Re: Construction Observation and Testing — Final Compliance Summary Report
Three (3) Proposed Building Additions for Dellenbach Motors
3111 South College Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
EEC Project No. 1124115
Mr. Dellenbach:
As you are aware, during various construction phases for the referenced project, Earth
Engineering Consultants (EEC) personnel, provided construction observation and testing
services of requested items on a part-time/periodic, as-needed/on-call basis as scheduled by
the project's general contractor, Dohn Construction, as per the project specifications. Bi-
monthly construction materials testing (CMT)/quality control (QC) reports concerning the
services provided by EEC personnel were submitted to the Dellenbach Motors, (the
owner's), Dohn Construction, (the general contractor), and to the project design team
members' attention during the appropriate time period(s) as the test results became
available. We have recently been asked by Mr. Mike Snow, project superintendent with
Dohn Construction, to provide a summary and/or compliance letter addressing the services
performed by EEC personnel regarding but not limited to the foundation(s) and interior
floor slab(s) structural related elements, concrete masonry units (CMU) construction, and
structural steel erection components for the three (3) additions.
During the foundation construction phase for the referenced project, EEC personnel
provided site observations and field density testing of on -site subsoils/replaced as
engineered fill material within the three (3) foundation alignments, interior floor slab areas,
backfill of foundation walls, and within on -site utility trenches, as recommended in the
project -specific subsurface exploration report, (please refer to EEC's "Surface Exploration
Report" dated August 20, 2012, Project No. 1122065). EEC personnel provided
reinforcement observation of the foundation system(s) including the conventional spread

footings placed on either native subsoils and/or approved en�ineered/controlled fill
material, cast-in-place foundation walls, and interior floor slab. During the concrete
masonry unit (CMU) wall construction phases, EEC personnel provided, on a
� periodic/special-inspection basis, reinforcement observations and observation/testing
services of the CMU components, (i.e., mortar, grout and CMU block strength
characteristics). EEC personnel also provided testing of all cast-in-place concrete for the
foundation system(s), and interior floor slab(s), along with the exterior concrete flatwork
areas. ,
Based on our review of the outlined testing, as directed by the general contractor and
completed by EEC personnel on an as-needed basis, the final field density test results
within the building addition footprint(s), and associated exterior flatwork, along with site
utilities, met the project compaction requirements for fill materials placed and compacted
to redevelop the foundation bearing strata, interior floor slab elevations, backfill placed
adjacent to foundation walls and within on-site utility trenches. Laboratory compressive
strength tests completed on the cast-in-place concrete for all foundation elements and floor
slabs, along with the mortar, grout, and CMU prisms for the CMU bearing walls, all
conformed to the project specified minimum 28-day compressive strengths requirements.
Observations of reinforcement within each of the foundation systems for the project, (i.e.,
the cast-in-place conventional spread footings, cast-in-place foundation walls), along with
the CMU walls, were completed by EEC personnel and reports were submitted to your
attention during the appropriate periods as the results became available. Based on our
' review of the outlined observations, we believe the reinforcement within the foundation
system and structural relative elements were placed and constructed in general compliance
with the project plans and specifications and associated RF['s specific to the project.
Observations for the structural steel erection, welding and bolt connections were completed
by EEC's in-house ICC Bolt and Weld Inspector, and reports were submitted to your
attention during the appropriate period as the results became available. Based on
information received, we believe the structural steel, weld, and bolted connections were in
general compliance with the project plans and specifications.
