER and CON- TRACTOR at the time when OWNER takes over such operation (unless they shall have otherwise agreed in writ- ing and so informed ENGINEER). During such operation and prior to Substantial Completion of such part of the Work. OWNER shall allow CONTRACTOR reasonable access to complete or correct items on said list and to complete other related Work. Final Inspection: 14.11. Upon written notice from CONTRACTOR that the entire Work or an agreed portion thereof is complete. ENGI- NEER will make a final inspection with OWNER and CON- TRACTOR and will notify CONTRACTOR in wnting of all particulars in which this inspection reveals that the Work is incomplete or defective. CONTRACTOR shall immediately take such measures as are necessary to remedy such defi- ciencies. Final Application for Payment: 14.12. After CONTRACTOR has completed all such cor- rections to the satisfaction of ENGINEER and delivered all maintenance and operating instructions. schedules. guaran- tees, Bonds, certificates of inspection. marked -up record documents (as provided in paragraph 6.19) and other docu- ments —all as required by the Contract Documents, and after ENGINEER has indicated that the Work is acceptable (sub- ject to the provisions of paragraph 14.161.

The final Application for Pay- ment shall be accompanied by all documentation called for in the Contract Documents. together with complete and legally effective releases or waivers (satisfactory to OWNER) of all Liens arising out of or filed in connection with the Work. In lieu thereof and as approved by OWNER. CONTRACTOR may furnish receipts or releases in full: an affidavit of CON- TRACTOR that the releases and receipts include all labor. services, material and equipment for which a Lien could be filed. and that all payrolls. material and equipment bills. and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which OWNER or OWN ER's property might in any way be respon- . sible. have been paid or otherwise satisfied: and consent of the surety. if any. to final payment. If any Subcontractor or Supplier fails to furnish a release or receipt in full. CON- TRACTOR may furnish a Bond or other collateral satisfac- tory to OWNER to indemnify OWNER against any Lien. 28 14.10.3.

ENGINEER is satisfied that the Work has been completed and CONTRACTOR'S other obligations under the Contract Documents have been fulfilled. ENGI- NEER will. within ten days after receipt of the final Appli- cation for Payment. indicate in writing ENGINEER's rec- ommendation of payment and present the Application to OWNER for payment. Thereupon ENGINEER will give written notice to OWNER and CONTRACTOR that the Work is acceptable subject to the provisions of paragraph 14.16. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Otherwise. ENGINEER will return the Application to CON- TRACTOR. indicating in writing the reasons for refusing to recommend final payment. in which case CONTRACTOR shall make the necessary corrections and resubmit the Appli- cation. Thirty days after presentation to OWNER of the Application and accompanying documentation. in appropri- ate form and substance. and with ENGINEER's recommen- dation and notice of acceptability. the amount recommended by ENGINEER will become due and will be paid by OWNER to CONTRACTOR. 14.14. If. through no fault of CONTRACTOR, final com- pletion of the Work is significantly delayed and if ENGI- NEER so confirms, OWNER shall, upon receipt of CON- TRACTOR'S final Application for Payment and recommen- dation of ENGINEER. and without terminating the Agree- ment. make payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted. if the remaining balance to be held by OWNER for Work not fully completed or corrected is less than the retainage stipulated in the Agree- ment. and if Bonds have been furnished as required in para- graph 5.1. the written consent of the surety to the payment of the balance due for that portion of the Work fully com- pleted and accepted shall be submitted by CONTRACTOR to ENGINEER with the Application for such payment. Such payment shall be made under the terms and conditions gov- erning final payment. except that it shall not constitute a waiver of claims.

Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: 15.2.1. if CONTRACTOR commences a voluntary case under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code (Tide 11, United States Code). as now or hereafter in effect. or if CON- TRACTOR takes any equivalent or similar action by filing a petition or otherwise under any other federal or state law in effect at such time relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency: 15.2.2. if a petition is filed against CONTRACTOR under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code as now or hereafter in effect at the time of filing. or if a petition is filed seeking any such equivalent or similar relief against CONTRACTOR under any other federal or state law in effect at the time relating to bankruptcy or insolvency; 15.2.3. if CONTRACTOR makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors: 15.2.4. if a trustee. receiver. custodian or agent of CONTRACTOR is appointed under applicable law or under contract. whose appointment or authority to take charge of property of CONTRACTOR is for the purpose of enforcing a Lien against such property or for the purpose of general administration of such property for the benefit of CONTRACTOR's creditors: 15.2.5. if CONTRACTOR admits in writing an inabil- ity to pay its debts generally as they become due; 15.2.6. if CONTRACTOR persistently fails to perform the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents (including, but not limited to. failure to supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress schedule established under paragraph 2.9 as revised from time to time): 15.2.7. if CONTRACTOR disregards Laws or Regu- lations of any public body having jurisdiction: 15.2.8. if CONTRACTOR disregards the authority of ENGINEER; or 15.2.9. if CONTRACTOR otherwise violates in any substantial way any provisions of the Contract Docu- ments: OWNER may. after giving CONTRACTOR (and the surety. if there be one) seven days' written notice and to the extent permitted by Laws and Regulations. terminate the services of CONTRACTOR, exclude CONTRACTOR from the site and take possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR's tools, appliances. construction equipment and machinery at the site and use the same to the full extent they could be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion). incorporate in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the site or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as OWNER may deem expedient. In such case CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct. indirect and consequential costs of completing the Work (including but not limited to fees and charges of engineers. architects. attor- neys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) such excess will be paid to CONTRACTOR. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR shall pay the difference to OWNER.. Such costs incurred by OWNER will be approved as to reasonableness by ENGINEER and incor- porated in a Change Order. but when exercising any rights or remedies under this paragraph OWNER shall not be required to obtain the lowest price for the Work performed. [The remainder of this page was left blank intentionally.] 30 15.3. Where CONTRACTOR's services have been so terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect any rights or remedies of OWNER against CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys due CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release CONTRACTOR from liability. 15.4. Upon seven days' written notice to CONTRAC- TOR and ENGINEER. OWNER may. without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy. elect to aban- don the Work and terminate the Agreement. In such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus reasonable termination expenses, which will include. but not be limited to. direct. indirect and con- sequential costs (including. but not limited to. fees and charges of engineers, architects. attorneys and other professionals and court and arbitration costs). Contractor May Stop Work or Terminate: 15.5. If, through na act or fault of CONTRACTOR. the Work is suspended for a period of more than ninety days by OWNER or under an order of court or other public authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application for Payment within thirty days after it is submitted. or OWNER fails for thirty days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally deter- mined to be due, then CONTRACTOR may. upon seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER. terminate the Agreement and recover from OWNER payment for all Work executed and any expense sustained plus reasonable termination expenses. In addition and in lieu of terminating the Agreement. if ENGINEER has failed to act on an Appli- cation for Payment or OWNER has failed to make any pay- ment as aforesaid. CONTRACTOR may upon seven days' written notice to OWNER and ENGINEER stop the Work until payment of all amounts then due. The provisions of this paragraph shall not relieve CONTRACTOR of the obligations under paragraph 6.29 to carry on the Work in accordance with the progress schedule and without delay during disputes and disagreements with OWNER. 