Dear Christopher,
In accordance with your request our office performed a site observation of the Palo Ver&- project in order
to observe the framing to date of the above mentioned lots and have found them in general conformance
with the plans. The site visit consisted of a walk through observation of the construction, that was visible.
No dismantling of construction or testing was performed to verify construction that was not readily "
visible. The observation does not relieve the contractor and builder from making sure that the
construction conforms to the city approved construction documents. If you should have any questions,
please contact this office.

Senior Building Inspector.

P.O. Box 1504
78-450 Avenida La Fonda
La Quinta, CA 92247-1504
RE: Tract 32279 Model Slabs (Lots 13. 14, 15)
Dear Mr. Kirkland:
This purpose .of this letter is to discuss the history of the pour of the model. slabs at tract
.32279 (Palo Verde), and propose a resolution that will satisfy the City of L-A Quinta
Building and Safety Department related to the missing pre -slab inspection record /
signatures.
The background to the pre -slab inspection is as follows. Standard Pacific scheduled a
footing inspection for the model lots, which the City shows record of and approval. The
slabs were poured under. the supervision of a deputy'inspector using a monolithic
technique. The Construction Manager; Chris Hayes, was covering two model complexes
at the time, and has placed slabs in many neighborhoods that were post tension,
.monolithic pours, which is why one inspection•was called instead of two. The building
cards were lost, after the plumbing inspection by the contracted plumber, and were re-
issued. This re -issue process occurred at or about the time of the footing / pre -slab
inspection. Standard Pacific contends that the footing inspectionwas a footing, and pre -
slab inspection witnessed by Steve Willett, who is no longer with the City.. In an attempt
to gain an additional perspective, Standard Pacific has left voice mails on mr. Willett's
personal cell phone, but to date, has not received..a call back.
That said, the City of LA Quinta does not show a record of a pre -slab inspection.
Standard Pacific is a.leading home builder with high integrity, and would not
intentionally by-pass an inspection process, and strongly desires to resolve this issue in a
timely manor to the satisfaction of th'e City.
Southern California — Coachella Valley Division
PMB #303, 1717 E Vista Chino Rd, Ste A7, Palm Springs, CA 92262 1 TEL 760.699.6200 I FAX 760.699.620'1 I www.standardpacifichomes.com
Since the City shows a record of an approval on the footings, the area in question is
related to the slab only. Standard Parc proposes to X-ray the each one of the model
slabs in a'random location in order to demonstrate that the rebar reinforcement is in
F substantial conformance with the engineering drawings drafted by the structural engineer
of record.
Additionally, a core sample can be taken at a random location in each model slab in order
to confirm the slab thickness is in conformance with the approved plans.
This proposal has been discussed with RGF Engineering, the engineer who drafted the
structural. drawings for this neighborhood, and they are in agreement that these steps will
demonstrate conformance with the plans, and will write a letter to that effect pending the
results of this proposal. They will also review the load tickets, deputy inspection report,
and concrete placement location map as part of their review.
If the City is in agreement with this proposal, Standard Pacific will hire a third party'to
perform these tests in a timely manor. In order to maintain schedule, Standard Pacific
requests the City allow construction and inspections to continue during the testing
'process at its own risk, as it is critical to' -open the models in the -peak *season.
If the City is in agreement, with this proposal, or has an alternate solution please contact
me, as we desire to resolve this as soon as possible. I can be reached via email at
broper@stanpac.c6m by cell at (949)9'33-9078, or at the address on the letterhead.
Thank you,
