Collins, CO B0524 Dear Dick: Pursuant to your request, this letter requirements for compaction over the Westbrooke P.U.D., first filing. is to document the city's sewer service to lot 26 at As you are aware, when the curb, gutter, and sidewalk was placed, the end of the 4" sewer service was found to be approximately 1 foot under the sidewalk,at a depth of approximately e feet below finished grade. It has been our observation that due to the placement of the marker that compaction at the ends of services is seldom achieved,and it is our belief that the trench was not adequately compacted directly over the pipe's end (below the sidewalk), and for an unknown horizontal distance back toward the sewer main. Evidence of this lack of compaction was plainly visible in the excavation, and our records do not indicate compaction tests were taken in this part of the trench. Because of the likelihood of future failure due to the conditions described above, the City of Ft. Collins will not accept this or related portions of the improvements on Shadowbrooke Ct. until resolution of the problem has been assured. As we discussed in the field, two options available to you would be to excavate below the curb, gutter, and walk to a point of known compaction, then backfill with a "Flowable Fill" type product, or to remove the curb, gutter, and walk, then excavate and recompact the trench using conventional methods. If you have an alternate method which will assure proper compaction for the area in question, we are certainly willing to consider it. Please contact our office at 221-6605 with any questions concerning this matter. Thank you.
