Attn: Mr. Hughes,
This letter summarizes the special inspections GROUND Engineering Consultants, Inc. (GROUND)
performed during construction of the Hughes Residence located at 994 Ptarmigan Rd in Vail, Colorado.
The special inspection services were performed at times scheduled by the Contractor and/or
Subcontractors between September 17th, 2015 and June 15th, 2016.
During construction, representatives of our office were present on a part time basis to periodically
observe the open hole excavations and structural fills placed for foundations and structural walls.
Nuclear-moisture density testing and observations were periodically performed on the processed soils.
Representatives of our office periodically observed reinforcing steel placement and performed periodic
testing on the structural concrete placed for the foundation footings, walls, and slab on grade. Samples
of the concrete were periodically tested to determine physical properties and compressive strength.
Structural steel welded and/or bolted connections were periodically observed during construction of
structural elements by a certified welding inspector (CWI) and as scheduled by Contractor.
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 as noted above 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.
Sincerely,
GROUND Engineering Consultants, Inc.
