The drainage ditch concrete walls have been removed out to the east property line. None of the existing trees on the property along E. Harmony were viable enough to be preserved. Site is grubbed and roughly graded at the building and parking areas. Interior, below -slab subgrade has not been removed or reconditioned at the time of this report. Building Concrete footings have been excavated, formed, and poured. Footings are neatly constructed and from appearances are true to line and dimension. Reinforcing steel and anchors are in accordance with the Construction Documents and approved Shop Drawings where observed. Masonry foundation walls are about 80% complete. ITEMS TO VERIFY 1. Contractor should keep on file some documentation that shows the adjacent property owner to the east has permitted the temporary use of their property for project access and construction parking. INFORMATION OR ACTION REQUIRED. 1. Contractor will obtain a price from their excavator for removal of existing subgrade soils down to the bottom of the in -place footings, and replacing with engineered compacted fill to limit the effects and potential for swelling of cohesive soils below the concrete slab.

PROGRESS MEETING MINUTES: Items Discussed — HUD Inspector and Owner facilitated the preconstruction conference and reviewed proceedures and formats for communication, labor reporting, payment requisitions. retainage reduction and release, and change orders. Partial release of retainage will not occur unless it can be ascertained that work remaining can be covered by the amounts held, and in no case until work is completed with only warranty items remaining. Expansive under -slab soils were discussed along with measures being taken to mitigate and limit the amount of slab heave in the event soils become saturated. The intention is to permit the entire building to replace or condition soils to decrease the likelihood of differential settlement. 051104.AFROOI .doc 4�� D 1 5 T Y L E Architect's Field Report Project: Fort Collins Supportive Housing Fort Collins, Colorado Project No.: 05.11.04 HUD No. 101-HD041 Date: January 4, 2008 Report Number 001 EST. /.OFCOMPLETION. 2% WEATHER.
