services provided on this date.
November 14, 2014 14-6581
1) GROUND received and reviewed approved Town of Vail (TOV) detail S-201 and S-302 details. A letter dated October 28, 2014 from
Anderson and Hastings with attached observation reports (9/12/14, 10/9/14) was received on October 30, 2014 from Dale Zerr with GE
Johnson. The following below is the response per each discrepancy item and the results:
A) discrepancy item #1: A&H letter dated 10/28/14 accepts this condition of bolting in lieu of welding to existing beam with RFC #20;
however, the detail was not added to the Approved details, no TOV approval of letter nor RFC #20. This item remains open.
B) discrepancy item #2: details SX-5 and SX-6 have been added to TOV approved detail S-201, therefore this discrepancy is close on this
date.
C) discrepancy item #3: in regards to column not being inspected prior to covering, letter dated 10/28/14 states:
"Per observation report dated September 12, 2014, it was noted that it is acceptable to weld the HSS columns to the top flange of the
existing beam flanges found to be slightly off center, provided that the all-around weld as noted on the structural drawings could be achieved.
Also, per response to RFC No. 008 the base connections were found acceptable at the north entry columns".
This letter has no TOV approval, nor RFC #008. This item remains open.
D) discrepancy item #4: in regards to slopped HSS was cut in the field and at elevation "A" peak it was found welded three sides with a
gap at the top (not welded) of 3/8, per letter dated 10/28/14 states:
"The connection reference was found to be acceptable per field observations dated October 9, 2014".
This letter has no TOV approval. This item remains open.
E) discrepancy item #5: GROUND has not received TOV approval for RFC #11 as requested, nor approved letter dated 10/28/14. These
connections were found per detail and in compliance with AWS D1.1-10 clause 6 at the time of inspection.
F) discrepancy item #7 & #8: SX-5, SX-6, and SX-7 was added to the TOV approved details, therefore these discrepancies are closed on
this date.
G) discrepancy item #9: noted on A&H letter dated 10/28/14 it appears as discrepancy item #8. Letter accepts the bottom and top weld
not being in place; however, GROUND has not received TOV approval, nor approved letter dated 10/28/14. This discrepancy will remain
open.
H) discrepancy item #10: A&H required that the moment plate be welded as per detail B/S-201 grids "B" and SX-6 in letter dated
10/28/14. GROUND had received this letter on 10/30/14 from Dale and responded back with E-mail, informing Dale that this item needed
correction per this letter. GROUND also arrived on site dated 11/12/14 and disused this with Dale. GROUND was informed that the
connection was covered and A&H was notified. This item will remain open.
2) GROUND has not received TOV approval copies of EOR approved shop details in regards to discrepancy item #6. This item will remain
open.
3) GROUND has talked with Dale and was informed that letters, revisions, RFI/RFC need Town Of Vail approval prior to GROUND signing
off discrepancies or accepting the coditions. This has been applied to the details S-201 and S-302; however, the above discrepancies that
remain open need approval.