1 y 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i ARTICLE 16— ARBITRATION 16.1. All claims, disputes and other matters in question between OWNER and CONTRACTOR arising out of, or relating to the Contract Documents or the breach thereof (except for claims which have been waived by the making or acceptance of final payment as provided by paragraph 14.16) will be decided by arbitration in accordance with the Con- struction Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbi- tration Association then obtaining subject to the limitations of this Article 16. This agreement so to arbitrate and any other agreement or consent to arbitrate entered into in accor- dance herewith as provided in this Article 16 will be specifi- cally enforceable under the prevailing law of any court having jurisdiction. 16.2. No demand for arbitration of any claim. dispute or other matter that is required to be referred to ENGINEER initially for decision in accordance with paragraph 9.11 will be made until the earlier of (a) the date on which ENGINEER has rendered a decision or (b) the tenth day after the parties have presented their evidence to ENGINEER if a written decision has not been rendered by ENGINEER before that date. No demand for arbitration of any such claim. dispute or other matter will be made later than thirty days after the date on which ENGINEER has rendered a written decision in respect thereof in accordance with paragraph 9.11: and the failure to demand arbitration within said thirty days' period shall result in ENGINEER's decision being final and binding upon OWNER and CONTRACTOR. If ENGINEER renders a decision after arbitration proceedings have been initiated. such decision may be entered as evidence but will not supersede the arbitration proceedings, except where the decision is acceptable to the parties concerned. No demand for arbitra- tion of any written decision of ENGINEER rendered in accordance with paragraph 9.10 will be made later than ten days after the party making such demand has delivered writ- ten notice of intention to appeal as provided in paragraph 9.10. 16.3. Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing with the other party to the Agreement and with the [The remainder of this page was left blank intentionally.] 31 American Arbitration Association, and a copy will be sent to ENGINEER for information. The demand for arbitration will be made within the thirty -day or ten -day period specified in paragraph 16.2 as applicable. and in all other cases within a reasonable time after the claim. dispute or other matter in question has arisen. and in no event shall any such demand be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim. dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limi- tations. 16.4. No arbitration arising out of or relating to the Con- tract Documents shall include by consolidation. joinder or in any other manner any other person or entity (including ENGINEER. ENGINEER's agents. employees or consul- tants) who is not a party to this contract unless: 16.4.1. the inclusion of such other person or entity is necessary if complete relief is to be afforded among those who are already parties to the arbitration. 16.4.2. such other person or entity is substantially involved in a question of law or fact which is common to those who are already parties to the arbitration and which will arise in such proceedings. and 16.4.3. the written consent of the other person or entity sought to be included and of OWNER and CONTRAC• TOR has been obtained for such inclusion. which consent shall make specific reference to this paragraph: but no such consent shall constitute consent to arbitration of any dispute not specifically described in such consent or to arbitration with any party not specifically identified in such consent. 16.5. The award rendered by the arbitrators will be final. judgment may be entered upon it in any court having juns- diction thereof. and will not be subject to modification or appeal except to the extent permitted by Sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. )410.11).

HOLT Ph.D. & ASSOCIATES INC. P.O. 30Z »if. AUSTIN. TZ An exploration of subsurface soil conditions for the existing Virginia Drive located in Round Rock, Texas was authorized by Mr. Bob Truitt of Pre -Test Laboratory on 13 February 1987. The purpose of this exploration was to determine subsurface materials and to establish criteria for pavement design. SCOPE: SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION AND STREET DESIGN FOR VIRGINIA DRIVE ROUND ROCK, TEXAS INTRODUCTION The following were performed in conjunction with this report: A. The laying out, drilling and logging of three (3) soil borings to a depth of six (6) feet below existing grade. Borings were laid out at maximum intervals of 500 feet. B. Samples were taken where possible. Undisturbed samples were taken using a Shelby Tube Sampler. Standard penetration tests were 1 LACY H. HOLT Ph.D. & ASSOCIATES NC. o. SOX WC. AUS TN. TS performed using a 2 inch 0.D. Split-Barrel Sampler driven by a 140 pound hammer dropping a distance of thirty (30) inches. The number of blows to drive the sampler a distance of twelve (12) inches is recorded and shown on the attached Boring Logs. Grab samples were also taken off the auger flights. C. Water level measurements were made during the drilling operations and are noted on the Boring Logs. D. Laboratory tests were performed on selected samples to determine moisture content, shear strength and percentage of fine and coarse grain