Attn: Mr. Salli,
This letter summarizes the special inspection, materials testing and special inspection services GROUND
Engineering Consultants, Inc. (GROUND) performed during construction of the SHORING/FOUNDATION
ELEMENTS ONLY for the Red Sandstone Parking Garage located at 551 N Frontage Rd W in Vail,
Colorado. These services were performed at times scheduled by the Contractor and/or Subcontractors
between April 16, 2018 and September 30, 2018.
During construction, representatives of our office were present on a part time basis to periodically
observe the soil nail installation and shotcrete placements, as well as micropile installations. Grout and
shotcrete samples were periodically obtained for laboratory analysis. Representatives of our office also
observed reinforcing steel placement and performed periodic testing on the structural concrete placed for
the foundation elements, including footings and pile caps.
Based on our review of the test results and the field observations to date, it is our opinion that the
materials tested or observed as noted above generally conformed to the project plans, specifications, and
approval from the design team, and/or applicable RFI's.
The observations and materials testing as indicated above were performed as scheduled 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. "'' \wr\
