HARDING LAWSON ASSOCIATES Geotechnical engineering report on Oaks and Briarwood Addition Harding Lawson Associates has completed the first phase of the geotechnical investigation of the pavement and subgrade at the Oaks and Briarwood Addition. They are recommending a 611 compacted base course, a 611 stabilized subgrade, and 1!.z1l of hot mix asphalt. They al so advi sed that the subgrade and base course be extended under the exi sti ng curb and gutter and 1211 beyond the back of the existing curbing, in other words remove and replace all exi sti ng curb and gutter. Thi s is not what we had orgi na lly planned for the street improvements of this area and will result in a substantial cost increase. We had originally planned to pulverize and stabilize the existing pavement and subgrade to a depth of 611 and lay a 211 hot mix asphalt mat overthat and replace only the curb and gutter that was obviously damaged at this time. After receiving this report on Thursday, May 11, 1989, I called Gary Fisher and put the design work Oaks and Briarwood Addition on hold until the Mayor, Council and City Manager has the opportunity to decide what they want to do with this issue.
