Dear Mr. Howard,
As requested, a Geotechnical Engineering Group (GEG) representative
performed observation and testing services on a full time basis during
construction of the structure foundations listed above by Garfield County Building

tested concrete properties, observed reinforcing steel placement and
documented structure to foundation anchorage for each of the structures. The
purpose of this letter is to present our review of observation and testing data and
our conclusions regarding final foundation construction of the Switchgear
Building. In summary, the Switchgear Building structures (Permit #11208) was
constructed in conformance with the referenced engineering design documents.
