The saw cut option seems the most suitable for our needs since <br />we may not own this lot in a few months.. <br />Once we had a clear shot at soil I'm sure we can take it from there. I've worked with contractors for concrete <br />cuts in the past so I could go which ever way you prefer - -- call a contractor or turn to you for the cuts. <br />I don't want to put you out if you really don't have the time, so I'll leave it entirely up to you. <br />I just really appreciate having your input and knowledge on things like this - things that are new to me. <br />Let's talk next week. <br />Thanks again and take care. -Dave <br />---- - - - - -- Forwarded message ---- - - - - -- <br />From: "JOYNER Damon D" < Damon .D.Joyner(rr�,ci.eugene.or..us <br />Date: Aug 24, 2012 4:28 PM - <br />Subject: RE: FW: Hi..Do You guys do the surface repairs in the alleys downtown? <br />To: "Dave Lane" < daveclanecoe@gLnail.com_ >, "LANE Dave C" < Dave.C.Lane ,ci.eugene.or.us <br />Cc: "MICKELSON Chad S" <Chad. S.Mickelson ci.eu ene.or.us> <br />Dave, <br />Sounds good. <br />Without knowing the depth or integrity of the existing asphalt I would be disinclined to utilize a surface mounted sign <br />support — although it would be cheaper and quicker. I believe your best choice would be to core (with a large bit 8 -10 ") <br />and vac out an area for a sleeve, then install the post in the sleeve — so it can be repaired if compromised. The other <br />way is to cut out a small square, 8 -12 ", vac out for a sleeve or install the sign post and repair the surface. Putting in a <br />sleeve is some additional work up front, but any subsequent replacement is performed without surface intrusion. <br />The best approach would likely be determined by anticipated life span. If the sign is never going to get hit or the life is . <br />limited, cut the asphalt, dig out a hole a couple feet deep, set the post, backfill and cap with cold mix. If the useful life is <br />anticipated to be years or the likelihood for the post being compromised is high, take the time to put in a sleeve so <br />repair can be completed without impacting the surface. <br />We don't have a core drill, so you would need to hire a contractor to cut the hole, at least. If you wanted to cut the <br />surface and repair, we could saw out a small square. Are you looking for a complete install or a partnership at some <br />level to accomplish the sign installation? Also, what is the project timeframe? <br />a <br />
