Dear Tiny,
The following areas are areas we have some concern about with the Special Inspections
being completed at your building. Please get with the Inspection agencies and do a
follow-up on the following areas to see if they have been completed and/or what
-
corrective action has been completed.
Forsgren Engineering
9 Oct Concrete footings have a high slwnp (7 for cylinders 12 8-1.3 1. Tests show they
still reached required strengths. Why was truck, accepted?
7 Nov Concrete footings have a high slump {6 '/�" and 5 �/�"} for cylinders 164-167-
---' i 1
pro(
w�' 4VJ4i7 .�s�„►Y ��aL �i�G �Ul1�.1CLC will aaiy make the required strength.
There are no 28 -day reports but sell why were the trucks accepted with a slumps
so high.?
1.0 Nov Concrete footings have a high slump. of 7" for cylinders 168-171.. Cylinder 168
show a 7 -day test that exceeded the required strength but again why was the truck
accepted witha slump almost twice the maximum?
18 Nov Concrete footings have a high sump of 7.5" for cylinders 188-191. C 188
show a 7 -day test shows that the required strength Will probably be met but agar
why was the truck accepted with a stump almost twice the maximum ? There are
no further results for the ZS -clay tests. Did this batch make the required strength.?
19 Nov A. fetter Nvas sent to Forsgren Engineering from the Building Official requesting
That the high slump matter be looked into and to date this I tt has not been
answered.
25 Nov The floor slab was poured With a high slump again. There are no test results for
cylinders 142-i95 for 7 or 2S -day tests. Why was this truck accepted and did the
concrete finally reach the required strength?
23 Dec Cylinders were bested and found to be "highly frozen"' during curing as noted
below in the comments of the report. The walls were heated but why did the
samples freeze? In the notes it was added that the wall "it is believed to meet the
required 2500ps* in 28 days. Did the wall pass or fail? Why is it believed to pass
1f the cylinders froze? If the average is 1951 psi* as slated then this wall is a
failure and should be replaced for not meeting the required strength.
31 Dee A report was submitted witha notation of invalid due to rapid platen advance for
cylinders 252 to 254., VVhat does this mean?
and only 1 had a load listed.
There were X1$0 3 reports submitted
12 Jan, A mortar lest was completed without anv reits being f fisted for 6 cylinders
(#'s SSS -2b3). Did the cylinders reach the required strength,
15 fan Forsgren identifiedan area that had 2 pieces of rebar as being omitted from a
stem wall. There is no follow -u -o as to actions, �f any, that were required. Did the
enDneer pass this area as being OK without the mbar being in place? Was he
even notified?
21. Jai Forsgren identified areas that appeared to have frust in, the mortar and a letter was
made up. There are no follow-up actions, if any, and what was required. Did the
PI
engineer pass this area as being OK?
MTI
12 Dec Decd puddle and seam welds were inspected and severai were
refected and marked for re -inspection but no re -ins pectzon �s documented,
23 Dec Report indicates tha-t S puddle welds and 1 i seams welds were rejected and
are-inspectiQn upas required. There are no re-�rispection reports for pass or fail.
The distfibution area had ledger angles ins�ected but there was no lift available to
inspect the bottom side welds. There is no follow-up on the welds for the bottom
side of these welds. Did they bass, fail, or not inspected?
5 Jan Ledger angle welds were inspected above but the bottom melds were not
inspected. Did the welds far the bomod� s�P ass, fail, or not inspected?
S Jan Ledger angle embeds were inspected and passed. �.th the exception of welds

9 Jan A boli inspection was completed for the distribution. renter and the results
were complete but were they in campIiance?
16 Jany Deck puddle welds were completed and in compliance with the exception of
b puddle welds marked for re -inspection. Were these weds re -inspected?
Reliance Testi*ng
13 Nov Cylinders 1531184 were
tested and found to not make the requixed strength..
