Attn: Mr. Ostrand,
This letter summarizes the materials testing Ground Engineering Consultants, Inc. (GROUND)
performed during the construction of the Banner — Fort Collins Medical Center located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of East Harmony Road and Lady Moon Drive (4700 Lady
Moon Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80528). The materials testing was performed on a part-time basis
at times scheduled by the owner, owner's representative, contractor, and/or subcontractor.
During construction, representatives of our office observed reinforcing steel placement and
performed testing on the structural concrete placed for the footings, foundation walls, and floor
slabs. The structural concrete was tested to determine physical properties and compressive
strength. In addition, representatives of our office were on -site to periodically observe the
reinforcing steel and grout placement during construction of the structural masonry walls for
screen wall.
Nuclear moisture density testing was periodically performed on the structural fill soils and
bearing soils during the building excavation and backfill to determine percent compaction and
in -place moisture content. Laboratory testing included the determination of moisture and
density relationship and soils classification.
A Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) was on -site to observe field welded and bolted connections.
Observations were performed during the erection of the structural steel. In addition,
representatives of our office observed spray applied fireproofing for thickness, density, and
adhesion to structural steel members.
Based on the test results and to the best of our knowledge, it is our opinion that the materials
tested as outlined above for soil compaction, concrete, reinforcing steel, structural masonry
walls, fireproofing, and structural steel welded and bolted connections were in general
accordance with project plans and specifications.
The materials testing as indicated above was periodically performed to provide data to the
Owner, Contractor, and Subcontractors to assist them in evaluating the general compliance of
the tested materials and/or work with the contract documents at the times of our observation
and testing. We did not supervise, direct or have any control over the Contractor's work. We
