Dear Mr. Obermann:
At your request, a representative of Quality Engineering was present at the above referenced address
to observe and document footing and foundation wall formwork and reinforcement on May 4, 2016.
The formwork and reinforcement that we inspected is in compliance with the direction, details, and
specifications of the plans, dated February 29, 2016 with the exceptions noted:
The spread footing between the two garage doors was specified as an 8"x24" footing and was
not 24" wide at the time of the inspection.
Quality Engineering verified load requirements for the foundation and requested that a
30"x30"x8" pad be poured underneath the 3'/2"x7%2" LSL post.
Since these changes have been made, the footing and foundation wall formwork and
reinforcement have been constructed in compliance with no exceptions noted.
Quality Engineering, LLC has only visually inspected the items noted above. We have not performed
an in-depth;load analysis on all portions of the structure. It is possible that structural defects exist as
a result'of items that were not inspected or that were not visible. No warrantee is either expressed or
implied.
If you have any questions or if you require further investigation concerning this structure, please
call at (970) 416-7891. -W&q&Vft%ft_
