Borrow Source #3
Borrow source #3 is located four (4) miles from the project. The source is a local truck company that allowed previous customers to stockpile excavation spoils there. They are willing to sell the material to you at a delivered price of $5.95 per loose cubic yard (delivered in bottom dumps). The truck broker estimates that he has 230,000 loose cubic yards of material available. Lab results show that this material has a density of 120 pcf and swelled approximately 18% when excavated and will shrink approximately 16% when compacted. The broker estimates that they will be able to deliver you 18 double-bottom truck loads per hour on average.
