Frontage Rd. West, Suite 215 Vail, Colorado 81657 Attn: Mr. Williams, As requested, a representative of GROUND visited the project to perForm construction materials testing. We observed the reinforcing steel and post tension tendons placed for the first level, pour 3. The reinforcing steel was observed for bar size, bar number, spacing, lap, and clearance. The tendons were observed for quantities, profile height and the overall condition of the tendons. We observed missing backup bars, missing slab bar, and missing beam bars. Also many tendons required sheathing at the anchor points. Kurt with J.D. Steel was notified and corrected the areas immediately. We also observed the reinforcing steel placed for the topping slab at pre-cast area 3, upper level garage pour #3, footings at B10.8/W, Wall at B8.5/W, Mechanical pads, upper level garage, M/B34.5/D/B29.8, and a beam at the upper level garage (see RFO 900.1) H/72. The reinforcing steel placed in these areas was observed for specified quantities, sizes, spacing, splice length and general placement within the forms. The reinforcing steel appears to have been placed in general accordance with the project specifications. Jeff with PCL was notified of all results. Sincerely, GROUND Engineering Consultants, Inc.

Frontage Rd. West, Suite 215 Vail, Colorado 81657 Attn: Mr. Williams, As requested, a representative of GROUND visited the project to perForm construction materials testing. Two technicians were scheduled for elongation measurements and post-tension tendon stressing observations for Level 1 pours 1-3. Upon our arrival on-site it was observed that only the western edge of pours 1 & 2 had been cleaned and prepped for stressing. J.D. Steel was working on stripping the forms for the intermediate tendons located under the deck of pour 1 & pour 2. Pour 3 forms were still in place and untouched both for the tendon tails on the edges as well as intermediate tendons located under the deck. Due to the lack of tendons prepped and cleaned to stress, it was determined that only one representative would be needed to perform the tasks at hand. Kurt & Wes with J.D.