materials. The results of the tests aided in the classifica- tion of soils and defined the specific properties of the soil. SITE DESCRIPTION: Virginia Drive is located in Round Rock, Texas approximately 3 blocks north of U.S. Highway 79. The street section covered by this investigation runs from Larry Lane to Egger Drive. The street crosses a drainage channel at the east end. However, drainage appears to slope very gradually to the west end. The street does not have curb and gutter and shallow drainage ditches exist above each side of the street. SUBSURFACE DESCRIPTION: The subsurface conditions are depicted in more detail by the Logs of Soil Borings. In general, below the asphalt and base, the subsurface condi- tions found in our borings consist of black or brown to light brown silty clay that extends to a depth of four and one -half (4 -1/2) to six (6) feet below the existing grade. In Boring B -1 a tan clayey silt is found from four and one -half (4 -1/2) to six (6) feet and in Boring B -2 tan weathered lime- stone rock was encountered at a depth of five and one -half (5 -1/2) feet. The 2 JACK E. HOLT Ph.D. & ASSOCIATES INC. !. o. Sox D I. AUSRN. TX clays range in plasticity from 29 to 31. Liquid Limits range from 55% to 56 %. The soil conditions described are based on a few widespread soil bor_ ings over a relatively large area. Variations may occur between the borings. The stratification of the soils shown on the Boring Logs represents the soil conditions at the actual boring locations. GROUNDWATER: The borings were dry upon completion of the drilling operation, indi- cating that the groundwater level at the time of exploration was probably more than six (6) feet below the existing ground surface. PAVEMENT DESIGN: The results of the Unit Dry Weight Tests, Moisture Content Tests, and Atterberg Limits Tests were compared with the results of similar tests that were performed in connection with Texas Highway Department triaxial compres- sion tests in the past in order to select the typical maximum THD triaxial compression classification for the subgrade materials in the area. Based on this comparison and on past experience, the following THD triaxial classi- fication was selected. Subgrade Material THD Classification Brown silty clay 5.2 The pavement thickness for this subgrade material and for typical street width of 50 foot ROW to be classified as minor residential was deter- mined using THD Classification of soils and pavement design curves for resi- dential traffic. These thicknesses are tabulated below. 3 JACK H. HOLT Ph.D. & ASSOCIATES INC. A 0. BOX »rs. AUSTIN. Ti PAVEMENT DESIGN SECTION: Materials Thickness Crushed Limestone Base Material 8 inches Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete 1 -1/2 inches PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS: Pavement should be constructed and tested to meet the following re- quirements: 1. Hot Mix Asphaltic Concrete Surface - All materials shall be subject to the approval of the engineer when tested in accordance with the specifications and test methods outlined in THD Bulletin C -14. 2. Crushed Limestone Base - The crushed limestone base shall be obtained from an approved source and shall be free of all deleteri- ous materials. The existing base may be re -used if properly removed and is not contaminated and is approved by the testing laboratory. The crushed stone base shall be compacted to a density to at least 100% of the maximum density as determined by THD Test Method TEX- 113 -E. 3. Compacted Subgrade - Remove existing base and stockpile for re -use. The exposed subgrade should be prepared by removing any organic materials and soft clays and the upper eight (8) inches of the sub - grade shall be and compacted to a density equal to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined in accordance with THD Test Method TEX - 113 -E. 4. Compacted Embankments - Street embankments shall be graded and shaped for good drainage and shall be compacted to a density equal 4 JACK R. BOLT Ph.D. & ASSOCIATES INC. P. 0. Box 5E1. AUBT[N. TZ to at least 95% of the maximum dry density as determined in accord- ance with THO Test Method TEX -113 -E unless the material is substan- tially clay in which event 90% is appropriate. 5. Drainage - The street shall be crowned for rapid run -off. The base material should extend at least eighteen (18) inches behind the curb line where possible. REMARKS: This report has been prepared in order to aid in the evaluation of this property and to assist the architect and engineer in the design of the proj- ect. It is intended for use with regard to specific projects discussed in general herein and any substantial changes in locations or grades should be brought to our attention so that we may determine how this may effect our conclusions. If during the proposed construction, the soil strata are found to differ from that reported here, we should be notified immediately. This report contains soil boring logs which are used in arriving at foundation criteria and are not to be used by the excavation contractor in arriving at rock hardness or rock depth. The procedures, tests and recommendations of this investigation and report have been conducted and furnished in accord- ance with generally accepted professional engineering practices in the field of foundation, engineering soil mechanics and engineering geology.
