Gulf Coast hxpVriment :.tation Fairhope, :41%1 amer V,Par Sir s It has been called to our atb:esalon that there has been a protest by a producer of local base material, clue to the fact that it is proposed to use base material from a pit on the property of the Gulf Coast xpurimc-nt ration for the paving of streets in the City of Fairhope under Ordinance No. M4. And, th.,t in view of this protest it becomes necessary for you to take steps to protect the Gulf Coast Experiment :station in the matter o adverse public relations. In view of t is deveal.op"Itnte tze the unde=si.tin d, idayor and kemhers of the Ciiy ConAcil of the city of kairhope furnish you ttne O'ollmeing tactual infor:-43tion. During August I" our t:n-;sneers invoctigated the availability 01 satisfactory local base material or use on t1his project. Only three pits; with satisfact©ry matel-- f a l that could k; * securod -.:ere loc. -ited. One pit at Daphne is the pxnpexty of 1= r.

Since the Cost of base material is directly s frected by the length of haul$ the distances from kne pits to the center of Fai!:hope o -e listed below to show the appx, oxi- .ata difference in overhaul. units. Daphne Pit - 4*6 mile% Pit ao. 1 - 2.4 miles, tit 1o. 2 - 3.4 miles. r 2 «0 P it No. i was tested and £ouhd to be Granular Soil Base Courser Material, Class l,Type B. Pit No. 2 was found to be Granular Soil Base Course Material, Class 1, Type A. No test reports as to the quality o-f material from the Daphne pit were furnished the Engineers, although the material would definitely fall in the Class 19 Tyyppe A or S clas ification. Dupe to the difference in overhaul, bids were asked for on pits Noo i and No. 2. Until the present time no protests were retistered concernin this action. Since Type i� material is superior to Type 2 our engineers decided to use material from Pit No. 2. Our c ntractor is now at work in Pit No. 2 engaged in clearing and :rubbing ar-d strippin . If for any reason we should be required to move from this pit the contractor would be entitled to at least �400.00 and possibly more for the change. The cost of our project would also be increased Cue to additional overhaul from a more distant pit. In view of the fact th•;it"This material is tobeused for municipal, improvements we do not consider that criticiser is justified. LW I 1p c.c. [jean E. V. 5mlth c.c.
