[3ox 1544 La Porte, IX 77571 Dear Mr. SmIth r Tnrs letter is to bring to your attentIon certatn problems whIch we feel are tmportant and requIre actIon or clarifIcatIon. I. In fabrication of the copper gutters and down- - spouts, the seams were- made with copper rivets Instead of . solder and sealed wIth a light gray sealanT. Thls Is u~~ \ accoptable; specifications call for coppar solder. 2. The threshold at the new entry drops 1-5/8 Inches ... -.~. Instead of the required 1/2 Inch as shown on drawing 5/A-4. This vIolates the St8ta BuildIng Commlsstons handIcap re- quirements for entrance and exit. Thts must be corrected. . 3. The new floor slab poured Is approxImately 1/2 Inch hIgher than the existl1'l9 siab at the 'expansion Jolnt~ This . is unacceptable. 4. The' ~sbestl Ie f I ash t ng on the north face of the I Jbrary Is appl led poorly. We want no sIgn of asbestlle on the vertical walls. 5. We wish to state that we strongly disapprove of the roofing appllca~lon. It was done at three different times: Initial roofIng, expansion Joint roofing, and rerooftng around replaced gravel guard. 6. The ~echantcal system Is not complete. The exIstIng lIbrary has boen without service for too long. The mechenlcal system must be completed Immediately. 7. We need to be tnformed when the mecban!c~1 system is , complete. Our mechanical/electrical englnoer must check-out the system before tt Is closed tn. 8. There have been no test results forwarded to us for any 28 day breaks of concrete for the slab or grade beams. . . ,;- : . ! '\ . , ,: , ~ I - , . . .
