Chicago, Ill. May 9,1922.- Honorable Board of Public Works, South Band, Indiana. Gentleman: - We hereby offer to test and inspect, in the same throughly intelligent and scientific manner as heretofore, the asphalt paving awarded in your City during the year 1922, on the following basis:- 1. We agree to place an experienced asphalt tnppector at the Contractor's asphalt plant during the entire period of preparing the paving mixtures, for the purpose of seeing that the specifications are properly interpreted by the Contractor and that the mixtures are uniform and correct in every respect to successfully meet your local traffic and climatic conditions. No mixture will be permitted to leave the plant until same has been approved by the inspector as being suitable for the particular place where it is to be laid. Whemover it is necessary to change the proportions of the ingredients in the mixture to accommodate it to a changed traffic of foundation condition, the inspector is fully qualified, acting under our personal instructions, to make such change. 2. We agree to make at least one personal visit to your work for each 159000 square yards of finished pavement, out first visit to be made at the time of starting the asphalt plant on your work to personally standardize and regulate the ingredients, and subsequent visits at fairly regular intervals during the pro- gress of the work. 3 We agree to assit the Contractor in the selection of the materials most suitable for yo r work, analyzingin advance of his orderingsame such sam ies, subnitted to us b the Contracto, or your Engineer with tat ob.iect in New . This prevents the contractor from ordering Into hi plant site materials which, while fully meetin the requirements of your specifications, may still be very unsatis- factory for �he particular purpose intended. 4. We agree to make careful analyzses Cf all raw materials before permit - tin the Contractor to use same in your work reijeating such materials as are un- sui able for your work, and sending copies of al tests to your Engineer. 5 We agree to annalyze.:the samples of asphalt and fluxing oils submitted with the bids of tie Contractors advising your Engineer as to which materials comply with the specifications or are Co ontractors satisfactory for your purpose.
