On August 19, 1998, we visually observed the excavation at Lot 2, Oakridge 13th, (1101 Oakridge
Drive), a subdivision of Fort Collins, Colorado. The purpose of this observation was to verify that
the soil conditions encountered is the excavation are generally consistent with those outlined in the
soils report performed by Foundation & Soils Engineer Inc., Job No. 1661-04-01-02. This letter i:,
not intended to be a summary of the soils report and does not meet the disclosure requiTenrL11ts of
Colorado Senate hill 13, 6-6.5-101.
A test pit was excavated to a depth of four (4) feet below footing elevation. Groundwater was
observed within four (4) feet of footing elevation,
The subsurface conditions exposed in the excavation appeared to he generally consistent with those
described in the above referenced soils report, which recommends a balanced spread footing typo
foundation system for these subsurface conditions. Based on our observation, the proposed footing,_
grade is below the high swelling upper soils that were encountered during the soils investigation
Water was encountered at a depth of approximately nine (9) feet.
We recommend that damp -proofing be instal led at the foundation walls for all below -grade, habitable
living areas per 1991 UBC Section 2915,
Due to the measured depth of groundwater below footing elevation, it is our opinionthat a perimeter
drain is not required for this structure.
If you have any questions,
