This observation was made to confirm that framing construction was completed in substantial compliance with the direction, details and specifications noted on the 3-plex structural plans prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation; plans dated March 2020. During this observation, several correction items were found including but not limited to incorrect headers at the 3`d floor sliding glass doors, missing king and trimmer studs at several door and window openings, missing header strapping at portal frame headers, two (2) misplaced foundation holdown straps which will require post-installed holdowns, and additional nailing of the exterior shear wall sheathing. Shear Engineering Corporation was present on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 for a follow-up framing observation. This observation was made to confirm that the framing correction items identified during the preliminary framing observation were substantially completed. During this observation, it was noted that a majority of the framing correction items were completed, but there were still some missing header straps and king studs on the main floor. Shear Engineering Corporation was present on Tuesday, July 6, 2021 for a final framing observation. At this time, it was observed that all framing correction items have been substantially completed and it is the opinion of Shear Engineering Corporation that framing construction has been completed in substantial compliance with the direction, details and specifications noted on the 3-plex structural plans prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation; plans dated March 2020. It should be noted that these observations include the exterior shear wall sheathing nailing and the foundation wall holdowns which have since been covered by siding. Shear Engineering Corporation was contacted on Thursday, August 5, 2021 regarding holes that need to be drilled through stud packs or LVL floor beams. Shear Engineering Corporation reviewed and approved all of the proposed hole sizes and locations including at the front main level window where a pipe is needed for a water spigot, at the side main level window where a gas line is needed for the range, and at the double (2) LVL floor beam at the top of the stairs on. the 2"a floor where four(4)holes are needed for water lines. 4836 S.

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 3-plex structure prepared by Shear Engineering Corporation dated March 2020 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/Commercial Building M1-M4; Detached Garages G1-G4; Fort Collins, Colorado";EEC Project No. 19-01-150; report dated September 30, 2019. Shear Engineering Corporation was present on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 for footing formwork and footing reinforcing placement observations. Shear Engineering Corporation was present on Thursday, March 4, 2021 for foundation wall reinforcing placement observations. These observations were made to confirm that footing formwork and reinforcing placement and foundation wall 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 and foundation wall 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. Shear Engineering Corporation observed the installation of the perimeter. foundation wall insulation on Wednesday, March 10, 2021. This observation was made to confirm that perimeter foundation wall insulation was completed per the foundation details and Energy Code requirements including R-10 rigid insulation installed from top of footing to top of wall. 4836 S.
