(GROUND) performed during construction of the foundation elements to date for the main building of the Vail Golf and Nordic Center Project located in Vail, Colorado. The special inspection and materials testing services were performed at times scheduled by the Contractor and/or Subcontractors between September 25th, 2015 and January 14th, 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 to date as foundation soils and during the placement of backfill for the footings. Visual observations and/or nuclear- moisture density testing was periodically performed on the native and processed soils. Representatives of our office periodically observed reinforcing steel placement and performed periodic testing on the structural concrete placed for the foundation, foundation walls and other structural elements. Samples of the structural concrete were periodically tested to determine physical properties and compressive strength. 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 structural soils and reinforced concrete were in general accordance with project plans, specifications, and/or applicable RFI’s at the time of observation and/or testing. 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.
