Dear Mr. Jeakins:
At the request of Tuscany Properties/Jeakins Construction, LLC, we reviewed Terracon
observation reports of the foundation system for the above referenced project. Monitoring by
Terracon was provided at the direction of Tuscany Properties/Jeakins Construction, LLC on an
.,as requested" basis. Terracon services generally consisted of observation of foundation
footing excavations "open -hole", foundation size, reinforcing steel, damp -proofing, drains and
concrete testing. Our foundation observation services on the project building utilized the project
specifications and the recommendations in the "Geotechnical Engineering Report", dated
December 26, 2000, Project No. 20005257 and the "Soil and Groundwater Profile Analysis —
Geotechnical Engineering Report -Revision No. 1", dated December 12, 2001, Project No.
20005257.
Foundation Excavation
Terracon provided observation of the foundation bearing soils, in conjunction with the footing
observations, as requested during construction. A summary of the observations and structural
review response items were provided in written reports upon completion. Per Terracon's
geotechnical report and observations performed, footing foundation has been placed in general
accordance with the plans and specifications and were placed on the anticipated bearing
material identified in our geotechnical report.
Foundation Footing, Wall, and Slab Reinforcinq Steel
Terracon provided reinforcing steel placement observation in structural concrete placements as
requested. The observations performed were observed to be in compliance per the provided
plans and specifications for the project and have been formally reported to the client and
designated parties. It is recommended that the project structural engineer review the test
reports for acceptance as meeting the project criteria.

Performed observation for exterior and interior perimeter drains and waterproof dampening was
observed for exterior foundations and was noted as acceptably constructed and uniformly
applied; respectively.
Concrete
The Portland cement concrete placed was tested for field physical properties and laboratory
compressive strength. The reports indicate the specified minimum compressive strength
requirements for the project have been achieved.
This report has been prepared for the exclusive use of providing test data and observations to