11jIL), Lai tcrupeFalure was nelvw minimums and almost frozen at 33 degrees. Why
wasn't this mortar rejected at that time and not waiting 28 days only to find out it
did not rake the minimum requirements? Was the engineer notified and what
was his remarks, if any, and shouldn't this wall be replaced?
Cylinders 186/187 were tested at 28 days and did not make the required strength.
This report did not have a mortar temperature as in the a.bove report and neither
cylinder made the required strength.. A thermometer was an site for one set of
cylinders why not for the other set? As in above was the engineernot��ed and
What remarks did he have, if any?
Botb sets of cylinders above and 2311234 mere cash on 13 NV embeT but did nut
get to the test facility until I I Dec fora 7 day test,, which had 1 Pass, and 5 faii .6
l.
The 7 -day test would have been. on or about the Zai' of November not 1 I Dec_
Dec I I should have been the ZS -day test, Two reports were submitted and
cylinder 234 had. 2 different results. Which is coffect? (Neither passed) Was a
Z$ -day test ever performed and did theyass?p'With 1 set of cylinders frozen and
another almost frozen and the fast not having a temperature available shows thi's
I,
wall did not make minimum strength and should be removed. was the engineer
ever notified and what were his remarks, if any?
5 Dee A 28 -dad test was preformed on cylinders 217/218 and bath only made the average
strength of 2373 psi. What ids the required strength? Is the required strength for
the mortar 1800 ps�}, for the grout (2500psi)., for the CNW (1750psi) or
something else.?. If the strength is required is be 2500 psi then they did not mike
the required strength but if the strength is for the mortar or CMU they they Maass,
There i s no required strength listed on thlholfte report. Was the engi��e�r notified and
wnaT
was
nes remarks
it any?
I I Ir A I Q
A
ay �G�E Pul-Lolln-ea on � cytzntlers and nether passed. Vias the engineer
no�i�ec� and what was hiss remarks if any. The mortar temperature was at
minimums, 44 degrees. Was a��thing done to bring the
acceptably limits?
12 Jan A masonry prism. was tested that s
temperature up to
hawed the 7 -day strength to 1418 psi. for
cylinder # Z64. There is no follow-up for the 28 -day test and a pass or fail. There
were 3 reports submitted for this cy�ind�r and # 2 b 5 and #26b have no data at all
with different days for testina on #2b4_
There are many discrepancies in these reports and have no foflo-kv-up inspection
reports submitted. If the sump, air, and/or temperature is out of limits as specified in the
speci�ca��ons �t is the responsibility of the special ffispector to refuse the truck. Where is
mortar/grout that was or almost frozen and the compression test's failed. This is another
responsibility of the Special Inspector to reject the material if not within the
Specifications, We now have a substandard footing/w,,all/slab in place that does not meet
the mi�nirnum requirements. The trucks should have been rejected o� the
en
V4 Official should have been notified as soon as possible an followed he
engineer's recommendations. Was the engineer ever notified abort Wiese Candiions?
The building department, as well as the engineer is to be not�£�ed if there is ever a
i
stuation like this per the International Buildin" Codes. We were never no&�ed of any o�
these situations.
We need a fetter for the above items with afollow-up indicating if the inspection
was done and corrrected, or ghat was dine to resolve the s�tua#roe wii�. the engineer's
recommendations so we can show corrective actions for each of these items
Your co-operation is greatly appreciated in answe�ng each of the above items.

Dear Tony,
The following areas are areas we have some concern about with the Special Inspections
being completed at your building. Please get with the Inspection agencies and da a
follow-up on the following ares to seg if they have been completed and/or what
corrective action has been completed.
Fors9ren Engineering
9 October 2Q03 Concrete footings have a high slump (7") for cylinders 128-131
Tests show they still reached required strengths. Why was truck accepted?
