McCann of Dibble Engineers, Inc. Mr, McCann is a registered structural engineer in the state of Washington. The purpose of the site visit was to determine if the space frame, as repaired, is structurally safe to not only remain in place, but to have the fabric for the sign reinstalled. During the site visit, several pictures were taken and are included as attachments to this letter. The original pictures taken by White Sign showed several tleteriorated members in the space frame assembly. The space frame observed during the site visit was fully visible and painted, generaliy appearing in good condition. The spaceframe is attached with bolts to the front of the roof structure through the vertical members, and with diagonal struts to the roof structure at the rear of the spaceframe. The supports appeared to be in good condition and the frame felt very rigid. Nevertheless, two conditions were noted: 1. There is a location on the south side of the frame where a vehicle had hit and distorted the assembly at some time in the past. The tlistortion occurs at a vertical joint in the space frame where two frames meet. This is not considered to be a structural issue of concern as the distortion is only visual, antl neither the members nor connections are negatively affected. 2. There are still two areas of rust that need to be repaired. One is at the north end of the east side of the frame, and one is at the west end of the south side of the frame. Neither is in an area affecting the structural integrity of the frame, but the rusted areas will only migrate with time unless arrested now. These two areas are shown in the attached pictures. Consequenfly, if is recommended that the contractor, White Signs, repair/replace fhe two rusted areas. Once the removal of the rusted areas is accomplished Dibble Engineers feels that fhe structure wrll have been satisfactorily restored sfructuraNy to allow the new fabric for the sign to be installed. Mr. Kim was verbaliy instructed during the site visit to replace in kincl the affected members of the space irame. 1029 r�/arkei Slreet, Kirldnntl, 61'A 98033 P. =12.5.828.d200 I'Jj
