Sam,
I am still working on item 1 the expansion joint slotted holes.
Item 2 welded connection is acceptable in lieu of bolted.

David,
Have you had a chance to review these items? We would like to get the loop closed on so that we can
finalize our inspection.
Thanks,

Subject: 121 Commerce Center - Structural Steel Inspection Follow Up
David,
Following up on our phone call, the inspector brought up two items during his last inspection that we
need approval on for him to sign off.
The deck edge angle at the expansion joints on the West side was presumably installed without
slotted holes. During a previous inspection, a different inspector had signed off on all the
overhead steel but did not document the inspection in a report. During the following inspection, a
separate inspector noted the issue with the slotted holes after the roofing was complete. The
condition was able to be fixed on the East side, but the edge angle is inaccessible without tearing
3
out roofing on the West side. Please advise if the current condition of the edge angle on the West
side is acceptable or if roofing will need to be pulled back to fix this item.
On sheet S5.02/234 the angle connecting the column to the panel embed shows to be bolted to
the column. The hole location in the column provided by the manufacturer was incorrect. To
remedy this, the erector welded the angle to the column in lieu of bolting. Please advise if this is
acceptable.
Thanks,