7 Novei-nber ?003Concrete footings ba-c�e a high slump (G '/" and 5 ��4") for cylinders
IGS -167. Seven day tests show that the concrete Waliprobably made the required
strength but still why were the trucks accepted with a slumps so highS?
10 November 2403 Concrete footinas have a high dump of 7" for cylinders 1*68-171.
Cylinder 168 show a 7 day test that exceeded the required strength but again why
was the truck accepted with a slump almost twice the max!& imum?
18 N'ovember 2003 Concrete footings have a hi,�h slump of 7.5" for cylinders 1$$-19 1.
Cylinder 188 show a 7 day test shows that. the required strength will probably he
met but again why was the truck accepted with a slump almost twice them"
maximum? There are no further results for the 28 day tests. Did this batch
make the required strength?
19 November 200' A letter was sent to Forsgren Engineering requesting that tine high
slump matter be looked into and to dale this fetter has not been wlswered..
25 November 20Q3 The floor slab was poured Ariih a high slump abrin. There are no test
results for cylinders 192-195 for 7 or 28 day tests. Why was this truck accepted
and did the concrete finally reach the required strength?
23 Dec Cylinders were tested and found to be"hiaZnhlynoted frozen" during curing as noted
below in the comments. The walls were heated but why did the sannples freeze.11
Tn the nates it was added that the ti�vall "xt is believed to meet the required 2500psi
xn 2$ days. Did the wall pass or fail? Why is it believed to pass if the cylinders
froze? If the average is 1951 psi as stated then this wall is a fafl'ure and should be
replaced.
3 1 pec A report was subinitted with a nc�taiion o invalid due to rapid platen advance for
cylinders 252 to 254. What does this mean? There were also 3 reports submitted
and only I hada load fisted.
12 .Tan A mortar Desi was completed without any results being listed for 6 cylinders (no's
258-263). Did the cylinders reach the required strength.
15 Jan Forsgren identified an area that had 2 pieces of rebar as being omitted from a stern,
wall. There is no follow-up as to actions, if any, that were required. Did the
engineer pass this area as being OK without the rebar being in fflace? Was he
even xaofif ed?
21 Jan Forsgren Identified areas that appeared to have frost in the mortar and a letter was
made up. There are no follow-up ac��oxls, if any, and robot was required. Did the
engineer pais this area as being OK?
MTI
12 December 200,3' Deck puddle and seam weds uere inspected and. several were
rejected and marked for xe-rnspectian but no re -inspection is documented.
?3 December Report. indicates that $ puddle welds and I I seams welds were rejected and
*d
a re -inspection was required. There are no re -inspection reports for pass or fall.
The distribution area had Ledger angles inspected but there was no lift available to
inspect the bottom gide welds. There is no follow-up on the welds for the bottom
side of these welds. Did they pass, tai�, ar nai ��spec�ed?
� fan 2004 Ledger angle welds were 7nspected above but- the bottom welds were, not
inspected. Did the welds for the bottom side pass.) fail, or not inspected?
S Jan 2004 Ledger angle embeds were inspected and passed with the exception of welds
marked for re -inspection. Were these weds re -inspected?
9 Jan 2004 A bolt inspection was completed for the distribution center and the results
were complete but were they in compliance?
16 Jan X004 Deck puddle welds were completed and in compliance with the exception of
6 puddle welds marked for re -inspection. Were, These �,Nields re -inspected?
Reliance Testing
13 Nov Cylinders 183/184 were tested and found to not male the required strength. The
mortar temperature was below minixnums and almost frozen at 3_3 degrees. why
wasn't this mortar rejected at that time and not u+altl.11a 28 days only to find out it
did not make the minimum requr.rements? Was the engineer notified and what
was hip remarks, if any, and shouldn't this wall be replaced?
Cylinders 186/187,vvere tested at 28 days and did not make the required strength.
Thj'&s report chid not have a mortar temperature as in the above report and neither
cylinder made the requi.red strength. A theri-nometer was on site for orle set of
cylinders why not for the other set? As in above was the engineer notified and
what remarks did he have?
