FINAL REPORT - SPECIAL INSPECTION WORK FOR ADVERTIZING SIGN
STRUCTURE , 5908 E. BROADWAY, SPOKANE, WASHINGTON.
PROJECT NO. 98-3307
This letter summarizes Special Inspections and observations we performed for erection of
an outdoor advertizing sign structure located at 5908 E. Broadway, in accordance with
Sections 1701.5(6) {high strength bolting} and 1701.6 {general provisions} of the 1997
Uniform Building Code. The sign is a wood face monopole design with 24" dia. column.
We visited the site on Sept. 14, 1998 to observe installation of the sign header and the
associated high strength bolts. Eight 3/4" galvanized A325 bolts were installed and
tensioned by the turn-of-nut method. Our observations were reported to the contractor's
field superintendent, Mr. Wayne Kuntz.
Our inspection was performed by an ICBO (International Conference of Building
Officials) and WABO (Washington Association of Building Officials) Certified Special
Inspector. Based on our observations, it is our judgement that the inspected work was
performed, to the best of our knowledge, in a generally acceptable manner and in general
compliance with the approved plans and project specifications, and applicable
workmanship provisions of the Uniform Building Code.
