Summaries of our observations were presented in Daily Field Reports Nos. 1 through 99, dated November 12, 1997 through September 28, 1998. These have been provided to the general contractor, Construction Associates, and to Michaelis — Swenson. The Field Reports should be referenced for details of the results of our observations. This letter provides only a very brief summary of our work. In general, the activities we observed typically were in general accordance with the plans and specifications. In cases where they were not at first in general accordance with the plans and specifications (such as inadequate compaction of fill, or improper subgrade preparation), they were subsequently corrected. Although our services are often provided on a part-time basis, we typically prefer to observe subgrade preparation for all footings, if possible. For this project, we observed subgrade preparation for the majority of the footings. however, there were a, few footings that were poured without our observing the prepared subgradr,. These were interior footings along grid line K (specifically, K-3, K-4, K-5, and K-6), as noted in Field Report No. 85, dated June 26, 1998. provided the subgrades for these footings were prepared in a manner similar to those footing subgrades we did observe and considered to be properly prepared, the unobserved footing subgrades should be suitable to support the design foundation bearing pressure. In conclusion, it is our opinion that the geoteehnical-related construction activities we observed were completed in general accordance with the plans and specifications. .a, NELSON.COUVRETTE 6 ASSOCIATES, INC.
