Box 209, Frisco, CO 80443, (719) 491‐1807 August 17, 2012 Jeff Gates Denver Design Building, LLC jeffg@denverdesignbuildllc.com Subject: Asbestos testing at Vail Racquet Club, Building 10, Unit 17, Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr. Gates, At your request, I have completed asbestos testing at Vail Racquet Club, Building 10, Unit 17, Vail, Colorado 81657, (hereinafter, “subject property”). The purpose was to, (1) identify the presence or absence of asbestos containing building materials, and (2) characterize any asbestos containing building materials that were confirmed. Unit 17 is to be renovated. I inspected the subject property on August 17, 2012. I sampled and had tested by a certified asbestos laboratory; wallboard, drywall tape, joint compound, and finish coat (four samples); linoleum/adhesive (one sample), floor leveling compound (one sample), and insulation (one sample). All materials tested were non‐friable. No other suspect materials were identified. RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS All samples tested were negative for asbestos. (Reference Appendix 1 for asbestos test results.) No further asbestos testing is required. Please contact me at future1946@yahoo.com, or by telephone at (719) 491‐1807 if you have questions. (Reference Appendix 2 for current asbestos certifications.) Sincerely yours, The E‐Quest Corporation Howard E.
