test holes during plan preparation, it was estimated
that lime stabilization of- the subgrade would be .
necessary on about 50 per cent of this project; 'how-
ever, during construction, .it was determined that
about 80 per cent of the project required. lime
stabilization of the subgrade. + $7,049.54

that there was not sufficient existing gravel on
the four units in the North Side; therefore,

vaged gravel and the addition of new gravel

were made with the following results:
Exceeds Even With Under Specs But Below
Paving Specs Specs Within Tolerance Tolerance
Surface 165 8 12 0
Base 164 8 7 0
On entire project the average thickness of the surface course is 1.98
inches as compared with 1.50 inches specified and the base course is
8.23 inches as compared with 7.00 inches specified.
