Re: Lots M-27 to M-30, Block 4, Old Town North; Fort Collins, Colorado
826 Jerome Street — 4-Plex
Dear Ms. Ellis,
It is our understanding that excavation observations were completed by Earth Engineering
Company, Inc. A copy of the excavation observation report is available through the office of
Earth Engineering Company, Inc.
These lots are suitable for a spread footing foundation system. The foundation plan for the
proposed 4-plex structure prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation dated August 2017 was
used. Footings were designed for a maximum allowable bearing capacity of 1,500 pounds per
square foot (dead load plus full live load) and a minimum dead load of 500 pounds per square
foot according to the recommendations of the site -specific geotechnical exploration report
prepared by Earth Engineering Company, Inc. titled "Geotechnical Subsurface Exploration; Old
Town North Townhomes; Fort Collins, Colorado"; EEC Project No. 16-01-164; report dated
December 1, 2016.
Shear Engineering Corporation was present on Friday, December 1, 2017 for footing formwork
and footing reinforcing placement observations. Shear Engineering Corporation was present on
Thursday, December 7, 2017 for foundation wall reinforcing placement observations. Shear
Engineering Corporation was present on Thursday, December 7, 2017 for exterior pier formwork
and reinforcing placement observations. These observations were made to confirm that footing
formwork and reinforcing placement, foundation wall reinforcing placement, and exterior pier
formwork and reinforcing placement were completed in substantial compliance with the
direction, details and specifications noted on the foundation plan.
All footing formwork and footing reinforcing placement, foundation wall reinforcing placement,
and exterior pier formwork and reinforcing placement was completed in substantial compliance
with the direction, details and specifications noted on the foundation plan.
During footing formwork and footing reinforcing placement observations, Shear Engineering
Corporation verified that Ufer ground rods were sufficiently tied to the strip footing
reinforcement mats and extend vertically to meet generally accepted Ufer ground installation
requirements. The Ufer ground rods placed with footing reinforcement meet generally accepted
Ufer ground installation requirements.
If you have any questions concerning our observations, please call us at (970) 226-5334.
