Attn: Mr. Collins,
This letter summarizes the special inspection and materials testing services GROUND Engineering
Consultants, Inc. (GROUND) performed during construction of the Vail Marriott Mezzanine Beam Repair
Project in Vail, Colorado. The special inspection and materials testing services were performed at times
scheduled by the Contractor and/or Subcontractors between August 18th, 2015 and September 2nd, 2015.
During construction, structural steel welded and bolted connections were periodically observed during
construction by a certified welding inspector (CWI). The observations and testing were completed at
times scheduled by the Contractor or Subcontractor. Also, observations and testing were performed on
the Spray-applied Fire Resistant Materials (SFRM) for adhesion, density and thickness. The
observations and testing were completed at times scheduled by the Contractor or Subcontractor.
Based on the field observations to date, RFI’s received and/or project documentation received from the
design team, it is our opinion that the materials observed for the welded connections, anchor bolt
installation and spray applied fire resistant materials were in general accordance with project plans,
specifications, and/or applicable RFI’s.
The observations and materials testing as indicated above were performed periodically to provide data to
the Owner, Contractor and Subcontractors to assist them in evaluating the general compliance of the
materials and/or work with the contract documents at the times of our observation and testing. We did
not supervise, direct nor have any control over any of the Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s work. We were
not responsible for the Contractor’s or Subcontractor’s scheduling of our services, means, methods,
procedures, techniques, or sequences of construction, nor responsible for ensuring that any Contractor or
Subcontractor performed or completed the work in accordance with the contract documents or
construction industry standards.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
GROUND Engineering Consultants, Inc.