Both sets of cylinders above and 2311234 were cast an 13 November but did not
get to the test facilitv until 1 I Dei for a 7 day testwhich had 1 bass and 5 fail.
The 7 day test would have been on or about the 20t" of November not 1 I Dec_ 2
reports were submitted and cylinder 2'34 had 2 different results. Which is correct?
(Neither passed) Was a 2$ day test ever performed and did theN..,, pass? pec I I
should have been the 28 day test. Wi.th I sit of cylinders frozen and another
almost frozen and the last not havino- a temperature available s1lotivs this wall did
not make minimum strength and should be removed. Was the engineer ever
notified and what were hihs rcmaxt,-s, if any?
5 Dec A 28 day test was preformed on cylinders 217/218. and both only made the average
strength of 2373 psi. What is the required strength? Is the required strength? Is rt
for the mortar (1$40psz), for the grout (2500psi), fir the CMU (I750psi) or
saYnething else.?. If the strength is required to be 2504 psi' thethey did not mike
the required strength but if the strength is for the mortar or CMU then they pass,
there is no required stren�t�l listed on tine report. Was the engineer notified and
what was his remarks if acv?
11 Dec A 2$ clay test performed an 2 cylinders and neither passed. Was the enbin�eer
notified and what was his remarks �f an��. The m.artar t��per�ture was at
mini�l�ur��, 4Q degrees. Vas an��hing done to bring the temperature up to
acceptable limits?
1.Z fan A. masonry prism was tested that showed the 7 day strength to X418 psi, for
cy�a.�ldex- � ��4. There is no follow-up for the 2$ day test and a pass or fail. There reports submitted for this cylinder and 4, 2G5 and #2G6 have no data at all
with different days for testing ars #264.
There are many dihscrepancies in these reports and have no followT-up inspections
submitted. 7f the slump, air, and/or temperature is opt ofl imits as specified in the
sp�cif catro��s it is ���e responsibi�ii�,� of tie special inspector to refuse the truck. Thee is
mortar/grout that was or almost frozen and the compression tests failed. This is another
responsibility of the Special inspector to reject the mate la if not within the
specificaiians. We naw have a substandard tival] in place that does not meet the minimum
requirements. The engineer should have been notified as soon as possible and followed
his reconunendations. was the engineer ever notified about these cflndxtions? The
building department, as well as the engineer is to be notified if thea is ever a situation
IIke this per the Iniernatianal Building Codes. We were never notifzed of any of these
situations.
We need a letter for the above items with a follow-up indicating if the inspection
was done and corrected, or what: was done to resolve the situation with the engrnee:rs
recommendations so we, can show corrective actions for each of these items

special �nspectors at the Deseret Industries project. A load of concrete was placed after a

document, I would appreciate your inva Ivement in rectifying the problem. If you have

RE: Inspection of Footing Subgrade for 01 Build-ing, Rexburg, Idaho
Dear John Watson:
01-02-0136
As requested by the city building department an October 28, 20-03 i inspected the fooling subgrade
for the northeast column of the canopy along the north side of the bu'ld'ing. awing excavation of the
Bating, the contractor discovered a drainp'ipe, which was apparently pari of an abandon drainfield.
the subgrade material is well -graded gr2vel with sand in a firm and dry condition. There is no
indication that the drainfield has been used recently.
The design foundation bearing capacity was staffed an the plans as 1500 psf. The foundation
subgrade in the subject area will easily support the design load of 150p Psf. The drainpipe should be
cut off at or below the footing subgrade, and if any void remains it should be filled v+ri#h concrete.
Upon removal of the pipe above boating subgrade, the foofings is approved for placement of
reinforcing steep and concrete.
if you have any questions or need more information please do not hesitate to give me a call at (208)
356-9201.
Sincerely,
FORSGR'EN ASSOCJATES, INC.
