March 29, 1991 Ms. Kerrie Ashbeck City of Fort Collins 281 North College Avenue P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Subject: State Farm Addition - 4900 S. College Avenue Fort Collins, CO Project No. 89173.00 Dear Ms. Ashbeck: This letter is to certify that the drainage improvements con- structed as part of the above -referenced project are in general conformance with the approved plans. This certification is based on the following items: 1. An inspection of the completed site to verify that the drainage structures are in place. 2. A survey to determine the elevation of the outlet struc- tures and overflows of the detention areas. These elevations are in conformance with the approved plans within a tolerance of about plus or minus one -tenth of a foot. The site inspection identified a low area in the driveway on the east side of the new addition near the location of the dumpster. There is significant ponding of water at this location which will be a maintenance problem. Please note that the construction activities were not observed by this engineer and this certification does not include the conform- ance of the materials or the construction methods to the plans and specifications. Please call if you have any questions. qcerel , n D. Allis, Jr.,P.E. ject Engineer JDA/gl xc: Robert J.

This method is fine, provided the trench backfill is recompacted prior to replacing the asphalt. However, as I stated previously,the additional settlement isprobability of �'�t and we need to be satisfied that there will not be any further street damage due to utility trench failure. It is my reconmnendation that the more severe areas be repaired, then hold off on any further repairs until the total extent of the problem can be determined. In addition, it is not in the City,s best interest to allow a less then one Year old street to be cut and patched in several locations. This method only increases our maintenance costs. Therefore, a minimum 3/4 inch plant mix seal coat or what may be required through the non-destructive tests will be required on all streets that may need repair. Please contact me as soon as Possible on what decisions and actions you intend to take which will address our concerns regarding the streets and settlement problems in this development.

This will allow the flow to be unaffected and enough of the cul- vert walls to be in the ditch bank to eliminate erosion potential. I will be submitting a flaw certification to the ditch company on a separate correspondence. TAS/ln 432 Link Lane Plaza Ft.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Attention: Dave Stringer Subject: Bridge Construction Phase II of Fairway Five Estates Dear Dave: salvtL JAM o� isR7 We have run into a couple of problems with our bridge. First, our main water line casing is twenty (201) feet short to accommodate the new bridge design. Second, the skew angle of the large box culvert is approximately two degrees less than what it should be. Solution to our first problem is to negotiate with Lyle Nelson and see if he would accept the next size larger R.C.P. culvert than originally specified. If not, we will have to lengthen the water casing in order to be accepted by the Fort Collins - Loveland Water District. Todd Shimoda, Parsons and Associates, is handling the situation with the ditch company with a flow certification. A letter to Albrecht Companies from Parsons and Associates is attached. The box culvert is being manufactured in Denver and will be delivered within the next two weeks for installation. Our intention is to have the access completed within a month, weather permitting. Dave, if you have any problems or questions about any of the above items, please contact us. Bill Albrecht or Jay Klein at 223-1494.

Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Dear Dave: I want to express my appreciation for your willingness to work with Albrecht Homes on the Fairway Five Estates development completion. It may appear that we are delaying completion of the bridge structure, but our ultimate goal is to complete the structure by April 1st at the lowest possible dollar. As I indicated to you on the phone, we are attempting to negotiate with Lyle Nelson to accept a less expensive design. In the event we do not accomplish successful negotiations, we will build the bridge structure per the approved plans. Your issuing a Certificate of Occupancy on Lot 11 is greatly appreciated and kept us from spending monies on extraordinary solutions. I will not request a Certificate of Occupancy on any lot beyond the 660 feet until the bridge structure is complete. Again, I want to thank you for your cooperation, and I assure you my intent is to perform as agreed to. Sincerely, ALBRECHT COMpANI S, .INC. Vi l 11 m' G. Albr cht President WGA/dsc 4836 S.

Boardwalk, Suite 250 Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 RE: Fairway Five Estates Dear Mr. Albrecht: The intent of this letter is to address some concerns I have regarding the s anned installation of public improvements in the Fairway Five EstatePl Unit Development. Recently, many areas of street settlement have begun to appear. The major settlements seem to be around manholes, valve boxes and sanitary service laterals with some settlement of water service trenches. I am concerned with the amount of settlement which has already occurred. It is quit extensive for a development less than one year old, and further damage will occur in the future from additional settlement. It is my opinion that what we are seeing today is just the beginning, and street settlements will continue. in reviewing our files I cannot find any record of density tests for the underground utility work, street, curb, gutter, or sidewalks. The only test results we have are for the density and gradations of the asphalt Pavement and concrete cu , gutter and sidewalk. Were tests taken on the backfill of the water arxi sewer work? If so, were $hey sufficient to guard against the possibility of major settlement? As You recall, the City allowed construction of this Project to begin prior to the approval of the utility plans with the understanding that Albrecht CMTPanies would be responsible for the performance of its contractors as it rates to the construction of the public improvements. Based upon what is fitly taking place in this development, the City will not accept any of the public improvements in Fairway Five Estates development until as it is brought up to an aoceptable City standard. such time Based upon the present condition of streets in this development, we can only assume the worst. Therefore, we feel non-destructive testing is required to determine the adequacy of the pavement and subgrade structure. Please call us to set up a meeting so that we can discuss the Cityvs requirements for this non-destructive testing. 300 LaPorte Avenue • P.O. Box 580 • Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 • (303) 221-6605
