Dear Rulon,
I received your letter accompanied with the packet from Materials Testing and Inspection
(MTI). In this letter you request that I evaluate the company and let you "know if this company
will meet the requirements of the City of Rexburg". As you know, we are currently putting
together a City of Rexburg Special Inspections Program. We are still working on this program.
As I stated to you in our last meeting, until we implement the new program, we will be
performing business as usual. We need to build to the 1997 Uniform Building Code for the rest
of this year and then implement the 2000 International Building Code for projects acquiring a
building permit in 2003. Special inspections are covered in detail in both of these documents. As
for the qualifications of MTI, I find them at the top of there field in this area.
Let me again state that we understand that the material testing firms in our area are
probably not on par with those covering large metropolitan areas. We are willing to work with
you concerning these inadequacies the same as we have in the past. Our main concern is that we
watch that we don't have inspectors who are falsifying certification. This is one reason we are
currently creating the Special Inspections Program. If you have any questions, please give me a
call at 359-3020 ext. 324.
Sincerely,
Val Christensen
