Sit: As per your request, I. am hsndina you herewith a detailed cost sheet of the woi-k between Hot Lake and La Grande, with an etplanation as to the chiinges'm'ade in paving contract. It is hardly necessary for me to go into details as to the (finite conditions which exist on this job.- Suffice it to say that the county was expected to comply with the laws of 1917 in grading and placing in godd condi tion, all roadbeds over which it es pected the Highway Commission to pave. . Because of local conditions, this grade settled badly and it was found by the time the contractor had paved the first mile and a half that the pnvement and lxise was too light for the condition which prevailed.. It then became necessary to make such a change in specifications as would (five the state a permanent job and the following agreement was made with the contractors: . That on all pavement which had been completed and which had shown a tendency to fail, the contractor; was to lay a 3-inch bituminous base at a price of $1.10 per square yard and on top of this additional base, the contractor was to lay a 2-ineh bitum inous wearing surface at his .own ex pense." In other words, the contractor had already laid a 2-inch wearing sur face which had practically failed and he agreed to replace these failures and give the state a 7-inch depth of bituminous pavement at the same cost to the state as we are now paying for -inch bituminous pavements and STATEMENT OF COST ISLAND CITV-LA CKANOE HOT LAKE PAVING.

The. pure on this additional ba'e was arrived st through detailed costs kept on. many paving job throughout the. state anl leaves little or no. margin for profit. the department ls cCm.side red it necesnary to uw considerably heavier macadainitrd base than hai tn use1 previously and this, was .deliver! to the Highway IVpartmrnt at the unit prices .submitted in the original pro posal. You will, note from the detailed .statement attached that the depart ment has done considerable gruding which should have been done by tha county, also that we huve built drains throughout the entire length of the work. The original job was awarded throughout its length for a, .3-inch bituminous top, and, as the job stands now, it has a depth of 5 inches oyer all of that part which was unfinish ed at the time the first work com mented to show fni!ur, and over practically all of that work ' which commenced to show failure, we now have a depth of 7 inches of bitumin ous pavement and .the original amount of macadam base has been considerably increased,' all of which has rawed our original estimate con siderably. I do feel at this-time that the additional heavy pavement is ful ly justified by the conditions which we find there and feel that the woik will give general satisfaction. If there is anything further you desire to know in regard to rtlis job, i assure you that we stand ready to .supply the information if possible. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT NuNN, ' .
